The stat doesn't say that there are six times as many black people in prison (they make up about 40 percent of the prison population) as there are white people in prison (also around 40 percent), but that the black population has six times as much of their population being sent to jail than the white population. Did you even research this or did you just disagree with it off the bat?





Of course, memes aren't always the best way to judge a politician. What's the whole context of what he's talking about? Does he tell you why it's relevant? What are his solutions?

I think without LiL to tell him how to think that Ki is becoming a Republican.

Is that a republican opinion? I don't think the percentage of blacks in prison are that much more than people like to stress on.

^I've done enough research. Don't forget that I'm of the opinion that this whole black lives matter movement is bs.

Do you have anything that supports your point or negates mine/Bernie's?

I thought it was a myth too but it turns out that black lives matter, as a movement, exists. Calling it bs is straight denialism.

Not really. Just seems that I'm finding anything that Bernie says lately is bs.

Denialism it is then.

Willful ignorance? Not a good look, Ki.

Did you see where the white cop who shot and killed an unarmed black man in Tulsa has been charged with manslaughter?

BLM is a good movement. It's unfortunate that so many people getting behind it are using for their own indignant self serving purposes.

This is enough reason for me to believe that it's full of bs. Yes, to answer your previous question. But, regardless of the race of the victim, it would've been manslaughter.

I've seen people not of color talk about black lives matter like it in any way relates to them.

And don't even get me started on blue lives matter.

It's a damn shame that you're not allowing yourself to use good reasons, Ki. It's like hating the rest of prog because of Genesis.
