A white perspective of Racism and White Privilege in the US

[macca]

And now we have the ratbags in Oz using the USA event as an excuse to have a get together and smash a few things and people.

Oz has and is spending a lot of money trying to keep everyone alive and get the place going again, now we have thousands of $$ being wasted supervising the protesters

Here in OZ Less blacks die in custody in % terms than non blacks but, Hey if we use facts we can't get away with all this fun

Aboriginal Australians in custody are less likely to die than non-Aboriginal Australians in custody.

An Australian Government publication, The Health of Australia’s Prisoners: 2015, states: “Indigenous Australians were no more likely to die in custody than non-Indigenous Australians” and “With just over one-quarter (27 per cent) of prisoners in custody being Indigenous, and 17 per cent of deaths in custody being Indigenous, Indigenous prisoners were under-represented.”

Any one here have an understanding of Spike Lee's 1989 'Do The Right Thing' ???
Spoiler alert ...a chock hold death of a black man climax's the film. Who would of thought?

Quite a few of above seem not to have been paying much attention; for the bulk of their lives, to what's important.

and while we're here, 'hat's off ' to the young Rosie Perez(opening credits) great work..you got to 'Fight the Power'
She just so happens to turn up in the Netflix psychedelic doco 'Have a good trip'... some hope there.

Oh and macca 27 % plus of the prison population; and and they make what percentage of the Australian population? ... I'll make it a easy for you..3% son. Someone clever would have realised they were stepping 'big sloppy one' there, before they hit the 'post reply' .
Maybe you need to think a little on those above percentages. not that your thoughts appear to be worth that much.

Only the left understands anything, Orr.

They know feelings are more important than data and science. Twitter was entirely correct to ban FBI statistics as hate speech, and they know covid only spreads among church goers, restaurant patrons, and inveterate drunkards that like to hang out in pubs and punt on the horses. They know covid won't infect the baying leftist mobs, they know they won't take it home and be "granny killers"

Kudos to you, I bow to your superior visceral quotient (sic)

How were the rallies all those in support?
You did all go right?

I have to attend one latter today.

Irresponsible in the circumstances.

Fine at another time when there is no pandemic.

Maybe we could have a protest rally, to reduce black crime rates?
It would have a better chance of improving the outcomes for blacks IMO.

You seen the shops?
Won't make a lick of difference.
Was out Saturday, extremely busy and crowded.

I was asked by friends in the community. Interesting that their reasons differ from the media vomit.

I wonder why the media even bother writing this rubbish, i mean really are we meant to feel sympathy or what. What the hell was the girl thinking being there on crutches, then obstructing police, apart from trying to get herself hurt. Just my opinion.

You mean there is going to be a second wave anyway ? That's just great, another 6 months of lockdown and it will be down to a few idiots that just have to protest against something.

Hi Orr,

I know these people are not the sharpest tools in the shed but why are they protesting about black deaths in custody ? The figures show that they are actually looked after better than everyone else.

If they want to protest about black people getting arrested more than others then do That, if they want to protest about the fact that black people commit more crimes then do That.

Don't protest about something that is not happening, it destroys their credibility

It's coming back regardless. Everyone has stopped giving a sht. You really want to look at it , the left just sacrificed a bunch of darkies to the risk of coronavirus.

As for the protest, went and paid respects to a few elders and community members. I always feel these things are a waste of time. Not much of a "rah rah" drone myself.
A lot of guys my age and above are of the same opinion. Whats this really going to achieve. Idealism of youth I suppose.

Decent turn out, peaceful. The ratbag element was there though. No trouble as far as I know. Looked majority white and aboriginal. Perhaps a lot of whites with aboriginal background, hard to tell. Few Asians, some african descent , really mixed. Handful of radicals. Respectful crowd overall.

I'm not sure if it's everyone getting locked down due to the virus. A changing of the boomer to millennial guard, but there is a weird tension/fear there. Not sure if it's people not knowing their purpose in life anymore. But there was a feeling that there is no going back to how things were. Not talking about just a black thing but a generational shift of thinking. An undercurrent of doubt perhaps.

Given the past year, a lot of community anxiety about the future has built up. Definitely can feel it.

Police Keep Antifa Away From Statues By Taping Job Applications Onto Them

“It’s working extremely well so far. These Antifa thugs won’t go anywhere near an opportunity for gainful employment,” Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck told reporters. “We urge other American cities: if you want to protect your statues of Columbus, just head to the nearest McDonald’s or Walmart and ask for a stack of job applications. Get some tape and stick them all over the statue, and you can pretty much just go about your day at that point.”

“Job applications are Antifa’s kryptonite,” he added.

At publishing time, Beck confirmed that “Help Wanted” signs, American flags, gendered bathroom signs, and notes from their mothers informing them that it’s time to grow up and get their own place should have a similar paralyzing effect on the ruthless Antifa mobs.

Black lives matter more except in the above where who would dare to publish ethnic origin?
As long as we do not fairly put blame on individuals regardless of skin colours, this is just a long descent in the abyss.
We had a similar example of kids killed in Redcliffe this year.
And is probably similar in WA
These kids are dead because of the white male patriarchal society? Or the lack of it which prevents police to do its job on juvenile delinquency based on social origin/race.
The result is these kids are dead.so now what? Another bridge the gap in life expectancy or do we start trying yo sort the issues by taking the race out of the equation.
No one deserves to die that young as a result of the political play of a few dumbwits who you will see protesting BLM .
Lastly, i have it is true no clues on the origin of these kids but have lived long enough here to read the untold.Australia will not face its problem by babysitting the aboriginal community and it is neither helping nor working
.just my opinion

Where is any evidence that the police acted to protect the protesters at Central Station?
What were they doing at Central Station?
The abundant video evidence from protesters shows they were "kettled" by police before being maced.

The police acted against one person who was "aggressive."
The girl on crutches participated in a peaceful protest and was trying to catch her train home. Police had blocked access to a number of platforms. She intervened to try and calm the situation when a police sergeant leaned over other officers and let loose with mace:

When there is abundant information available, offering opinions that do not reflect the facts is not a good idea.

The police were doing the job they were asked to do, I'm sure they didn't require her intervention, as I said what was she thinking.
But as is always the case people can always find an excuse.

This is a good read, be carefull, if you are going to say what you really think.

You mean stop people catching trains?
There is no evidence that the protesters at the station were doing anything they had not done all day - peacefully convey their message. And you want to condone the police using pepper spray on a person trying to calm a situation made worse by their very presence - pathetic!

You've had your say, I've had my say, I am definitely not going to get into one of your senseless debates that go nowhere.

You mean that you have no evidence for what you say, so cannot defend your comments.
Your earlier remarks seemed to want to "blame" a person who was pepper sprayed for no apparent reason, other than being there. Worse, in your eyes she should not have even been there because she was on crutches.
If you venture baseless opinions, expect them to be called out.

 

[wayneL]

Ho hum.

I don't know whether the police made a mistake there or not, didn't see the vid and I'm not going to watch it. Not my concern.

What I find interesting is that the radical leftists among us have this narrative:

The protests were largely peaceful but let's ignore the violence of those who are defacing vandalising and injuring innocent people and property.

A very few cops do the wrong thing so let's taint the entire force with the actions of this small minority, even though the vast majority act entirely lawfully and giving these anarchist scumbags a hell of a lot of rein.

a little bit of critical thinking here in this regard, really does expose a very toxic agenda.
