US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

The media and twitterati had their knickers in a twist over 50 people gathered outside the high court a few weeks as those present weren’t respecting social distancing in a pandemic. Not to mention a British civil servant going outside the 5km radius was killing people despite only seeing his family.
I hope there’s similar editorials and twitter rage over this mass gathering in Dublin?

So in Ireland for example, discrimination against travelers leads to crime? Is that your argument? Would be interested to hear other opinions.

Do you honestly think the USA isn’t a racist country? Genuinely now.

I would say it’s one of the least racist countries in the world, based on how diverse it is and how long it has been diverse.

I merely asked a question to a misleading stat, something that irks mentallers like yourself. You confirmed my suspicions and then went ‘but but but’. I used to think you were a wum but not so sure after the weekend. You made an awful show of yourself. You keep plugging away though.

What about the whole apartheid until the 1960s thing?

Does the study say how many of the unarmed people shot by police in the US are black? That might have been relevant.

Instead you tell that us one in ten people killed by the police is unarmed, and one in ten isn’t attacking anyone. As if that’s a decent enough strike rate and so the police must actually be grand.

You can’t discuss racism against black people without dragging in whataboutery and irrelevant bullshit. Because it suits you that this stuff goes unremarked on. Because you are a racist.

They had great diversity below on the plantations, says Labane.

It’s not a misleading stat, it’s factual. There are more black people killed per capita than other races in the US. The argument that this is because police like to shoot black people doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. The great majority of police shootings involve people engaged in violent crime, and those shot are just as likely to be shot by a black or hispanic officer as a white officer.

A shameful episode. I wouldn’t be throwing stones though, Ireland still has apartheid towards travelers today.

Those screaming racist at other people are most likely racists themselves.

Yes, all shootings in the study were examined by the race of the victim and the race of the cop involved. Look I understand a scientific study is beyond your comprehension, but you should give it a shot, you might learn something.

The one about more whites than blacks being shot by police was a misleading stat. Very misleading.

Let me guess, the racism has left him deflated.

There are more whites shot by police than blacks, that is simply a fact.

It’s a misleading stat that purposely ignores the ratio of whites to blacks in the US. Put the two stats together and then compare and then we can get a more realistic picture. You mentallers love an apple and orange comparison.

I think that’s a pretty stupid comparison to be honest. The reason the hospitals don’t have enough is because of the pandemic, same as hospitals throughout the world. The police are over weaponized in the states for sure but thats policy decisions over years, combined with the recruiting from military culture id guess. A comparison worthy of Twitter.
