re: Lebron comments on the Ahmaud Arbery shooting

Even the fricking OT seems to have come to a consensus that this was racially motivated and that the guys who did it should get locked up. But since LeBron commented on it everyone here backs the murderers. Y'all are the same as the Orange Man Bad people. Sad.

What is “the underlying racism that causes killings”?
Do you know how ignorant and deranged you seem?

Bad people shoot people. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter if they’re in a gang or some lowlife in Georgia.

I mean I dont think it was an explicit racially biased hate crime. But I find it hard to believe it didnt play some underlying part

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!”
Personal decision making and cultural pathologies are the key drivers.

I dont care to get into it with the race thing or the specifics of all LeBron said.
I will say this, that shooting is fricked up. The 2 guys absolutely deserve to go to prison.

People are taking issue with race baiters like lebron trying to extrapolate this into some grand cosmic struggle/issue that afflicts all of society.
Wrong.
There is one victim here, his name was Ahmaud.
"The black community" is not a victim here.
shootings of blacks is not to blame for the severe dysfunctionality of their community.
Read some thomas sowell, by far the smartest writer on what ails the black precincts.

Are we going to pretend like we don’t know the various stories I’m referring to, similar to this one, where a black man/woman was killed in at least some part to racism (whether overt or subconscious)?
Not sure if you’re trying to be intentionally obtuse or if you simply lack the intellectual capacity to understand the concepts of racism and how they play into these type of events.
My guess is you like to keep things pretty simple. You probably don’t understand how race can be involved in a crime like this unless a KKK member guns down a black guy and yells “white power”.

Of course he does.
Gotta try to get people to stop thinking he cheated on his ol lady somehow.

Hate to break it to you, but I never once said racism is the key cause of why blacks are behind other groups.
It’s incredible the lengths people want to go to avoid admitting racism is a real problem
I’ve never said it’s the biggest problem. Never said black on black crime isn’t an issue.
All I am saying, is racism in America is very real and is an issue to the black community. That is it. That’s the point. No one wants to address that or admit that, and point to problem X or problem Y instead.

How many blacks in America were killed last year by white people specifically motivated by race?
Are you seriously arguing that if all racist killings of blacks magically stopped, the black community would start rising?
Give me a break.
Being killed by a racist white is not even a top 10 issue facing a poor black teen growing up in an inner city or poor rural county in the south.

I’m not talking about normal murders
I’m talking about profiled killings fueled by race such as what happened to this young man.
Smh

See he’s not directing these comments at law enforcement he’s directing them at a race of people
I don't think he is. The people in this case called 911 literally to report a black man running in their neighborhood, then the father/son duo rolled out to play vigilante with a shotgun. Then, when Arbery tried to jog around them, son pointed the shotgun and fired. Arbery struggled with him and got shot twice more. Then father/son lied to the cops.
Don't make this about all white people. I'm white and I have no kinship to the actions of the people in this case. There's a far more specific subset of white people that would pull up on a guy and try to play Robocop.

It was (is) a fricked up situation
But with ALL of these situations, I always ask, ‘did the perpetrators shoot the guy BECAUSE he was black? Or did he shoot him for another reason and the guy just happened to be black?’
This certain situation may be a bad example, I’m not sure. But I don’t understand why it always has to be a white vs black type of deal
