There’s three 2024 flags up in my neighborhood. One house even has an American flag upside down on his flag pole and an “all lives matter” sign on their front door. I hate my neighbors.
Obviously all lives matter. No one said they didn't. However, data shows that relative to the percentage of the population they represent, the rate of black American deaths from police shootings is ~2.5-3x that of white Americans deaths. (Sources: 1, 2, Data: 1)
A lot of people are sharing a graph titled "murder of black and whites in the US, 2013" to show that there is only a small number of black Americans killed by white Americans, with the assumption that this extends to police shootings as well. This is misleading because the chart only counts deaths where the perpetrator was charged with 1st or 2nd degree murder after killing a black American. Police forces are almost never charged with homicide after killing a black American.
If after learning the above, you have reconsidered your stance and wish to show support for furthering equality in this and other areas, we encourage you to do so. However if you plan on attending any protests, please remember to stay safe, wear a face mask, and observe distancing protocols as much as you can. COVID-19 is still a very real threat, not only to you, but those you love and everyone around you as well!
Well I don't really have neighbors, but there's a guy like 6 minutes down the road from me that has an American flag, "Confederate" flag, dont tread on me and Trump flag all hanging from his driveway gate.
Makes me wanna go over there with my dab torch and burn em down. But then they'll say Antifa is here attacking people.
We have this GIGANTIC Trump sign that's been hanging outside of town ever since he was elected. Me and a bunch of friends graffiti'd it up but they still kept it hanging lol.
So many of my coworkers still idolize him :( they're also the same people who refuse to get vaccinated because they believe Biden is still tracking them with it or it's injecting another sickness that will take hold years down the road.
