Holy shit, looks like some people LIKE to get race-baited. They ACTIVELY look for reasons to be baited.
First off the demographics of NYC: 39% White, 23% Black, 27% Hispanic, 13% Asian.
Secondly, the demographics for the NY Police Force: There are MORE minority Police Officers (11,700) than there are white ones (10,500). There are almost as many minority Detectives (2,200) as there are white ones (2,900).
But with ALLLLL that, the first thing that people do is jump to the “It’S aLL RaCiSm!1!!!”.
You people need to go outside more. You are talking about one of the most diverse cities in the country, with one of the smallest populations of white people, with a police department that is made up of a majority of minority groups and a black mayor. And with all that, you immediately jump to the bullshit that racism is at place.
You misspelled victimhood. This is a city that is nearly split evenly between 3 races (roughly 30% of the population each). In that kind of place, you are not a “minority” unless you want to endlessly be called a victim because you know that will get your special treatment.
This is a place with a black mayor, with majority black police officers, and yet victims still want to cry racism.
Again, you can still enact racist policies while being of the same race as the victims. The problem is institutional, not just personal. Just because they get a black guy, or populate their strike forces with more diverse people, doesn’t mean racism is solved. It just means people like you can safely ignore the problem.
Nah, they just don’t care. They know they’ll never be in that kind of bind. They know they’ll never have to live that. So since they don’t have to, they will literally never care. As far as I’m concerned, the settler-colonial descendants have to learn tragedy and calamity like what they’ve inflicted before it can be trusted they have a lick of empathy in the corses they call hearts.
So you decided to add to the avalanche of idiotic drivel? Bc that’s what your comments are. Absolutely moronic buffoonery.
Learning about, acknowledging, and discussing systemic issues is a societal duty that all adults should take seriously. But somehow I get the feeling that you see societal issues as a team sport.
Which shows a fundamental lack of intelligence (both mental and emotional), lack of care, and inability to think in a way that opens yourself up to new thought.
You’re so not racist that you circled around and became racist. Minorities can be racist. The mayor being a black man doesn’t mean racism is dead you walnut. FFS has everyone forgotten NWA??
So 40% of the population is only being stopped 5% of the time while the other 60% are stopped 95% of the time? Why didn’t you include this statistic with your others? Your superficial argument boils down to someone saying “I’m not racist. A friend of mine is black!”

Lastly, do we have to remind everyone who the mayor of NYC is? Newsflash, it’s this guy: https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2021/11/02/ap_21299839634856-15de819fbdc2d00eb39794e510225e27a5f60ec3-s1600-c85.webp

You don’t get a “Get Out of Racism Free” card if you’re born a minority, you know.

Too many people either don’t understand or don’t take into account systemic issues that are foundational to many institutions.
Nah, they just don’t care. They know they’ll never be in that kind of bind. They know they’ll never have to live that. So since they don’t have to, they will literally never care.

Racism is a systematic issue. It doesn’t just manifest near white skin
Yes, the black mayor has told the black police officers to be racist against black people. Yup. That sure makes a whole ton of sense!1!! /s
You do realize you’re getting angry at an argument no one is claiming, right?
Were you born this stupid, or do you just drink a lot of lead paint?
I read a lot of the idiotic responses in this thread and it made my head hurt from the race-baited stupidity.

Educate yourself, fool.
