> Yes, I'm afraid it's true. The idea that every black person has lived in fear of the police their entire lives is not true at all. I have friends who disagree with this vehemently, and even you point out counterexamples. > if you wanted to you could invalidate everything I said because you can falsify it with one observation. Then you could believe that everything is okay and that it will be fixed soon. This is a non sequitur. Just because there are counter examples doesn't mean I think everything is okay or will be fixed soon, it simply means I don't think the blanket 100% statement is true or useful to assert in this discussion (or any discussion). Why do you think me disagreeing with 100% means I think it is 0% (or close to it)? Maybe I think it's 99%. Maybe I think it's 1%. Maybe I'm in the middle. I don't think it's 100% though. > I am honestly surprised you aren't aware of how widespread this problem is. Why do you think I'm unaware of problems? I didn't say or imply I was... > Why would it be logical to not fear the police ? Who said otherwise? Who are you arguing with? |
