Yes. It is.

I bring it up because it's an issue I'm close to but you people think I only bring it up because it largely affects white people.

You're too busy assuming, just as you are now.
So what did dino get got for this time, something racist I presume?

Pointing to the various statistics of whatever form of crime or bad behavior can be useful, but the right (Democrat or Republican) almost always frames issues such as this in a racist or classist way. Courts and law enforcement are biased enough as they are, no specific policy targeting a specific group for some news-drenched perception of crime is going to work unless the goal is mass riots.

Nobody ever seems to want to talk about the causes of these things. It's too damn complex. Even if I accept the common right-wing argument that it's about a 'lack of fathers in the home' or whatever, what do we do about that, and how?
Well a good start might be to stop repeating blatant lies about reality, such as that courts and law enforcement are biased. They aren't. A cursory glance at stats easily confirms that. I mean think about what you're saying; racist courts would not have convicted Chauvin of 1st degree murder. They would have let him off with a slap on the wrist.

Trying to fight "systemic" issues doesn't work because libs will never be convinced that any systemic issue has actually gone away or been reduced. No matter how non-racist society becomes, if a white cop kills a black guy under questionable circumstances the automatic answer is always "racism", as if it can't just be that the cop sucks at his job. Cops kill lots of white people under shady circumstances too.

There are plenty of brilliant black academics and thinkers that young people (including white young people) could look up to, such as Glen Loury and Jon Mcworter and Coleman Hughes that would help a lot, but sadly these people are smeared as being "black white supremacists" or whatever insane thing.

Like how using the internet has created a system of everyone's brain rotting to mush.

We went form tv rotting our brain to 15 million 15 second clips erasing it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess this guy doesn’t actually want to fix any of the issues he gripes about, since he’s gonna pretend those issues don’t exist when they happen to benefit the plutocrats

I wonder if he gets tired of tying himself in knots to protect the Ben Shapiros
