You might want to educate yourself on race related homicide statistics.

Please don't tell me you think these hooligans shouldn't be arrested
I'm saying there isn't proof that this was a racially-motivated hate crime.
Maybe it was. But until more facts come out, it's irresponsible to push that narrative.

Dont think people are saying that these murderers were hunting black people like lebron insinuated. But I find it very hard to believe these guys do the same thing to some random white guy. It wasnt explicitly racial motivated, but I find it hard to believe if it didn't play some kind of part, subconsciously

I’ve never understood this comparison. It’s a completely different dynamic. Gang members shoot people because they’re gang members and bad people. It doesn’t need to be spoken out about because it’s something everyone can agree is a problem - gangs are an issue and no one thinks they are okay.
This is different. It’s an innocent black man dying because, well, he’s black. Racism is still very real and very alive and it does hurt the black community. These things need to be spoken out about because people (see this board) don’t believe racism is still an issue.
Here's the thing though, gangs kill thousands of people a year. A black person getting killed by a white person is minuscule in numbers compared to this. Why not focus on the bigger problem that we know exists.

quote:This kind of stuff happens to White people too. The difference is that you never hear about it because the media can't play up the race angle. Remember that story out of Houston a year or two ago where the police barged into a home and killed the husband and wife? Turned out the husband and wife were innocent. They were white, so the story pretty much went away. If they were Black, it would have been front page of every newspaper and website, and people would have been protesting.
But I find it very hard to believe these guys do the same thing to some random white guy.

Look, I know this board does not like LeBron, but the Arbery shooting is an ugly incident.
I've posted a lot in the OT thread and I'll let those stand. Other than whether the hunted comment is hyperbolic, this isn't an offensive thing at all.
Even the hunted comment, that video shows the guys sitting and waiting on Arbery with guns and then drawing on him as he tries to jog around them. Hunting is not the worst metaphor for their behavior.
In the same way I'm not a fan of people who let their personal dislike of Trump get in the way when Trump says the right thing, there really isn't anything bad about what LeBron said here. The Arbery killing is ugly.

Damn it only took one post
The mere fact that you cannot admit this is more likely to happen to a black person than a white person is exactly why shite like this still happens
You can’t even give an inch when it’s right in front of your face. And that is sad

Whites killing blacks IS NOT currently some huge issue facing the black community.

Wow he such a scumbag

LeBron is a racist, you didn’t know that? See he’s not directing these comments at law enforcement he’s directing them at a race of people, that’s who he hold responsible for this act. Not the individual morons who did this but all white people.

Where’s the outrage about China’s treatment of Hong Kong Lebron? That’s right, it doesn’t make him money
Posted on 5/6/20 at 7:08 pm to RLDSC FAN
Does he talk about black on black crime? If not, then he’s nothing more than a race baiter/race divider.

A white person in America is more likely to be killed by a black person than a black person by a white person.
quote:
Overall, killings of blacks by whites and whites by blacks accounted for about 12 percent of the roughly 6,000 homicides last year in which police had information about the race of both victim and killer – a slight increase from around 11 percent in 2014. About 15.8 percent of white victims were killed by blacks last year, and 8.6 percent of black victims were killed by whites.

The actual killing itself, no it isn’t a huge issue.
The underlying racism that causes these killings, however small in raw numbers they may be, is absolutely an issue regardless of if the white southern TD board wants to admit it.
This thread is a prime example. People can’t help but jump in here and say “look at this! Look at that! Why do we need to focus on racism if blacks also kill blacks!”
