One might wonder why police are more likely to kill an unarmed black person.
US studies also show that white suspects were more often armed and more often the attackers in police incidents than non-white suspects, so bias must form an important consideration.

Can you throw in the percentage of population or won't that fit your agenda
 
I always find white self loathing a curious phenomenon. Equally curious is the correlation with other ideological beliefs.

Just sayin'

True, another example, the master race attitude also correlates with certain ideological beliefs.

Who mentioned master race, Knobby?

As for me, I'm more of a "I have a dream" sort of bloke.
 
Just off topic for a second, yesterday I heard Tom Switzers very interesting interview on ABC National with two right wing aboriginal leaders (one a very senior female WA figure) who stated that their culture of victimhood is stopping their improvement and that some people in their community love to foster this and make money out of it.

They also said that we need another model and giving the communities welfare is a disaster as it is soul destroying, they need purpose. Great interview, worth a listen everyone. . they also said that doing a forced little aboriginal acknowledgement speech in front of every get together was becoming counterproductive - I heartily agree with this.

Libs, give these guys the aboriginal ministry

I know this doesn't relate to the USA situation but not sure where to put it.

So am I, just noting the correlation with political beliefs/self worth works both ways.

Such people exist, of course they do.

But while we are on the topic of statistics, I think the numbers of those people with those beliefs absolutely pale into insignificance to the self loathers.

The Guardianistas love to highlight the rare occasion went one of those pops their head above the parapet, but in reality their numbers are miniscule.

If we take ASF as a microcosm, there are zero white supremacists, whereas there are quite a few white self loathers.
 
I used the percentage mainly because it's been a tool to downplay the US deaths from Corona but not in black deaths

How would you know they were white is a curious phenomenon
 
I'm a bit curious here.
Are you a "white self loather" if you think that a policeman kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed Afro American in the street and slooowly choking him to death and then continuing to kneel on his neck for 5 minutes after he stops moving (just to make sure he's dead...) while his 3 fellow officers stand guard to ensure no one intervenes ... is loathsome ?

Or maybe this is just a particularly loathsome act of public execution by police officers in the name of the Law that deserves some outrage.
 
Wiki page for protests in Minneapolis: 2020 Twin Cities "riots"

Wiki page for riots in Hong Kong: 2019–20 Hong Kong "protests"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_Hong_Kong_protests

"On May 29, President Donald Trump responded to the protests by threatening to send in the National Guard if Mayor Jacob Frey does not bring the city under control, saying that "Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts."[25][26][27]"

It's a riot if you're protesting against American racial violence. It's a protest if you're setting people on fire and attacking (mainland) Chinese people. What a world.
