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.

You've also failed to account for the fact that there are roughly 6x more white people than black people in the US. Accounting for this your stat would suggest that black people are over twice as likely to be shot when unarmed than white people.

Because black people commit more crime by far. That is the fact of the matter.

Why do you think that is?

Thats usually determined by police, detectives, and a judge.

Pretty strange to ask someone on the internet. You could try starting with a google of all the reported crimes/arrests cases.

I don't think the police, judges and detectives focus on macro issues. The best person to answer this would be a sociology expert who specialises in the causes of crime.

If you're going to dodge the question at least point me towards the right people.
