[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1034311, member: 82670"] Tbh, I think a lot of African Americans are very sceptical about any kind of information that comes directly from the police as they have shown time and time again that they lie and falsify reports to their own ends. In this case maybe he did have a broken brake light, maybe he didn’t. I reckon the chances of them letting a white person go with a broken light is higher than that of a black person I don’t think even you most hardcore BLM activist would discredit class as an important factor it clearly is but that doesn’t mean to say race isn’t either. The ultimate question is why do black people find themselves more likely to be in poverty compared to white people. Why are people with black sounding surnames less likely to get a call back for an interview. Why are black people disproportionately locked yo compared to other working class white peoples for same crime? I think you’d have more of a case if you were talking UK but American history, and it’s institutions, are literally founded on racism and slavery and it’s so recent that of course it’s important.
