RE: Culture and Race are not the same thing: Could it be culture that is the cause for elevated police encounter fatalities rather than race? Is BLM aiming for the wrong causation?

in #racism8 years ago (edited)

Your argument is that cops aren't the ones that are to blame, but the culture of black people.

Nope. Never said that. If that is how you interpreted it then I don't speak your language. ;)

but the culture of black people.

Also that is pretty stupid. Not sorry.

Culture is a collection of behaviors and ideas. It can be practiced by any color. Black people have lots of different cultures. In fact they had very different cultures that are still around BEFORE this modern thug worship one arose.

Nice try though.

Nope I didn't. It isn't black culture. It is a culture. It started in black communities but MANY people not black also follow it. Culture is not something a race owns unless it involves racism.

I said that culture began in black cultures but I also very clearly say it IN THE ARTICLE ITSELF it is no longer just a culture of black people. This is clearly stated in the article. You are seeing what you want to see and selectively ignoring other factors.

Kind of like a fake news move there... let's edit here, take this, he said it started in a black community, let's just stop right there and attack. Read the damn thing, pause, think, then reply.

I see cops as a symptom. You are using a generalization fallacy there. I never said anywhere that cops were justified in their actions. I am trying to think about what could lead to it. Not all cops have that problem. There are also places in the country where these things don't happen the same.

Yet again, read the damn article, think instead of trying to fixate on defending the status quo idea.

Contribute to the thought process rather than attacking. Add something that adds to the hypothesis either by disproving it, or by adding other factors to measure.

Instead of simply grabbing onto little miscellaneous pieces of the article and trying to attack.
