If data shows violence is used a certain demographic way more often than any other demographic, then yes, it is racially related.
" Government officials, academic researchers and media outlets launched data-collection projects around that time to better understand the frequency of police violence and the risk factors that contribute to it. From these growing data sets come some disturbing findings. About 1,000 civilians are killed each year by law-enforcement officers in the United States. By one estimate, Black men are 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police during their lifetime."
"
Data from California show that police stopped and used force against Black people disproportionately, compared with other racial groups, in 2018"
âBased on information from more than two million 911 calls in two US cities, he concluded that white officers dispatched to Black neighbourhoods fired their guns five times as often as Black officers dispatched for similar calls to the same neighbourhoodsâ

Some people in this thread try so hard to downplay all that, and even have the audacity to say it doesnât even exist.
Itâs pointless talking to you, Giving up. You donât even address the points made to you, You just change the subject and shout racist to anyone that disagrees with anything you say at all.
GL in life being that paranoid and hating on people based on how they look and thinking everyone in the world is out to get you, I can guarantee you wonât have a good life thinking the way you do.
Btw stop assuming people are saying there is zero racism in the world, There is. Nobody in this thread claimed there isnât, The point is most people arenât, including most police officers. Anyone who thinks the police go out their way and plan attacks against black people are off their head.
I love it when companies openly endorse different political/social movements! Makes it very easy to see which companies I want to support and which ones I want to avoid. Gotta vote with the wallet.
Thatâs rich coming from people like you who continuously ignore statistics and misrepresent them. Gl in life being wilfully ignorant, whatever makes you sleep better at night.
Itâs even richer coming from a guy branding people who disagree with him with names that could have quite a serious impact on someoneâs life today. If it were up to me youâd be banned for it.
Yes, calling people out on their racially motivated and fabricated facts is banworthy material. Itâs always the same with you kind of people, always getting upset when you get called out on your thinly veiled racism. Have fun defending people who try so hard linking criminal behaviour to certain skin colours, nothing wrong with that. People like you just donât like it when you get called out for what you really are. No surprise either that you are silent about the people in this thread who are calling people fascists.
Using numbers to label people than complaining when you make others do it to beat you at your logic⌠Being bad isnât tied to skin colour. No matter what the skin colour it is. If you think it is, youâre the racist.
Blaming all white police officers for a few bad apples is fine for you? Being a bit of a hypocrit are we?
Nobody in this thread has said black people are criminals. honestly this guyâŚ
Itâs like you donât even read the posts, You donât get the point most people are making. Nobody should be judged on their skin colour, Youâre the one whoâs doing it.
âSo you want to judge white people on numbers but not when they are black? How about we judge people on their own character and stop grouping people together based on stupid colours?â
Actual ignored my post and then label me racist. I actually said before you to basicly stop pigeonholing races of people into one narrative. As I said on 5 different posts. itâs a case by case basis. This is the issue all of this is causing, Everyone is getting labeled. Everyone is unique based on their morales and personality, You seem to think everyone is a hivemind.
I honestly think if someone said they donât like to play rogue you would call them a racist because you do.
Yes it is. Itâs slander. You called him a white supremacist and nothing, absolutely nothing in his post alluded to anything related to the respective doctrine, but plenty in yours did. The attempt to slander him by assigning a term to his name that carry a lot of weight which could in fact cause a lot of drama for a person and you did that knowingly.
People like you do this often. You are a bad version of Don Quijote. You see a windmill and you donât think itâs spinning in the direction you want so you put a broken sign on it and hope people tear it down, then you go to your buddies and brag about how you fight dragons. Well it wasnât a dragon and sure as hell Zakkaru isnât a white supremacist.
You are an instigator and a slanderer looking for social points around here when people wanted to discuss their disapproval of Blizzard throwing their lot in with a terrorist organization who happens to have a slogan you canât disagree with.
speaking of ignorance, when will you get around to answering my question mr racist?
oh and for anyone who thinks police only attack black people or think this isnt about being an election year i urge you to look up tony timpa. he died the same way gorge floyd did and nobody cared because he was white and because people couldnt use it to prop up their political candidate.
the top quote is a racist remark, anything that uses race in any way to defend it self is racist no matter who does it.
at no point is anyone immune to be a racist when they pull in anything that has to do with skin color(unless it is about a skin disease that changes once skin color and it is about that disease but that is not what we are talking about just
point it out).
you are not a very good source for info so proof of said else we can only take what you say on the forum and form our own opinion and what you have shown so fare is racist.
and to prove a point, Iâm a millioner with houses all around the world and are good friends with many of the state heads around the world(not that it is true but it proves the point that anything you say you are is not a very good source, the way you act is).
racism is not oppression, it is diffiating because of âraceâ/skin color.
guess that goes your way to, anything said to you goes right over your head or you just willfully ignore it(dont know what is worse)
not sure how much blizzard employees made from home before co-vid but from how they talked about it not a lot, so the transition and the fact they canât see each other as easy could slow the development down and they might also loss the random sparing and ides they get at HQ compared to home and they might also have a harder time sharing the random ides, slowing the game development down some more.
so there are stuff that could slow down the Development and that would also slow down the release, but when that part is done then nothing stops the game from going live true.
there is a difference in saying they should not show their stance to saying the topic is controversial a big difference, try not placing words in other peoples mouth.
simple here in DK it matters not what skin color you have, if you dont have a danish or Scandinavian sounding name, you are in trouble no matter your skin color, changing that helps a lot, so saying it is just as a white you get privileges does not work many places other then US and if you want to know we had a lot of British thralls(the vikings word and use of slaves) and from most of Europe with a coast during the viking age, so a lot of white can also claim slavery heritage and moved from their home land by force, sorry to burst your bouble thou and if im not much mistaken being a slave to a viking community was a âlittleâ bit worse then during the US times simply by the fact we also sacrificed people to the gods at times.
