    I’m exhausted. I propose a truce. We have all said our peace. Ironically, I bet if we all met at a bar we would all become good friends.

    I said that also on page 2 of this thread

    I still had some fight left in me back then.

    You can read it in the morning :*

    Just some quick stats
    Cop shootings in 2017:
    457 whites were killed by cops vs 223 blacks being killed by cops.

    2018:
    211 whites killed vs 102 blacks.

    Another stat, not all shootings by cops are by white cops.

    Another shooting stat, in the past 365 days there have been 411 black on black homicides in CHICAGO alone, just one city. Think about that, ONE CITY. More blacks have killed blacks in one US city in the past year vs country wide cops have in a year and a half.

    It’s a tragedy for both sides, but don’t for a second be fooled by how bias and manipulative mainstream media are. They’re pushing a certain agenda and fail strongly to bring all the stats into light.

    When adjusted for population:

    According to Fatal Encounters, the database created by former Reno News & Review editor and journalism instructor Burghart (which tracks all deaths resulting from interactions with police), a total of 1,388 people were killed by police in 2015, 318 (23%) of them black, and 560 (40%) of them white. So roughly 23 percent of those killed by any police interaction in 2015 were black and just over 40 percent were white. According to those statistics (adjusted for racial demographics), black people had a 2.7 higher likelihood of being killed by police than whites.

    The grim trend has carried over into 2016. Of the 1,034 people killed and tracked by Burghart’s Fatal Encounters database so far this year, 215 were black while 338 were white, **so thus far in 2016 black Americans have been three times more likely than white people to die in interactions with police. **

    @jay_kubzz this is a proper presentation of data. It’s okay you didn’t know any better. Ignorance is bliss, not a jab, just a relavent phrase. @jay_kubzz Did you take statistics ion college?

    No I haven’t taken statistics and never will as I’m in nursing school at the moment. There’s really no arguing with someone as close minded as yourself. You’re one of the many unfortunate brainwashed by mainstream media.

    On that note, at least we can all come together and support the dawgs.

    So I should be more open minded to racist rhetoric. I hope your statistics about black people don’t cause you to compromise their care. The subconscious is a powerful thing.

    Racist rhetoric? Those aren’t “my” statistics, they are real statistics. I don’t have a racist cell in my body. I just personally think sitting for the national anthem is so disrespectful for those who lay their life on the line for you and I. It’s ridiculous that everything has to be about race. Out of all the patients I’ve had the privelage to care for in clinical, I’ve had the best connection with 3 whom were all black males.

    If you specifically remember three black people, that just shows that you are not around that many. It’s like seeing a unicorn. Go to sleep my child, this is adults conversation. Your cultural exposure doesn’t give you the privilege to contribute at this moment. But, keep living life, hopefully you will get “cultured”. Have you ever left the country?

    No in the hospital setting where I’ve only had 10 patients so far I specifically remember all my patients. I’ve had 5 blacks, 4 whites and 1 Hispanic. Just the 3 that I had the best connection with have so happened to be black.

    I’m not sure why you’re trying so hard to paint me as a racist just because we have different opinions on standing for the flag.

    Never called you racist, you must have assumed that of yourself. I said you might need some cultural exposure. Go check all of the post where I addressed you. Got s link to that patient census? You lost my confidence when you put out those weak stats. Yet again you remember the race of all your patients that is a telling sign. Keep living life young man.

    Man, once again you are looking for racism in everything. Your passive-aggressive BS is childish. You are absolutely calling people racist...but not calling people racist. It’s weak and played-out.

    I thought we already talked about this in the offseason keep politics away during the season. I am a black man and Kapernick is my hero that doesn’t mean people who serve my country aren’t my hero’s.And to hear the opposite opinion really makes me feel a type of way.I come here to talk UGA football especially during the season.If I wanted to talk politics I would be on a CNN board.Please no more topics of this especially during the season of these debates.
