Holy shit, looks like some people LIKE to get race-baited. They ACTIVELY look for reasons to be baited.
First off the demographics of NYC: 39% White, 23% Black, 27% Hispanic, 13% Asian.
Secondly, the demographics for the NY Police Force: There are MORE minority Police Officers (11,700) than there are white ones (10,500). There are almost as many minority Detectives (2,200) as there are white ones (2,900).
Lastly, do we have to remind everyone who the mayor of NYC is? Newsflash, it's this guy: https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2021/11/02/ap_21299839634856-15de819fbdc2d00eb39794e510225e27a5f60ec3-s1600-c85.webp
But with ALLLLL that, the first thing that people do is jump to the "It'S aLL RaCiSm!1!!!".
You people need to go outside more. You are talking about one of the most diverse cities in the country, with one of the smallest populations of white people, with a police department that is made up of a majority of minority groups and a black mayor. And with all that, you immediately jump to the bullshit that racism is at place.
You're so not racist that you circled around and became racist. Minorities can be racist. The mayor being a black man doesn't mean racism is dead you walnut. FFS has everyone forgotten NWA??
The minority officers are being racist against their own people. In your warped perception of the world that's clearly is what is happening here.
Holy shit folks... he's SO close to actually getting it but doesn't...
Holy shit, you will spin whatever you want to fit you narrative that everyone is RaCiSt!1!!! Because that is what simpletons do.
You can always tell who is right in a conversation because they always call their opponent names and type like SpongeBob
You can tell who has no point in a conversation when it always collapses down to a "durrrrrr he's rAcIsT" argument. Extra funny when the people that are called racist, are claimed to be racist against their own kind.
Why is it always the racists who claim racism doesn't exist?
Why is it always the stupid ones who come up with conspiracies that don't exist?
Brain dead morons have nothing else to do other than find ways to be offended.
You seem very emotional right now and it's not conducive to a good conversation. Good day to you.