then we have the romens also praticing slavery, so dont come and say black where the only slaves in history EVERY RACE HAS BEEN SLAVES FOR OTHER RACES, the only difference is that Europe got very good at conquering and exploring stuff so we did that as the last group of people to do it on a truly massive scale.
then add that most slaves from africa where not cough by white but by other black people then sold to the white for weapons and the like.
proof?
funny that approximately 13% of the population is black, so yes they do more crime and given that approximately 60% is white(none Hispanic or Latino), there might be a chase of more black doing crime then white when comparing population to crime ratio
it is a huge problem in US.
there are other problems in Europe, being black is not as much a problem as in being from a different nation or have a name that is from a different nation.
and funny people have said there is but that it is way bigger then black people or white people at least outside US.
now you are properly going to call me a white stupremise, a racist, a right wing or a combination of those.
All those â-istsâ and " -phobes" are such a meaningless terms nowadays. People throw slanders so carelessly all the time that these words are losing itâs meanings and nobody takes it seriously.
I even wonder if there actually are somewhere true white supremacists that arenât just basement dwellers because I havenât encountered one in my entire lifetime.
I shrug those absurd labels off because I know theyâre not true, half of my youtube subscriptions are distributed to channels run by black people.
However, the tactics of throwing slander to discredit opponent and make nobody listen to them was used by Stalin. âIf you want to ruin your oponenet, just call him a fascistâ.
But he went to a anti-racism protest in the 90s, so he gets to decide if youâre racist or not. Heâs immune to being called out for making the only stand out racist remark in the whole thread. He also gets to change the definition of racism and make it one sided.
He called me racist for posting offcial numbers of crime rates. He asked me to, Whatâs worse is it got flagged. Even though I said at the bottom of the post that I donât believe in judging people based on numbers, Everyone is their own unique person. It just shows you that people donât bother reading what you write, If you say anything against overblown or false claims you get labeled.
Every sentence gets twisted into something you didnât say, Even when you clearly write the opposit.
I Also like the fact he keeps bringing up slavery as an excuse for him to hide behind everything he says. Being Scottish My ancestors where enslaved by the Vikings and oppressed by the English. My nation also did itâs fair share of babaric things. Thatâs the past, Iâm sure nobody in this thread has took part in any slavery or agrees with it. Should German people have to wake up guilty because of something that happened in the 40s they had nothing to do with? no they shouldnât.
slavery doesnât count because they where the same skin colour?
there is museums of viking ships in Scandnavia , itâs history. Covering up the past or blaming people who arenât alive for it doesnât take away what happened to our ancestors.
I donât get how blaming white people who are alive for slavery isnât racism. How do we actually know whoâs ancestors took part anyway? Maybe our ancestors where one of the people who stopped to fight it? The logic is so stupid.
The reason I donât personally like the Black lives matter movement isnât because of them trying to stop racism, itâs the tactics used. Also I feel it marginalises racism to imply it only happens to black people. If they feel the racism is so bad why not stick up for Brown people too for example? Why not fight to stop all racism?
I mean look at the Finnish guy above. He told how heâs faced people descriminating against him in Sweden and he attacked him saying it doesnât matter because heâs not black pretty much, Itâs ok what happened to you because of Black slavery he got told. So Racism victims canât speak out unless they are from African decent? How does that work? and how is that not racist?
Unlike him I will stand up against any form of racism thatâs done in front of me If I see it. I donât cherry pick what race gets to or not.
Using his logic, If someone in your family commits a serious crime, Your whole family should be thrown in a cell with them, You should also feel guilty for the victims, How about people feel guilty about stuff they have done, Not people who just so happen to be the same skin colour as them. Judging people on skin tones is wrong no matter who itâs applied too.
Honestly? They can support Hitler for all I care, it doesnât bother me at all where the company spends their money, if the product is good, its good, if they do something really terrible, it will go under, so they need to keep their appearances. I donât support those city burners and donât really care, and I saw many videos about the subject from black people themselves, condemning the movement, and calling bs on the whole thing. Long story short, as long as they donât shove that political crap into the game Iâm fine.
Also the reason people are annoyed at Blizzard atm is because of what the OP mentioned. They choose not to get involved in political issues dealing with Hong Kong and I kind of understood why. I even got annoyed at the people going on and on about it like it was Blizzards job to say something.
However then Blizzard come out and do this. Which is kind of a slap in the face to their Hong Kong customers⌠Itâs obvious what they did, They didnât want to speak out against China because Wow would get cut off and they would lose millions of customers. However mentioning BLM = profit. So itâs clear where they stand.
They are only against oppression when it doesnât effect their profit margins. Thatâs what the point of this thread is about, not if racism exists. The people who think itâs about not wanting black people to be treated fairly donât get it.
I want police officers to be judged on their own actions. I want black people to be judged on their own actions. I want everyone to be judged on their own actions. Standing up against decrimination when you see it in front of you stops it. Playing the blame game doesnât.
Anyone who says racist attacks donât happen to white people watch?v=3ugoYxNPnZs type this into youtube url. Guess itâs ok then?
A black guy making the same points as I have been making, Guess heâs racist too?
I mean ⌠So what ? Itâs a PR thatâs still useful for some people.
Even if it doesnât cost much to Acti Blizz (fairly sure they can put it as tax return in some way, altho i donât think itâll work for the 1M paid by employees), it still serves a purpose beyond the PR.
So the more donations to trustworthy associations, the better imo.
yes its pointless virtue signaling, also if you look into where the money goes for BLM it goes to Actblue, who happen to be the biggest donator to the DMC and biden for president.
