@Locksmith @admin @lnxw37a2 LOL I'm sorry man, I'm a free thinker, I don't toe the political line just because Massa Democrat says so. It may be odd to see a black man defending the rights of whites, but that's just because I think their lives matter as much as the lives of black people like me. We should not be treated different or special because of our skin color.
But of course, that is counter-cultural and white supremacist talk. So be it. If striving to achieve #MLK's dream leads me to being painted as a white supremacist, I don't care. In fact, that might be a badge of honor.
P.S. I'm guessing you're being tongue in cheek, but still, this is something that I've been called which is why I'm addressing it in this way.
@lnxw37a2 What percantage of whites commit crimes over blacks? There could be a reason they interact more with black citizens than white citizens.
The issue with trying to use general population to make things seem worse than they actually are is that it's innacurate; cops have nothing to do with black people being a minority in this country. They can't choose that, they can only choose who they interact with.
And again, last year, 19 unarmed whites were killed by police, compared to 9 unarmed blacks. 9 is not 2.135 times more than 19. In fact, it flies in the face of the conclusion you're trying to fit your facts into, because cops interact more with black people than white people. If anything, it's disproportional against whites; cops interact with way more blacks but shoot and kill way more whites! Isn't that fascinating?
This is why it's important to focus on police training and not racism. The knee-jerk reaction society has to these situations is "muh racist, treat black people better, cops!" when the real issue is low standards and police unions that protect bad cops. Bust the unions and have higher training standards so that all citizens, not just black citizens, have a better chance at surviving, the cops are better at doing their jobs, and everyone is safer and the law continues to be upheld.

Why not?

How is this deceptive?
@essie @Ox @mikey It seemed like that based on your toot, that using those hashtags wouldn't be allowed on your instance:

Two good sources of Free Speech Instances, which will basically let you say anything you want:
https://fuckgab.com/
https://wowana.me/fediverse.xht
Imma assume you only case care #freespeech #Pleroma instances (however, any instance that claims it only bans "explicitly hate-based speech" like #QOTO might work for you too); here are my recommendations:
https://fedi.absturztau.be/main/friends
https://neckbeard.xyz/main/all
https://pl.smuglo.li/main/all
Although, some notes: the neckbeard community is kinda annoying, I block them every once in awhile because they love to tag me in hellthreads. Also, GNU/Smug has some loli porn, I think, so if you don't like loli porn and aren't very good at ignoring the local instance community you might wanna go elsewhere.
@alex That might be for the best tbh
@kino Because it was so good?
