TBayXXXVII 2,203 Posted September 24, 2020 Asking for a friend: Had nothing changed about this incident with the exception that Taylor and her bf been white... would anyone even have known about this? Also, had the cops been black, would this still be racist? To add, had the cops been black and Taylor and her bf been white... would this still have been racist?

These unfortunate events happen to a range of people. But there is political capital associated with those rare instances where it happens to be a person of color. So the media exploit it for ratings and to serve their leftists masters, and hate groups exploit it to undermine faith in government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They wouldn't have proceeded the way they did had this been a white woman instead of a black woman. The police would've come at 8 pm instead of 12:40 am. They wouldn't have shot an unarmed white woman just as they don't shoot armed white teenagers that just finished killing innocent people. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My brother had to participate in a handful of these instances in his 25 years. Not fun, he said. They were always shot at. Of the 4 instances, only 1 time were the people not white. In all 4 instances, there were multiple deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he didn't realize it was the police, but it doesn't change the fact that it was an unfortunate accident. The police were doing their job for the most part. The guy thought someone was breaking in. He shot. He made a mistake. The one cop started randomly spraying. That was a mistake. He's being indicted for it. Breonna was friends with a drug dealer and allowed him to have packages delivered to her house. That was also a mistake. Accidents happen. This isn't some targeting incident like the protests would have you believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WAVE reported that Taylor “called” to quit her job as an EMT after serving in that capacity for five months, and that her termination form included a “do not rehire” box that was checked. The city wouldn’t comment on the reason, citing privacy policies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not all 13% are committing crimes. So it's a even a smaller % that is committing 51% of the crimes. Let's say it's 50%, (that's probably high) that means 6% of the population is commiting 51% of the crime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not the definition of racism any more. It's if you have any bias at all. For instance, if you see someone's name is John O'Brien and you assume that he's white, you're racist.
