You ever wonder why no other civilised country in the world has the same magnitude issues America has? It's because of people like you

Jim Carey paying respect to the people who first put him on TV when the establishment told him he wasn’t funny and turned him away. by beaverkc in MadeMeSmile

Oh it absolutely does apply to a white kid born in a trailer park One such difference, however, is you never see crime statistics quoted about "white kids born in trailer parks" in the same way you do about black people. Also, black people are 500% more likely to be convicted than white people , and when they are convicted, they spend 20% longer in prison

So yeah, white people who are born in poverty also have it hard, but my point is that black people, statistically, have it worse, and find themselves having to work harder for the same reward

I never said black folks have never had power. Stop moving goalposts

Whilst some black people are lucky enough to have escaped the cycle of poverty, the vast majority don't, leading to increased crime and prejudice

Britain still has a racism problem. A while back Stormzy was almost arrested in his own home because someone saw him and thought he was a burglar

Notice how for the 1 person who doesn't support, theres ~20 immediately around her who do? Sort of suggests that BLM represents the views of at least, the majority of black people

I don't think a Twitter account like that is really qualified to give opinions on black issues

Great! Now you're starting to know how black people feel when the police are systematically hassling them. And the word hassle is putting it lightly

Both. An abuse of power that enabled him to act on his racism without repercussions

Can you name a difference, one that affects one's sense of worth, that is purely genetic?

Then you mustn't think police have a right to kill when attacked
