Black Lives Matter protesters storm Macy's NYC store

And you're still twisting yourself in knots trying to paint some purpose or thoughtful meaning into these deranged pretenders.

The whole thing has been an abject lie since "hands up", but they don't care. Cameras be rolling, so they be marching.

Make believe prejudice to avoid looking in the mirror of reality.

Blacks and whites have about the same number of people that use drugs, but blacks are arrested and convicted at a much higher percentage. Isn't that prejudice?

That black officers aren't out shooting innocent people in droves. It's concocted, made-up BS.

Michael Brown deserved to get shot, and the world is better off because of it. It started there, and grew into this massive movement based on lies. The media feeds it, so they walk into college libraries and scream obscenities at white students and disrupt business at Macy's. And nobody does a thing. In fact, they're PRAISED for it.

I don't associate with or care about losers on drugs, and I don't even know if that's true. So whatever.

It's true.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/30/white-people-are-more-likely-to-deal-drugs-but-black-people-are-more-likely-to-get-arrested-for-it/

Even more surprising is what gets left out of the chart: Blacks are far more likely to be arrested for selling or possessing drugs than whites, even though whites use drugs at the same rate. And whites are actually more likely to sell drugs:

Whites were about 45 percent more likely than blacks to sell drugs in 1980, according to an analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth by economist Robert Fairlie. This was consistent with a 1989 survey of youth in Boston. My own analysis of data from the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that 6.6 percent of white adolescents and young adults (aged 12 to 25) sold drugs, compared to just 5.0 percent of blacks (a 32 percent difference).

You attribute that to police targeting blacks?

How do you make that connection?

Huh?

I make that connection because the numbers support it. How do you not?

Each case has to be taken on its own merits.

Are blacks in the street more than whites?

Do they have more contact with police?

I am sure there are many reasons other than skin color that can account for why they are arrested more.

You are of the opinion that if a group of drug traffickers were caught and 5 were black and 5 were white, then the police would let the whites go and convict the blacks?

Well, there's a solid counterargument.

Well, obviously this article from June about something totally different means that those evil BLMers shoplifted and vandalized Macy's!

And nowhere did I claim they did. If you read the post you'd see what was posted concerning their attitudes and intelligence. Why not read the written word rather than guessing at what it says?

We're discussing this incident. Your link was irrelevant and I treated it as such.
 
Grant said:
In fact it was quite relevant, given that the topic concerns Black Lives Matter.

How is it relevant to whether there was shoplifting and vandalism at this particular incident, which is what I replied to? PROTIP: It's not.

You didn't notice the vandalism in that link??? The thread does not only concern itself with shoplifting.

In which link? Yours, the one that has nothing to do with this particular incident? Stop posting irrelevant crap and get on topic.

They're doing the job Soros paid them to do.
