What if the police officer was also Black, of course the argument would say Oh a black man would not do that to another back man.
I understand..but for the purpose of argument. You saw 2 human beings of the same color. Im sure there are black policemen as equally abusive as white policemen. Again I say not all policemen are abusive!
Would this be a case of a hate crime or its just a police brutality case...how is media would run it on the news so it will also garner much attention and create anger and riots around the world? Would it be easy to garner much attention as the one we currently have?
Or let say the policeman was a chinese or Japanese (American) or Mexican would it garner hate riots towards the Chinese, Mexican and the Japanese Americans?
Or another situation...the policeman was Black and the one on the ground gasping for air is a white man.
Would white men go out in riots and protesting “White lives Matter”?
Maybe yes...they have the right to do that as citizens of America.
In closing: All human beings around the world are suffering and experiencing police brutality...injustice...prejudices.... bullying....torture.... poverty....Covid19
This is the reality!
Would be ok to say “All human Life Matters”???
There was a slogan in the rioters “ If your neutral about the situation you just took side of the oppressors” I ask who are the oppressors???....the whites....the yellow...the brown....the blacks???
One was chanting end the racism!!!!
If you want racism to end it should start from you...stop looking at my color and stop calling me as my color...stop calling me by my religious beliefs...stop calling me because of my culture....stop treating me indifferently because of my skin color!!!
I am a human being with a God given name.!
Maybe Racism would be taken out of Webster dictionary as part of everyone language!
But of course I live in America!

This is what you get with identity politics. As far as racism goes, I was a white minority in my NJ High School. Racism goes both ways. I’ve lived it, yet never thought about destroying someone else’s property.
There’s a guy who likes to tell racist jokes to the staff and some members of my golf club. He actually thinks that he’s not a racist because he tips well and “is only joking around”. He has no idea how much they despise him.
So, bottom line is racists exist, and I’m afraid always will. It’s taught. Nobody comes out of the womb hating someone because of their skin color.
Personally, I don’t judge people by their color, religion, ethnicity, sexual gender, or sexual preference. I judge people on whether they’re azzholes or not.
