First of all, whether you give a fuck or not it won’t resurrect the dead. But the difference between you and Son of Baldwin is that you represent the “Don’t Worry Be Happy”, “We Are The World”, “Let’s Hold Hands And Sing Kumbaya” mentality that reflects the status quo; a system of racist oppression that has existed for over 500 years since the European Invasion.

I can tell from your talking points that you have never sat on a college debate team, and so you have rendered yourself a sitting duck, and I will dispense with you very quickly.

You ask “ Where are black people when white people are killed 2x more by cops?” This question makes me wonder if you completed the 8th grade! A better question is” Where are WHITE people when white people are killed 2x more by cops?” You see, the truth is that racist white people only talk about “All Lives Matter” in an effort to silence black opposition to police brutality. But when their innocent and unarmed white brothers and sisters are murdered by miscreant cops, they really don’t give a damn unless they are personally affected. And I’ll bet you have never heard of Samantha Ramsey.

The lack of outrage in the white community over police brutality toward whites provides us with empirical evidence that the concept of “All Lives Matter” is only a strawman. White people mobilized with “Occupy Wall Street” to protest economic inequality. But white people have never united in a sustained effort to march and protest against the killing of innocent white people by the police. But in spite of this you expect blacks to march in protest for a white majority that has not stood up for blacks or whites on this particular issue. Until Black Lives Matter nobody was marching on behalf of any victims of police brutality, white or black. And so, the point you are making here is absurd and purely emotional.

With your second point you deliver yet another strawman. You say “ .. where are black people when white people are killed far more by black people then the other way around?” If Archie Bunker were alive today he would be proud of you! If you had ever studied anything other than the Eurocentric version of American history you would understand that people of color still have a lot of raping and killing, and stealing to do in order to catch up with the white man. Over 100 million of my Indigenous ancestors were murdered by the European Invaders. The biological weapon of smallpox was the primary method used to infect and kill millions in order to make way for the European settlers. You have posed this question based on looking through the narrow lens of a current statistic you have read based on a particular group of inner cities. Such statistics also ignore the fact that these inner cities only exist because of systemic racism and common practices such as redlining. Furthermore, much of the violence in the inner city is fueled by cops and other corrupt officials who are involved in drug trafficking, prostitution, and other illegal activities.

Now, when you mentioned race baiting for special privileges I had to laugh out loud! I suppose you feel that, as a person of color, being able to live without being killed by a cop is a special privilege, but I consider it a right.

Last but not least, you have accused a person of color of being a racist. This illustrates that you do not understand what racism truly is. Regardless of what watered down definition you may read in Websters, racism requires a systemic, institutionalized component in order to actually exist . A person of color may be bigoted, or xenophobic, but it is not possible for a member of a minority to be racist within a system of white supremacy ruled by a white majority.

And so, it appears you have no valid argument. Now, how do I feel about Justine Damond? If this event truly did happen, and is not a false flag, then I feel sorry for her and her family, and I do give a fuck. However, what Son of Baldwin said needed to be said, because he is telling you, and others like you, what time it is. And that is something you should all take very seriously.
