Fargo Walk-on

When there is a black person shot the news often comes out saying a completely

innocent black person was shot and then slowly the other details come out and the person was often far from innocent. Do innocent black people get shot? I'm sure it happens. Do innocent black people get arrested? Yes. Does it happen nearly as often as the media would have us believe? I don't think so. Any of it happening is wrong but I think how often it happens is overstated.

Didn’t he get a big raise to go to Utah?

Things worked out for him after not being invited to VA with Bronco or being retained by Kalani.

Not till after Bronco decided he wouldn't make the jump to Virginia.

Okay, but the claim is that his son was handcuffed for being black.

It's called implicit bias, it is real and well documented in scientific journals

Ask yourself why it happens? It isn't just racism.

Then why?

Look at crime statistics, especially violent crime. It's pretty simple.

Are you saying blacks are more violent?

SwampyCoug

Look up the statistics. You don't need to ask me. It's easy to look up.

I'm asking you your opinion. I cannot look that up.

They commit more violent crime on average than whites and hispanics. Frankly it

It is not an easy thing to fix, that's for sure.

I agree. It's complex and not an easy fix. That's the problem.

Ironically, I feel like the BLM movement made me more racist or prejudiced.

The BLM movement WANTS you (and me, and everyone else) to be more racist. There
