Red Deer Anti-Racism Rally Interrupted By Hate Groups,

[rumrocks]

As I've said before, I don't like the word racist, lazy people use it.
Prejudice is a more accurate word, more personal, easier to ask why you've already determined you don't like a person and based on what. A conversation starts.
To me racist means group or large number of people.
But prejudice means one individual.

Okay if you say so! Solving systemic racism is kind of out of our hands anyway. But it sure helps if voters acknowledge and accept it is a reality. And I don’t believe you are raging racist. We are all a bit racists in our views sometimes. And it’s possible to be a conservative and concerned about systemic racism as well. I know several families Of colour and families who have adopted brown or black kids and the thing they want the most is that their kids to be happy and have every opportunity to succeed. Let’s help them make that happen!

I understand your family unit has probably felt the brunt of racism and seen the worst in people over a lifetime. I hate that there are people who aren't accepting of someone simply because of the colour of their skin.

I am aware of how lucky I am having been born where I was and being the colour that I am.

But you have to admit that calling people a bunch of ignorant racists is hardly the approach to bring them to your see your point of view.

It's a curious approach.

All whiteys are racist, and all blacks and natives are incapable of racism. Got it!

Here’s a clue flea, to help you solve the puzzle. Systemic racism refers to multiple events and affects over many years. It’s not measured by just one or two events!

Flea are you trying to play the white victim card? Read This:

No white victim card here. Just showing how ludicrous it is that the exact same situation is racist one way, but not the other. That is the definition of racism.

Personally I don’t think either situation had racism at play, but thanks for confirming that you are categorically a whack job!

Nope. The dominant race and elite in the United States are white. It’s a case of incompetent and poorly trained cops who don’t know how to do their job which is to serve and protect! I am sure there are racist black and Hispanic cops but systemic racism against whites in the USA isn’t an issue.

So it is racism if a white guy kills a black guy, but not so the other way? Got ya. Whack job

Because you disagree with them and me! Really you can’t cope with other points of view? Welcome to real world not the sheltered one you inhabit! LOL

Of course I disagree with a group of people using violence and hate to push their views on others. Who wouldn’t?

So back to the original question. Do you think that timpa’s death was just as much a case of racism as Floyd’s?
