Maybe if the police brutality wasn't so overwhelmingly focused on the black community, the push back against it wouldn't be focused on colour eh?

S
Statistically which group engages in crime at a more violent, higher rate?
Don't the crime statistics in the states demonstrate that black lives being murdered is overwhelming/disproportionately by other black lives? I wonder what focus and energies are being placed by the black community to address that.
You are seriously trying to defend police officers being able to murder citizens and get away with it?
You would not be whining about BLM being racist if there was a greater than zero chance of ending up dead if you got pulled over for speeding, which is the reality for black people in the US.
blue eyes, straight hair, pick a visible trait and you tell me!
No just curious if there is reason to so much police brutality on one group
Are they more likely to be pulled over?
What BLM is bothered about is the continuing cases of police officers killing unarmed black people, and then being cleared of wrongdoing.
It's the being found not guilty of a crime which leads people in the black community to thing, do black lives not matter? If it's a black guy that ends up dead, then it's not murder?
I don't know, do your research. I don't pretend to know better about life as a black person in the US than black people living in the US.
I would hazard a guess that since there isn't a large visible "stop police brutality" movement, that the racial aspect BLM are concerned with isn't a figment of their imagination.

Yeah, because nobody ever manipulates anything to suit their own agendas. Ever. Nuh uh.
Good thing we've got all these white British nerds here to give us the real story about life as a black man in the USA.

Hey I watch YOUTUBE man and another white guy filmed some random black people saying they hate whites
Ergo all black people who support BLM are racist.

You are wrong to say that all "black" people in the USA are so extremely racist that they don't feel like all lives matter. That's about as extreme as racism gets. Some people are so racist that they think the lives of people not of the "right race" don't matter, but by no means all.
Most of the people killed by police in the USA are "white". It's just that fashionable racists don't care about those lives.

Well dur, 77% of Americans are white. Of course they are going to be the majority.
If you adjust for the size of the populations, Black people are being shot at a rate that's 2.5 times higher than whites

BY POLICE.
BY POLICE.
And exactly how does that justify being racist enough to completely ignore the majority of people killed by police in the USA and then pretending that it's overwhelmingly focused on the others?
It's like ignoring PCs because you regard them as so inferior that they don't matter and then saying that viruses are overwhelmingly focused on Macs.
