To whom it may concern: - Floyd was not perfect but it didn’t justify his neck getting knelt on, let alone for ~9 mins - Floyd got so much attention b/c his murder was a blatant, undeniable act of police brutality *caught on video* - Neither party is all that great but gotta choose one in our two-party system That’s it folks have a great day
They already argued this in court & lost because all autopsies done showed he died from asphyxiation & several experts concurred. It does seem like conservatives are just picking apart this one instance of police violence to discredit the idea that black americans are disproportionately victims of unnecessary police violence
“Tashella Dickerson, the executive director of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City, was charged with wire fraud and money laundering for allegedly misappropriating over $3 million intended for social justice initiatives.” There i did your easy ass task for you. Heres one good example.
Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, has been sentenced to 42 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Helmick after a jury convicted him of wire fraud and money laundering for defrauding donors of more than $450,000 that they collectively gave to his nonprofit “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta”
Goalpost shifter? Brother I didn’t move the goal post. You said “BLM is fraudulent” as if the organization is a monolith. To prove your point you would quite literally have to prove the organization IN ITS ENTIRETY is bad. You pointing to a few examples of people being bad isnt proving your point. It’s not my fault that concept is to big for your brain to grasp
you guys are genuinely slow in the head. we are talking in circles because im talking about the literal organizations and you keep pivoting to the overall movement. but you can’t look at actual federal prison sentences and say there’s no fraud happening. it’s not "one bad apple" when top directors are getting locked up for stealing millions. you can support black lives without riding for a fraudulent ass organization
You quite literally said BLM is fraudulent. You are referring to the ENTIRE ORG. Thats factually incorrect. You are speaking on specific people. One person cannot discredit the entire organization. Yes BLM of greater Atlanta was a fraud but BLM as a WHOLE isnt. It’s not my fault you can’t convey your thoughts effectively. Blame your teacher.
bro if you don’t want “lousy bum criminals” to receive international attention, maybe you should advocate against their blatant murder in the streets. we all saw the same video; if you think Chauvin’s conduct was valid, I sincerely hope you find yourself victim to the same above-board, standard treatment. You’ll find that most of us struggle to muster sympathy for your braindead ass as you suffocate to death surrounded by your neighbors, just as you failed to do so for this “lousy bum criminal”
nah bro it truly is just you and your fellow cruel disaffected zombies that can’t be brought to give a fuck for their fellow man. no greater self-report than to act like it’s somehow exceptionally virtuous to not want innocent people to die, but I suppose it would be if ur politics revolve around punishing those with whom you disagree.
Kind of a ridiculous time-line to cite. Within the past 250 years, we’ve seen several parties rise and fall within the two-party framework. The Federalists-Antifederalists, the Whigs, the Know-Nothings, the Nullifiers, the Free-Soil Party; Hell, even the Socialists have held seats in Congress before. It is inaccurate to assume that the Republicans and Democrats are all there ever have been or will be as options to American voters.
well it was 2020 the only difference with floyd was the visibility bc there wasn’t much else going on but if you’d been paying attention or involved with advocacy you’d know there are murals and memorials of a myriad of victims of police violence. people have been doing this for decades yall only started paying attention with floyd
That’s not what a whataboutism is, there is no false moral equivalency… they are literally the same thing. The only difference is the past of the victim, but being a felon doesn’t give an officer the right to kill you. So it doesn’t contradict the COMPARISON (your vocab word of the day 🙂)
he was either overdosing or resisting arrest, make up your fucking mind because those two things are very mutually exclusive you cannot fight back you are seizing and convulsing you are not definitely not capable of shouting “I can’t breathe” while you are overdosing, your goddamn eyes roll back and you lose your faculties man
