I Want To Talk About Community

I've been wondering about this for awhile..
Why is there a Black history month, and not White history month.?
Why is there a Miss Black America, but the Miss America is for all races?
There are Black Food Festivals.
There are Scholarships just for the black.
And why is Presidents Day for all Presidents, but MLK has his own day, but wasn't a president? I realize he was a big part of Black history, but I don't think he should get his own Day.
Sorry if all this offends anyone, I'm just curious.

You have every right to query it and rightly so its true .Same as when a black person is mugged by anyone there is outrage .However you dont get protests and outrage when it happens to someone white .When all those young girls were being abused by asians where was the protest ?There wasnt any .All those poor cops that were injured or killed during the protest and an old guy an innocent civilian there was no outrage .
I will tell you why because those in power and ordinary civilians that were outraged by the violence and unrest would have had their homes attacked if they dare speak out .I have some figures here which the blacks dont want you to see so I will show you .Very few blacks are injured and killed by whites .They have a bad rep because it is nearly always black on black .[image deleted]These are the figures they dont want you to see because its got to be a white mans fault .

@Rhodesianman very interesting. Thanks for posting this. Maybe this should be on every news station. I'm really tired of hearing about BLM.

@Rhodesianman I don't understand those figures, do you have a link for their source?
"Blacks killed by Whites ~~ 2%" - 2% of what? Same for all the figures "Blacks killed by Police ~~ 1%" - Does this mean of all police killings only one percent of them are black or that police kill 1% of the black population each year or what?

@Dominus Thats over all the killings in the uk .What their saying is that overall blacks killed by whites is about 2 percent ,blacks killed by police is 1 percent these arnt the figures that most matter , the figure that most matters is the blacks killed by blacks is 97 percent .Black people are always screaming about being persecuted for the colour of their skin but figures disprove this as apart from about 3 percent black killings are black on black .What their trying to prove and say is , Its not persecution its fact . If you want to be treated as equals then stop acting like savages because by doing so you fuel the fire and feed white supremacist groups with all the ammunition they need to say look these people arnt equal they are still savages etc . Blacks are the cause of their own persecuation and this needs to change .Its blacks that have to stop this and the only way to do this is stop the silent wall .If you see crime being committed or know where criminals are hiding etc help the police take the scum off the streets .By staying silent remember you are making things worse .Do you want future generations to still be fighting persecution because you were to scared to speak out .

@Rhodesianman What I am asking is "whites killing blacks is about 2 percent" [b]Of What[/b]? Do those whites killing blacks include the white police officers? This is why I asked for the source because that graphic is too vague and contains nothing of value. Such as the fact it is in the UK as opposed to the US. If it is to be taken literally and to mean 2% of all who were killed then it would appear not a single black or single white person in the UK has been killed by a Latino, Indian, Asian, etc.. which seems entirely unlikely. Further more you cropped the top of that graphic for a reason and I wonder what else it showed?

@Dominus It didnt include figures for other races it was just to prove a point .The way B.L.M come across makes it sound like blacks seem to think their being picked on far more than others just because of their colour .In the uk this is not true at all it only seems it because in the cities especially where there is a large black population most of the crimes are committed by blacks on blacks , the only reason it is hardly heard about is because it cant be said its racially motivated .Its the same with most races but its only ever blacks getting arrested by white cops or blacks dieing in custody that makes the news , because the minute it happens its got to be about race .It cant be the fact their guilty of a crime resisted arrest and police were forced to use force to arrest them and it just so happened a white cop got over zelous and the guy died as a result .NO ITS GOT TO BE BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK . George Floyd was a perfect example "He committed a crime resisted arrest and an over zelous cop who might have been racist was a bit heavy handed and he died as a result .No where during the protests has anyone ever said hang on a minute he was a criminal who resisted arrest .Their all making him out to be pure as driven snow who was picked on for the colour of his skin which is bollocks .
