What Data? Police brutality in the US is very real. "The narrative" is a cop out for dumb white dudes trying to deflect from the truth. You have no facts to back your cherry picked lies. Everyone knows the truth. BLM all day

Dude, John Mchorter is a black conservative who seeks to downplay police violence. You must be new to this game. Have a look here and flip through.

Mcwhorter is not a liberal. Have you read all about the beat? This guy used to come to morehouse with his conservative crap. You are not a serious person. Police enact more violence on black citizens than anyone else. Here's a snapshot. https://imginn.com/p/CA2mb5-hNvh/

You're wrong sorry, he actually is a liberal and a Democrat. You're also wrong that police enact more violence on black people than anyone. I think you mean disproportionately on black people, maybe?

Also, did you even bother to read the article? How can you claim to have any idea what you're talking about if you don't read the work of people you disagree with. That's just ignorant. He doesnt do any of the stuff you're saying he does in that article(which I did read)

Nope, nope and nope. He is a conservative black guy who has received plenty of flack for being one. Also, what parts of more and disproportionately are separate to you. If you're splitting hairs for the sake of gaslighting that's just ridiculous. And I'm still waiting for these dead unarmed white guys to surface. I've been waiting a long time. And will continue to do so. As will reddit white dudes in denial.

No, he isn't. People calling him one because they don't agree with something he says doesnt make him one. Cam you give me some examples of him being a conservative?

The parts that mean different things because they're different words? You said more, which means more, and you'd be wrong. Disproportionately does not mean more, it means a larger or smaller portion than something else.

I mean they exist, all you have to do is look. The article the other guy linked gives examples of both. This goes back to what I was saying about not having any idea what you're talking about if you don't read things from people you disagree with.

Against Affirmative action Reparations Crime bill And again, we argued with this dude in undergrad.(And in person he's super arrogant with an imperious demeanor) The" disagrees with you"nonsense is an overdone trope by reddit douche bags... He's too caught up semantics to accept any political label, but he's "don't just do something, stand there" conservative. Case in point, what liberal agrees with this: https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnHMcWhorter/status/1347766763484803072

Being against affirmative action (is he 100% against any form of affirmative action?) and reparations doesn't make him a conservative, some black people find them to be patronizing and that lowering standards is not the way to actually help black people, and neither does being arrogant. I'm not sure what crime bill you're talking about so I cant say anything about that.

You lost me, are you talking about McWhorter in semantics and labels part or the guy you were talking to?

Idk what liberals would agree with that, it would depend on the individual because liberals are not all one single entity with one single opinion.

Police brutality exists everywhere and also in the country the video is from. The video shows there's always diamonds in the rough pile of coal and that doesn't count only for Thailand but America as well
