I would explain it to you as I have before on this board but something tells me you wouldn't even take the time to understand. But bottom line is you are wrong. You believe something stupid because you lack the skill to analyze it yourself
Man there is a mountain of evidence that minorities are pulled over/ stopped, arrested, & incarcertated at statistically significant higher proportions than white people.

A handful of people's opinions respresents millions? Man I feel sorry for you. Surely you've thought about this deeper?

It has long since stop being just our little corner and so Liberals are going to take notice because they can't stand for it.
It's particularly funny when we get liberals from Democratic Underground because they are so unaccustomed to even bumping into thoughts different than their own. They have the nerve to call our board one-sided when their site actually has policies Banning any thought they don't like
Yeah you are correct. I think I love this place because I know how bad the leftist NPC's hate it. Lol.

Just for fun because I already know I'm almost certainly a thousand times better than you at math and statistics. Let's have fun. Articulate your understanding of the numbers. I feel like having a good time beating your arse

I'm going to listen on the radio and if they make BLM a part of the program i will turn it off. I don't have plans to go to any games this year but thats mainly because my team sucks and it's expensive.
ESPN is all about that shite. If you are paying for cable and buying merch, your "boycott" doesn't mean shite. Make the real moves to stop giving money to them if you really want it to change.

Should we wait for a link?
Even if that were correct (it isn't) the only issue BLM cares about is Black People Killed by police. And that number is significantly less than white people.
LINK
250 black people killed by police in 2019. 403 white people killed by police. 55 total who were unarmed. 14 of those were black, 25 were white.
The country is being torn apart over a lie.

Are they breaking the law at a statistically significant higher rate than white people?

America isn't institutionally racist.
It has insitutional racism roots at the minimun slavery, convict-lease system, Jim Crow, War on Drugs is still on going. You can try to disavow the impact od these things but they are insiturionally racist and a big part of American history.

Affirmative action is racist.
That's actually a fair point. Be aware that many succesful minorites want affirmative erased eventually as well. They just still find it necessaey for now. Meritocracy is always the ideal.

Prentending? Dude the civil rights act was 56 years ago. We're just starting the 3rd generation from there. Where do people get this notion that racism has vanished? It's still there right out in the open, it's just not nearly as vehement.

And there's nothing childish about giving up something, no matter how fun it might be, if it conflicts with you're core values or principles.
No there definitley can be. If your principles or values are misguided then it is illogical and childish, by definition.

At this point in time you would have to be a fricking RACIST to watch any of this sport nonsense that is inflicted with the BLM, kneeling etc.

I know most conservative like the respond with this point but it's actually not the strongest Point against the Absurd stat
The strongest Point relates to population distribution. You see an order for there to be a negative interaction with a police officer you first must actually interact with a police officer. And interactions with police officers are a function of both officers per capita and officers per square mile. Which means interactions are more common in population centers. And blacks are not 13% of the population in population centers so the expected rate wouldn't be 13%
Sometimes to illustrate a bad stat it's helpful to use an unrelated stat that does the same problem
If you wanted to calculate somebody's likelihood of being harmed by a shark you wouldn't run the numbers and then conclude that for some reason sharks just dislike people who lived near the coast more than people who live in Iowa. You would recognize that people live on the coast are supposed to get attacked at a higher rate then people who live in Iowa. You can do this from any stats. Tornadoes don't hit people in relation to their demographics in the nation on the whole. In fact basically nothing does so using National demographics for the expected rate is ignorant out of the gate

And you don't see the statistical problem with that? Really? What's the justification then?

I already explained why there isn't a statistical problem a little higher up. Your problem is you don't know how to do statistics so you can be easily lied to by people who do

Key word.
No use kneeling now unless you think the system is still racist.
I don't.
They do.
I'm not going to watch sports not simply because I disagree, but because I feel that what they want will fundamentally harm America.

I deny it, so it's not undeniable.
quote:

Trevor Noah was excusing the riots by saying we need to understand how the rioters perceive America and the social contract we've all "signed".
Chris Cuomo asked the rhetorical question "Please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful."
Chris Palmer (ESPN personality) chided the rioters to burn that shite down on twitter.
I could go on.
No. It's not bi-partisan. Large sections of the left did support the riots.
quote:

Name the system/politician/law that's so clearly racist.
quote:

You can disagree with the principles all you want, but the act of not supporting something, however fun it might be, because it goes against your principles is a show of strength and maturity.
The fact that you didn't see that, or still don't see that, shows how weak of a person you are.
