Okay.
I myself never understood the habit of being proud of something you had no part in creating. You just happen to have been born to a certain. Could have been any race & it really shouldn't be celebrated as an achievement when all it is, is an accident. I suppose it's a bit like being proud of your country, sports teams or similar.

It's tribalism.

Look at how whites need to repent for ills of the past, kneel for some things done by other peoople and all these talks about reparations, etc. I know that many here do not support this, but these are narratives that are being pushed by the Progressive and/or far Left. It's all the same thing imo.

Even if the "worst case" is true and black people are somehow genetically more inclined to committing crime it doesn't matter. Yo do not get to use prejudice against people, in the same way, we don't prejudge men because men commit most crime, by far, that's literally not how a bell curve works so anyone would be a fool for doing so.

how about if police brutality is the part of their training?

if that policeman didn't intentionally prejudice against black criminal, just because he was a white cop and killed a black criminal in that moment, then what do you think?

Yes, the answer is yes... the real question and the one you're alluding to is: Does he treat a black person like a potential criminal when he crossed paths with one?

I'd suspect the answer is no, just as my answer is no... for the exact same reasons I don't treat every dude I meet like a potential criminal.

So you are saying it's okay to think a person's skin colour is more likely to make them a criminal if you don't act on it? But the problem is, that people do act on it, cops in the states treat black people a lot more harshly than white people because they go by the same BS that "black people just commit more crime"

This is such n00b level stuff to get right that I always find it highly suspicious when someone raises this point.

N00b level stuff...? Am curious, what are your qualifications/experience in criminal psychology? I had no idea I was talking to an expert...

I think everyone wants to know why that is. That is what the stats show in the US, why, really no idea to be honest. Could be many reasons, poverty, bad choices, or other reasons. Not all commit crime for the same reason either

100% agree, and the same pressures don't affect everyone the same way, some people fall into that life of crime, some people resist and live decent lives even though it might be easier for them to be criminals.

White people commit crimes just like black people do, but relative wealth and education levels mean that white people tend to commit different sorts of crime but the idea that criminal propensity is largely due to genetics is lazy as hell and it ignores that people can and do make conscious choices with regards to deciding whether to break the law (but that these are influenced by environment and upbringing)

Well said. Black culture seems to be garbage, though not all of it, and needs to be revamped. Unfortunately the vast majority of black people seem to be brought up in black culture which it's why they are synonymous. So at this present time, yes, black people are more likely to commit crime, because they do.

I don't think one can say a culture is garbage by judging what a few does, but that's just my opinion

No. It's a myriad of factors, mostly socioeconomic, that's why it's prevalent in impoverished urban areas and squatter camps.

Which is why I elaborated with, " though not all of it ". This implies that I'm talking about the garbage parts of that culture as...garbage.
I assume you agree with @SoldierMan post? If yes, then we've established that black culture is what causes higher propensity for crime, hence that culture is garbage and needs to be fixed.
That's how culture changes. You identify the garbage parts, and then change it.

It's cool that you don't even bother to read my comments or understand them but instead just name call. That a pretty "smooth brain" thing to do, as the hip kids say.

It's like saying Muslim Pakistani men are more likely to commit honour killings than white Pakistani men.

Is that true, yes it is, because it has become part of their religious culture and even accepted practise by many. It is not in the Koran as far as I know but culture and religion have become intertwined, probably stemming from the 'woman are property' mentality.

Note that that same notion is not the same for Muslim South African men (at least the media doesn't report on it) because they have a different culture here in SA.

“Black Culture”. Is that universal? Is Black Culture in SA the same as Black Culture in USA?

Pretty sure we're talking about the US. You are in the George Floyd thread after all. Keep up, my china.

Seems probable that it was friction between co-workers that caused the incident:

Wow! That is explosive news!

So it seems it wasn't race baced @TysonRoux where's your laughing face now?

It seems it was a beef between two men who simply didn't like each other, and the one took advantage of his position in power to give it to the other guy.

All you progressive leftists that want the world changed because of racism, where's your facts now????!!!
