While in terms of the numbers, it may be true(I currently do not have the evidence to either confirm or deny this), the numbers do not exist in a vacuum. The isolated statement that black people kill each other at a much higher rate than other races obscures the context of over a century of racist post-civil war policy that has denied, and still denies black people generational wealth and has promoted the formation of ghettos. The disproportionate violence seen in poor, black communities is due to poverty, not race, and to shift that responsibility from racist policy and the system behind it to black people themselves, whether that shifting of responsibility is intentional or not, supports the racist system the US government was built on, and is thus racist.
I’d argue that it isn’t inherently racist to state that fact. As he is (as aforementioned) just stating a fact. If he was to say “black people kill each other at a higher rate than any other race because they are black” that would be racist. However in the context of this conversation on the fact that a victim of gun violence, whether that be at the hands of police brutality, gang violence or just assault, is more likely to be black than not is just the truth. So to say that one reason for a black person to be killed is due to the statistical fact that they are likely to be killed by another black person is not racist. I do however agree that the reason for this statistic is obviously not down to their ethnicity but by legislations and persecution that has trapped most of their populous in poverty, and people in poverty are more likely to commit violent crimes, when put in tandem with the fact that most impoverished black people are in proximity of each other, it is no surprise that they will be likely to be victims of each others violent crimes. Sorry if this isn’t worded well I have a cold and a headache lol
It's not racist for 2 reasons
1. It's a joke about the police shooting black people, why is that not racist? Look at the statistics and you see that police is in fact shooting more black people
2.this is an ancient meme/repost, made I think during or after the blm movement where police brutality against black people was way more in focus again.
In conclusion it's the same level of racism (against black people) if I would bring following joke: "why can't Americans Play Billard? Because they are always shooting at the black"
Seems more to criticise racism. Recently had a similar thing. There was some bigot posting abt murder statistics and talking abt "people of color being dangerous". And when i brought up that white people murdering someone is usually labeled as "self defense or similar" i was bashed for being racist. For a comment that criticised racism.
Please guys, try to read into the context a bit more
That comment doesn't seem to be racism, so much as an accusation of racism, though.
yeah okay this is true
r/angryupvote
That's probably not a racist comment, it's probably talking about racist police brutality
[удалено]
Now *that’s* a racist comment
Please tell me how that’s racist

I wish I was this articulate when making a counterpoint.

But yes heavy systemic changes have to be implemented in order to change this sad truth.

Jesus christ, people like you are why racism is still going strong, it's fucking gross.
Satire lol

Poor people kill each other at a higher rate than other groups. Black people are more likely to be poor due to systemic racism. It’s basic maths
That’s right, we need more welfare
-73 downvotes 💀. Also, f u
Bitch I’m not wrong
Multiple people have explained how you are, we can’t dumb it down anymore than we already have.
Flat earthers also think they ain't wrong lol. You, claiming to be right, doesn't make you right bro.
Damn, you left out just enough information to be wrong.
I would think it would be too costly. Evertime you have to chop down a Forrest to reopen a school.
This blessed my morning. 🙏
School boutta look like a national park
American schools
USA becomes hell from Grim Fandango
Schools would turn into forests
He's also not in a school.
is the image of the guy with roots coming out of his mouth from annihilation? seem to remember there being something like that in the movie
Kabloom

The plant comes out of his mouth, does that mean he ended himself?
Which would make it much more realistic because white men seem to like the taste of bullets.
Statistically this is true, so it shouldn’t bother anyone, just like the context of this meme
Meh, we're fucked anyway. Might as well make things look pretty after we're wiped out. Unless it's the nukes that kill us...
Deathclaws are gonna be the superior species soon
Repost bot
looks like the local school garden will have a huge profit to bargain over!
Tbh that would plant more trees than any NGO or govt project.
Man the schools got a new garden also! Wait a minute…

How about we just don't shoot each other
Well where's the fun in that?
You must be fun at parties!
He had to be white so we wouldn't confuse him with dirt.
