There is no harm in recognizing differences in race, but it is a problem when its done with the intent to discriminate and marginalize another race - not saying that's what you were doing, seeing as you have already confirmed you were not.

The problem there is the false assumption that differentiation is done solely for discrimination. The seeing of malevolence where it never existed, this too can be toxic behaviour where someone constantly looks for needless conflict.

Just be careful of jumping the gun is all I'm saying. I have always critisised everyone equally yet barely anyone seems to notice I don't play team sports :laugh:.

As you might imagine I am often called a "right wing racist" by some and a "deranged liberal" by others.... recently someone launched into a insulting diatribe against me and accusing me of being the latter because I dared point out he was spreading something that was tainted by fake pictures..... if only he knew what some of the trolls (that shall not be named for phobia of summoning them) on mybb have routinely called me :ROFL:.

A gun makes everyone a killing machine, but now we can get onto the topic of gun control - why are they allowed guns again when they belong to fringe groups?

Because of white privilege, the original sin

I mean the 3percenters recently lost a "member" who was shot by SWAT because they said he was reaching for his rifle(which he wasn't even allowed town due to a previous crime) and found a stash of guns in his house.

You think people like that, no matter how stupid and snot-nosed they are, owning a gun is safe?

For some people owning a knife or car is unsafe..... also there is no such thing as perfectly safe it has never existed.

Gun sales in the US is apparently soaring.

Gun shops and hardware stores selling plywood are definitely making a killing.

The Amish are a fringe group in society, yet don't really cause anyone any problems. So being in a fringe group isn't necessarily a good reason to deny someone from owning a gun.

You would have a lot more success in simply requiring both practical and legal competence for ownership, as the most dangerous people with guns are usually the most incompetent with them. Requiring someone to be able to hit a target at a suitable range, clean the thing safely, and know when the legal system allows you to use a gun or not would seriously decrease the amount of gun deaths.

A large proportion of the problem in the US are boomers who don't understand basic gun safety.

You don't need to be clued up on guns to know that pointing a loaded firearm at your face is a bad idea.

So guys, why are we not talking about the autopsy report that shows the knee to the back of the neck caused no injuries to the strap muscles of the neck. Did not affect the throat/wind pipe. The brain showed no signs of hypoxia. It was concluded that there were no physical injuries that attributed to Floyd's death. Stress from the act of being arrested coupled with his heart condition as well as meth and fentanyl caused his death.

He believed he couldn't breathe because he was having a heart attack due to drugs and a weak heart.
 
Terrible what happened to this guy at the end. But if you look at the Video he struggles with police is put in the car and jumps out the other door. Don't you think had he just got in the car stayed still he would still be alive today.

How many police officers did George Floyd kill?

Depends, was he lawfully arresting any policemen which then resulted in triggering a heart condition not directly caused by physical pressure to the neck with a knee?
