I meant to comment on this mediocrity days ago. I guess i forgot.
Well, i guess to simplify my reply to this video. I would ask, whats the point of this video. "Its to clear up the narrative of the innocent black person in america, as if there isnt a reason theyre more involved in violent confrontations with police, and disproportionately are involved in many violent crimes. "
Ya, THAT REASON ISNT SIMPLY BECAUSE THEYRE BLACK. The problem with videos like this is it looks at a result, and not the cause. We do this a lot as a species. I do it myself often at times, but am usually self aware enough to know when im doing it, and either own up to it, or recant my bullshit. Yes, black people disproportionately make up a lot of crime in certain areas in this country, and they are also… ugh, i mean, do i have to explain black american history again.
Do we not get this by now. Do we not understand the centuries of slavery, racism, and ongoing systemic oppression of a people based on their skin color. Do we not see the global influence of this systemic racism, all the way down to the fucking bible. Your fucking jesus isnt even portrayed as the skin tone, and hair texture he is suppose to have, and we’re making videos about essentially black people needing to stfu, cause its your fault. So again i ask, okay guy who googled fbi facts, now what. YOU GOT US. Black men and women in low income areas generally tend to be single parents, more violent, less educated, etc… Shocker. Someone give this man a masters in psychology and economics.
I dont think white people are afraid to point out statistics. Its just that theyre inappropriate to bring up if it doesnt relate to that matter at hand. What crime did freddie gray commit besides running, and then happening to have a knife on him. What crime did he commit that deemed 80 percent of his spine end up being severed, for apparently god knows what reason. There are countless cases of this happening, and its clearly happening disproportionately more to use then anyone else. Killed over cigs. Killed at your bachelor party in nyc for doing nothing. Harassed by cops almost everyday, even when the owner of the store tells you, this kid works and sleeps here, hes a little fucking mentally handicap and im helping him. Killed because some dude is allowed to stalk you as a citizen, confront you, and assume youre committing a crime because your black, and not complying to a stranger. The list goes on.
How convienant to talk about RACIST facts, and ignore the bail set for a young man breaking a cop car window is higher than any of the officers with a multitude of charges against them for the death of freddie gray. That right there is the systemic racism that has infuriated people in this country, and especially black people in this country, as we’re more in touch with it now then we have ever been.
The thing about this video is that there is no need for it. This is a video based on insecurity, and fear. “A black sub culture that encourages violence”. So are all these predominately white movies, tv shows, and sub genres of music that promote sexism, violence, greed, etc… , “A white sub culture that encourages violence”? No, there is no such thing, just like there is no such thing as white comedy, white movies, or white tv shows, but there are black comedies, black tv shows, and black movies.
Any video giving you such a general narrative of such complex issues should obviously always be ignored, because i assure you black crime isnt any more out of control in middle to upperclass predominately black neighborhoods, than white ones.
Trust there are millions of poor white people ready to throwdown or do some wild shit just like a random poor black dude from miami-dade county. Only difference is the system seems to still favor them more when theyre caught doing the same exact crimes black people are caught doing.
**Calm down with your racism against you black people, its a myth. Yeah, that rich white teenager got off with driving drunk, speeding, and killing his friends and a family in another car, because of his affluenza, but black people, you can get affluenza too, you just gotta use your power when you have it. This is mostly about classism, not racism. Racism and “hard” prejudice barely exist these days guys. You too can, murder people while drunk and speeding down a highway, and go to a comfy rehab in cali, youre just selling yourselves short, and buying too much into the propaganda of racism. Silly black people, just obey the cops, and you will be fine, like that guy who commented on the poop a cop was scraping off his shoe, saying it stunk, and then they booked him for disorderly conduct, then lured him into an alley, and beat the shit out of him OUTSIDE OF THE PRECINCT for no reason. One of them also got to keep his job for now, and likely will keep it until he quits.
Oh wait, thats not a good example. hmmmm**
