I was curious about just how widespread this problem is, so I looked up some stats.

Black deaths in America, per year:

heart disease .....................90,000
murdered by black person ...7,000
car accidents....................... 4,000
killed by cop ...........................220

I have no problem with LSU/Nike try to lower any of the above numbers, but why did they only make a video about the last item on that list? Is there a logical answer?

Why won’t LSU make a video on the innocent people losing their businesses and getting beat helplessly?



Because they’re not trying to recruit middle-aged shop owners

55 killed in past month. Just in Chicago....


This is my biggest issue. When things like this happen people are so quick to call racism. Maybe the guy is a racist pos. Regardless he deserves prison at the very least. Everyone agrees. But I’ve seen this exact thing happen with white cops killing a white man in almost the exact same manner. But because of skin color its automatically not a racist act. I believe justice needs to be served but the fact that everyone keeps yelling racism everytime this happpens does nothing but fuel and poison peoples minds into thinking that all cops are resist pos. That’s a dangerous narrative to present to America and looks where it’s gotten us. An endless cycle of ignorant biggottry on both sides.

Maybe the cop is a Racist POS, or just maybe he is a BIGOT. So we're both in agreement here.

Can you please list all the incidents where an UNARMED white person was killed by a Black cop or ANY COP. I'm not trolling, I'm just curious to see the stats.

This is one incident that we ALL agree on.

This is where you are dead wrong. All cops are not bad, There are far many GOOD/GREAT cops that are awesome people, but they get a bad rap, you know just like the people who are peacefully protesting being lumped into the same category as those that are rioting.

About the same number of unarmed whites are killed by police as unarmed blacks; but the rate is much higher for blacks since they are a smaller % of the population. Blacks also tend to live in higher-crime areas with more police presence, which might explain some of that difference.

why the frick you think we are in this situation of dealing with perpetual willful dishonesty and ignorance and selective outrage from the left?

They have zero critical thinking or research skills. zero. nada. zilch. they only believe what their social media and msnbc wants them to see and believe. They do not want the facts because then they have to be accountable and responsible.

That’s just LSU recruiting. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.

But I bet you believe the rhetoric that good ole FOX NEWS spews out huh buddy.

quote:

They have zero critical thinking


Critical thinking is when you can look at the issue from BOTH perspectives. Seems you have an issue with that.
Critical thinking does not work when someone ASSUMES to know what the hell they're talking about.

Who is the THEY you are speaking off, keyboard warrior. Lets be specific here.

quote:

They do not want the facts


There's that damn word again:THEY

shite, dude. you're killing me with this word, THEY.

Did we (LSU) issue statements following any of the racially-tense events, Ferguson, Trayvon, etc? Serious question.

This is the first time I recall one.
