Statistical asymmetry is unavoidable as most predominantly immigrant communities are also (very) poor, have high unemployment, have bad or at best brittle relations with surrounding communities and suffer high crime rates as a result of these factors. Emergency hotline deployments and subsequent policing are far, far more common than in any other community. Of course that means more arrests and killings will happen in immigrant neighbourhoods and involving immigrants. Relatively it will be much more compared to white populations.
If the UK fatality rate of black people is even 5 times as high as the average it would still be among the lowest overall rates on the planet. Of course perhaps cause for concern, but nonetheless pretty damn good.
I drew an equivalence based on your comment. The largest pegida demonstrations drew almost 30.000 people. Still didn't justify the cause. Anyway, as I stated, protest in people's own context and with their own grievances, fine. But to speak of police brutality when there barely is any, gtfo.
Oh and it was a train in belgium.
If you said any of this in the US you'd be labeled a racist. The problem is systemic racism and oppression. Those blacks in your statistics are poor because white people exploited them and marginalized them, not due to any of their own personal choices. Those cops need to understand that the reasons police get involved isn't to stop crime, it's to crack down on culture.
Your opinion as a straight white male can not encompass the experience of growing up in a patriarchal society as a marginalized and persecuted person of color. Instead of criticizing your ethnic minorities and saying they earn extra policing, you need to check your privilege.
I label anyone who complains about getting labeled a racist as racist. That's an admission of guilt if I ever saw one. Like complaining about people calling you a pedophile.
I am pretty even-handed when it comes to this race stuff. I can have Uzique, Ken, and GS vouch that I am not a #BLM person.
My wife is on the board of directors for the charity that runs an all-girls sleepaway camp. Over the past week her charity has been under attack by one former camper, who is black, and is now using social media to blast the camp for an experience that she says was racist and life altering almost twenty years ago. Now, this camp is mostly white girls, but it's as liberal as it gets. I joke that it's really a lesbian in training camp. Anyway, so this girl, with her twenty year old grudge has called out a person on the board over her racism. Fine. Her comment wasn't racist any way you spin it, but whatever.
[She was given a toy gun by a British camper as her secret santa present and broke down in tears over it. The woman she is accusing of racism asked her "are you crying because you are black and you think that is offensive?". So, a microaggression if anything.]
So, because of the moment, and because the people on the board are genuinely good people for the most part, they've been trying to relate to her and say how sorry they are etc. She's been taking every one of their comments, posting them on social media, and ripping them apart. She's now demanding a paid position on their board for her and two of her friends as a diversity member, because they need to be paid for their experience as black women in America.
This is extortion, and it's the logical extension of the politics uzi likes to parade around in. Reparations. Original sin. Wait til it happens to you and you are on the verge of having your life destroyed because you've empowered minorities with social nuclear weapons and they know they hold all the power.
