”it's poor people that loot”
This always seems to be the defence despite is not being true. Poor white people evacuated and helped who they could. Poor black people waited to be helped, looted, murdered, and played victims.
It’s amazing that facts are now racist. We can’t identify a problem and try fix it. We just stand back and say “no that’s racist”.
- IshKebab 3y agoEven if that were true (it appears it is not [0]), do you not understand that there are dozens of non-genetic differences between black people and white people that could easily explain it? For example it's well known that black people are less likely to trust the authorities for very good reason. It's not racist to state the facts; it's racist to jump from the facts to "must be black genetics" with no evidence.
