Moreover, people tend to perceive reaction as victimisation which not the same thing at all.

Thus we (french citizens) understood quickly how american medias are trying to build a narrative around their own history but we are no better.Our politics hide behind words but they are not less racist, it still a european country after all,despite the fact that there is a lot of minorities here.

That’s how I truly respect american people and I know the struggle and the challenge you have to face to change all that. At least US in not Argentina.(their systemic racism is way worse than Usa)

Where does it say this is about history or religion? Or that I only write about history or religion?

You must be confused.

Meanwhile, tu quoque is a fallacy. My article isn’t about problems faced by police. So that there are such problems is irrelevant to everything I just wrote. That you would attempt to use that as an excuse to ignore what I did demonstrate is disturbing. You need to do a reliability test on your epistemology. It’s broken.

You’re late to the party. See upthread where I point out the problem with assertions like this.

Certainly. That’s true for literally everything in the universe. But that some people overclaim x does not mean there is no x. I only write about the x that actually exists.

I think at this point you’ve just lost the narrative. You aren’t listening to what I said, and nothing you are saying here is responding to anything I said.

Until you listen, you will not learn.

Hi Mike! I just listened to the entire podcast. I paid particular attention to the Fryer section—listened to that section twice. I may have missed something, however it seems to me that Sam didn’t actually say any of the things you said that he said.

For example I’ve heard someone claim that the Republican’s insistence to show proof an ID (proof of citizenship) was another example of racism against blacks. It is obvious that they are trying to keep illegal aliens from casting a ballot in U.S. elections.
My response to that is while racism is a problem in this country, not EVERYTHING is racism and not EVERYTHING is ABOUT YOU!

And then there are the assertions that COVID-19 is another example of systemic racism. What a stretch.

As with any issue or topic people shouldn’t take a side or view point and lose their ability to think objectively.

I think it hurts the cause (so to speak) when people label everything as racism and often end up sounding racists themselves (in the process).

After such a thought provoking article, the last paragraph is really just dishonest. Not to sound like an NRA shill, but like them or not they are the arguably the biggest defender of gun rights here and blacks in the country are arguably more affected by strict gun laws than any other group, so perhaps there is something to be said about that. Furthermore, they have defended black people (Josephine Byrd, Shaneen Allen and Otis McDonald, to name a few) so to say never is just false, and by your bar, its how we know they are not a racist organization.

I’m not sure what this topic has to do with History & religion. Also, you may want to check the book: “The War on Cops”.
