Yet Black Lives Matter appear to have rallied under this claim that racist cops kill black people for funsies. The fact is, a black person gets shot by a police officer and there's a thorough investigation scrutinising it in search of any foul-play to push along this narrative.

This doesn't support the narrative that police are systematically racist against blacks when dealing with them or making arrests, and Black Lives Matter are shining a light on it.

Quote:

 

“African Americans are more than twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during vehicle stops even after controlling for non-race based variables such as the reason the vehicle stop was initiated, but are found in possession of contraband 26% less often than white drivers"

Quote:

 

lthough Black people accounted for less than 15 percent of all stops in 2015, they accounted for over 42 percent of all non-consent searches following stops.” This proved unwarranted: “Of all people searched without consent, Black and Hispanic people had the lowest ‘hit rates’ (i.e., the lowest rate of contraband recovered).”

Holding up traffic, rioting, looting, burning things including cop cars, and assaulting cops or worse (just look around on Youtube for news stories or footage of any of these things). They come across as thuggish and violent while they do discernible good.

Quote:

 

They fuel the tensions black people already have with the police with chants like "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon", and they reignite tensions between white and black people when they seek to exclude them from parties, or their members say something incredibly anti-white in protest or on twitter or what have you as they seem to do time and time again. Here's an example from a very prominent Black Lives Matter member, so you won't pester me for evidence or whatever. We all know it's out there and I can't be bothered to collate it all.

Quote:

 

White supremacists have been going around rioting, violently protesting and kidnapping people for being black and supposedly therefore voting for someone they hate more than the antifascists and Black Lives Matter people?

Quote:

 

Yes, we get it, you're talking historically. But, I thought you didn't play these "death-toll olympic" type games because you, quote: "just think it's a stupid way to classify things".

Quote:

 

No one's arguing the numbers. Just pointing out that you're condoning the actions and existence of one group that are currently behaving no worse than another, and neither have any moral right to exist.

One appeals to your leftist sensibilities while the other doesn't. Keep playing favourites, everyone else can see what you're doing.

Guess that makes 9/11 legitimate, then!

It is important to note that "alt-right terrorism" can include anything from bombing abortion clinics to murdering gay people in the streets. Since our discussion is focused on white supremacists, your statistics are skewed to begin with.

Quote:

 

At the end of the day, I'm not interested at all in playing the "who is worse" game with you. That's childish.

Quote:

 

Your very first post in the thread is blaming BLM for a white supremacist riot and immediately going into a full-on "well, both sides have problems..." while ignoring the very context of the incident, where it just a white supremacist plowing into a crowd.

Quote:

 

BLM blocks up roads, white supremacists run people down in their cars, stab them, and shoot them. Yeah, I can feel really safe saying the white supremacists are worse no matter how it's spun. I don't have to agree with BLM 100% to not just start comparing them to far bigger problems. BLM has problems, it's just that they're laughably inconsequential in the face of far right terrorism(which is inexorably tied itself to white supremacy. Hell, the slogan of the whole event was "unite the right")

Anyway, I think that stuff is stupid in general. It's a waste of time.
