re: California emergency room doctor murdered because he had "white privilege"

Roger, you are the sort of person who thinks it is entirely "reasonable" to jump to the conclusion that a Black man was just randomly overcome with racial hatred to the extent of seeing a given White man for the first time ever and then attacking that man and killing him with his bare hands.

I see that sort of reaction as being unlikely, so I consider other possibilities.

In my experience, Blacks do not randomly attack White bystanders, screaming "White privilege." Generally, confrontations arise when the White person does something (usually completely innocuous) that the Black person INTERPRETS as an indication of "White Privilege" ... perhaps such as running a stop sign or cutting-off someone in traffic.

You be you, and I am QUITE content to "be me."

Roger, you consider yourself to be more literate than I. That is ... just entertaining.

Evidently. Everything you've said here is wrong, and was in the OP.

I suppose emoticons work better for you.

I did not SAY that he ran the stop light or a stop sign at THIS intersection. It seems more likely that SOMETHING happened earlier and offscreen for THIS security camera.

Again, you think the motorist just "saw Whitey," lost control and flew into a murderous rage at the mere sight of skintones low in melanin. I see that as unlikely.

you support defense of the guilty.

You struggle to grasp the difference between "defending" the attacker and seeking an explantion for his behavior. FYI, prosecutors tend to have a higher success rate when they are able to provide the jury with a coherent motive for criminal actions.

---

We can all agree I hope that running down a bicyclist for race reasons it evil.

---

Agreed, if that is the precipitating event. Can we also agree that it is "evil" to attack and kill someone for a minor traffic infraction, if THAT is determined to have been the precipitating factor?

Yet you run to the defense of the evil...

You are very histrionic. I recommend a Midol.

You just keep digging holes and give examples of what people say about you. You think you're so superior that you are the judge on this forum. You chime in to right the wrongs .. narcissistic personality 101

And another one. You really need to give your therapist access to your daily post on here. Whatever he is trying isn't working

I can see in my own little corner of the world that this is in fact true. Sure, right now, it's only the extreme Left Radicals that are doing it, but, it is happening.

Best guess? He probably did what cyclists do ... ran a stop sign. The motorist decided that he did this ... not because he was a cyclist but because he was White ... and lost his mind. Crazy.

My only question is whether "race" was the precipitating factor in this attack, or merely incidental.

quote:

---

Was George Floyd’s race the precipitating factor or merely incidental? Looking for your honest opinion.

---

---

I assume you are asking whether his race was the motivating factor in how he was handled by the police or whether it was incidental to their behavior.

In my opinion, incidental to his criminal behavior in the store and his subsequent behavior toward the officers. If a White or Latino suspect had behaved in exactly the same way, I have seen nothing to indicated that the officers would have behaved differently.

On the other hand, I have little doubt that FLOYD's racial perceptions may have colored the way that HE chose to behave.

Is that what you are asking?
