whilst facts are quoted, POLICE DO TREAT other race groups with prejudice - proven. this is also part of lockdown with pent up frustration.. at the end of the day, a person was killed by those who are mean to protect them.

Back home... took a run in constantia, was politely asked by 3 different people.. "what area do you come from?" clearly i do not own "parfam eu - de - constantia"

Yes exactly. I don't believe that there are stats for this kind of discrimination?

I have experienced this first hand when i was accused of shoplifting. I remember that i actually felt like i did something wrong in that situation to make this store owner think i was stealing from him.
It took me a while to realize that i did nothing wrong, that he accused me based on my race, not based on any evidence of wrongdoing.

I dont expect white people to understand this, they have never had their power taken away from them with one word, they have never had someone look at them like they are unworthy of breathing, they have never had someone look at them like they are sub-human and beneath them.

And yes @rietrot this is emotion, but what other recourse is their?
As mentioned above i have not found stats that back up what i have experienced, and yet this is just a microcosm of what is happening daily in the USA. I have friends that side of the world and they have ALL either witnessed or were the victims themselves.
I recall Martin Luther King speaking with boatloads of emotion, and there was some change, however small, maybe that is why i keep using emotion because its worked somewhat in the past.

I know you are in pain and all, but there is a white man who died in THE SAME MANNER a few months ago.
 
Race hustlers coining it off wealthy liberals trying to expunge the guilt of their privilege....

For all its talk of being a street uprising, Black Lives Matter is increasingly awash in cash, raking in pledges of more than $100 million from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute to what has become the grant-making cause du jour.


The Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.


That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.

Black Lives Matter cashes in with $100 million from liberal foundations

Great business to get into if you're a sufficiently debased individual....


This is Race to Dinner. A white woman volunteers to host a dinner in her home for seven other white women – often strangers, perhaps acquaintances. (Each dinner costs $2,500, which can be covered by a generous host or divided among guests.) A frank discussion is led by co-founders Regina Jackson, who is black, and Saira Rao, who identifies as Indian American. They started Race to Dinner to challenge liberal white women to accept their racism, however subconscious. “If you did this in a conference room, they’d leave,” Rao says. “But wealthy white women have been taught never to leave the dinner table.”

Sorry for interrupting your TDS induced rage, but are you going to ignore that this is probably the call of the Secret Service?

Not just TDS. Wizard has always wanted an end to capitalism. He is a huge Mugabe fan.
 
Shoot these criminals with live ammunition. That will send the right message and I bet the looting and violence will magically stop in a day.
 
Did the rest of the world not get the autopsy report ?
Why are they marching ?
Did they ever release toxicology as they did speculate about it ?
