This is the way it is going to be for the rest of forever, I hope you guys all realize that. Doesnt matter who is sitting in the oval office. It happened with the best president ever Obama and the worst president ever Trump. Social media brah.
Depressingly. Yeah.
I have no idea how we get out of this. Obviously anecdotal but EVERYBODY feels more radical and deadset on their beliefs
Internet was supposed to help people understand each other but instead everyone wraps themselves in their own echo chamber and gets high on stories that confirm their bias
I have no idea how we get out of this without a mythological MLK type persona
We don't. It's over man.
The media will twist and turn any situation where a black person dies by cop into this regardless of the facts. And I dont care what policy changes are made, exception scenarios are going to occur in which a cop kills a black guy, justified or not.
lol jesus, I agreed with you up until here
You don’t see that you’re doing exactly what you’re complaining about?
I agree, the media stirs the pot on a lot of things, but you don’t think that maybe black people feel legitimately mistreated by police and the criminal justice system?
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I honestly don’t think black people being killed by police is a major major issue. It’s an issue definitely, but you can count the number of black people killed this year on one hand. While society definitely deserves justice and people like Chauvin belong in jail for a long time, in the grand scheme of how many people die every day, I don’t feel like it’s that pressing and maybe I’m heartless for saying that.
THAT SAID, this goes a lot deeper than just cops killing black people. There are legitimate, constant issues with black people being discriminated against, mistreated by the criminal justice system and otherwise racists f*ckfaces dehumanizing them. The war on drugs disproportionally hurt the black community, tactics like stop and frisk disproportionally affected the black community.
It’s **** depressing going to websites like reddit and 4chan and seeing how nonchalantly idiots type “**** [n-word]s” and **** like that
And then you have idiots like Kyle Rittenhouse who I would guarantee said the words “I’m gonna shoot some [n-words]” before driving to Kenosha
But on the other side, as I’ve said before, this isn’t just a white people are evil thing. The black community Isn’t absolved either. We all know the murder rate statistics and then other dumb groupthink bullshit like “black people cant be racist because they don’t have power” or whatever
No one attempts to listen or understand. Everyone just surrounds themselves with people they agree with to become more hardened in their views. And I have no idea how we get out of this
Obama didn’t do much, Trump made it worse and Biden is a wet napkin. Maybe Kamala as a minority can do something but I’m not hopeful
We’re ****
