Are you saying my talking point is right wing? Because I see it the opposite way. I see that sweeping victims under the rug that right wing people can associate and potentially empathize with makes it a partisan issue when instead we should all be united against police brutality and unjust murders of all our peoples. It could be any of us, at any moment, without any consequence for them.

Making police out to be an Anti-Black figure is in itself a conservative political philosophy that too many right-wingers would support.

That guy just wants to take turns around the little children's table of murdered-people's-recognition and say that one ethnicity deserves more sympathy than another. Apparently, he's saying that one particular group deserves more time with the microphone than another.

In reality, it's all of us who are being murdered and race is just a distraction. The race battle is alive and well even among all of us who are on the same side, which is ridiculous.

That's them winning, because every ounce of effort we blow arguing who deserves more sympathy today is an ounce of effort not directed toward the police.

Besides, it's not even race; its economic class that matters. Who has any numbers documenting rich people who were shot with pencils in their hands because they looked like guns?

It doesn't exist.

Yes, I would agree. But this is lemmy. And I hope I'm wrong about people's reaction here. I'm speaking for people who I do not support, and who's ideas don't make logical sense to me, so i will shut up now and let those people make their questionable points instead.
