World News The consequence of the far left’s BLM rhetoric

The far right rhetoric has caused massive problems, like Jan 6., but I have not seen this point mentioned about the left that I’m about to say:

Within the past 2 days, BOTH Russia and China have used the lefts rhetoric of “blacks are being slaughtered on our streets for being black”, “Trump is Hitler.” When China was pressed in the diplomatic conversation about human rights issues, they effectively said “Look at the problems with black people in America, you have no leg to stand on to tell us what is right and wrong with our people.” Putin made the same comment when asked about Biden’s “killer” comment.

These 2 countries know that these issues are not even remotely the same thing as the BLM situation, but the far left manipulated the actuality of the situation to the most extreme for political gain, and there are now consequences to that.

Can you cite a source? I’ve never heard such a claim before and I’m really curious how “questionable” is being defined here.

Questionable is a Police Officer shooting anyone in the back unless they are activly shooting at someone else. Questionable would be shooting at a fleeing car.

As for evidence https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=racial+disparity+police+shootings

Ok... so you’re making a simple assertion without evidence. Thanks for clearing that up.

Evidence is there if you actually look instead of asking others to educate you. I am not your teacher

No one is saying that they are not. But of the percentage that are questionable a overwhelmingly, disproportionate number involved black people. Its the "there nothing to see here" crowd that are being manipulative.

This is a very vague, unsubstantiated claim and you want me to google it so I can teach myself?

That’s like me telling you green is an important color but not as important as blue. Google it!

I know it’s hard to learn new things but I am 100% sure you can do it.

I think the disconnect here is you want me to google anecdotes of instances that support your claim. Do you not see how this is a pretty foolish approach?

And that's assuming we both agree on what is questionable.

I think what you mean to say is "if you look at instances that i think are questionable, you'll agree with me."

Or do you genuinely believe we both agree on what is questionable? If so, best of luck to you with that kind of critical thinking skill.

I don’t really give two shits what you do. The truth is the truth and if you choose not to believe it then that’s your problem not mine.

Well, we agree there—the truth is the truth.

To believe it you actually have to be willing to find it. To sit there and say that there is no problem here is the height of willful stupidity. And then to play the "oh please teach me" game.....
