No straw man. A double standard.
- mhh__ 6y agoWhich I didn't mention. You raised I point that I didn't comment on even tangentially and argued against that instead.
- jachee 6y agoDouble standard? How many white men were strangled to death on camera, pleading "I can't breathe!"?[0] How many white women were murdered in their bedrooms after their apartment was stormed on a dubious-at-best, no-knock warrant? [1] Now, how many violent, white insurrectionists are getting slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanors for breaching our nation's sanctum sanctorum? [2][3][4] Yeah, there's a double standard. It's white supremacy.

- kelnos 6y agoHow's this for a double standard: a group of mostly-white "protestors" can storm the US federal government with minimal opposition from law enforcement, resulting in essentially one death. Meanwhile, black men and women live with an entirely reasonable fear that any interaction with law enforcement, no matter how benign the circumstances might be, could easily end in their death.
