Koreans support Black Lives Matter
Interesting, I would like to see how long North East Asians can tolerate this nonsense that is spreading to their lands.
It's not nonsense and there's not much to "tolerate".
@naval You mean a humanitarian issue. When I said "there is not much to tolerate", I meant that people here are not as divisive on the issue of BLM as in the US. There is no particular reason why we should be opposed to BLM and negatively perceive BLM protests.
@sonsofodin Because BLM is a legitimate issue. I understand that racial discrimination is a basic human instinct but civilized people should try to overcome it, not indulge in it. Rachial discrimination is a serious matter, especially in the United States where it leads to loss of life due to common use of firearms.
I can't wait for black lives matter to grow in North-East Asia. I always wonder how Asians would handle this issue. Would the Asian open the immigration floodgates to African refugees because it seems like White people are just too oppressive.
Where are the Black Lives Matter voices in the middle east?
@jaenelle
Libyas slave trade should be sanctions by the United Nations. How are you supposed to do that? march in the middle east and get shot?
If those were Jewish people then the United Nations would step up. don't you see the people who hold power don't see equal value of life to different types of people.
Your wrong, UN is taking actions against the slave trade
I don't think they killed Floyd just cause he was black. I do not know the reason but it was unjustified to do so. Floyd was a scared man, if you seen the police bodycam Floyd was very nervous and uncooperative. He died in the hands from a sick man that was power hungry. I think during Floyds arrest, there was a half black man doing his part in subduing Floyd. Similar cases in killing people by the police has been around. Just like how the police killed uncooperative homeless person in New Mexico. He got shot for not listening to the police and being beligerant. There was a Chinese man getting shot at for being uncooperative for the cause of lack of understaning between the police and Chinese mans language. There has been many many deaths by the police and it was not all blacks who got killed. Whites, Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics been shot at by the police few times around. It is because the injustice for the black man to die, was publicized and used through propaganda and rumors shown through the social media. People just jump to conclusion that because a black man died from the police, it was racial from the start. I believe race has nothing to do with it at all.
this isn't just about George Floyd's death it's also the people before this incident. decades of the same injustices & non-action.
@naval If people would not give a reason for the police to pull out their gun on them, they should be cooperative and responsive to the police orders. In many cases where blacks had died from the police it was due to being uncooperative. I know that killing them because of that reason is unjustified, but the police see it as justified because they see that an uncooperative person could be danger to the police.
there is a difference between shooting a person in the leg as a warning shot versus shooting another human being on the back '' 7 times''
I just watch the full video and I just found out that George Floyd and Derek used to work in a bar with each other as a security I think.
there was also a video of George Floyd telling the cops to lay him down to the ground because he has a phobia against confined spaces.
@jaenelle I heard that too. A woman that was the ex owner of the bar/club realized Floyd and Derek Chauvin, and she was on the news telling about the coincidence. Derek worked outside of the club and Floyd worked inside. It is unknown that they knew each other somehow.
They know each other. it's a small business with no more than 50 staff members.
That is good conspiracy for a motivation .
They know each other from the testimony of the bar co-worker. the co-worker even describe that both of them did not get along with each other.
@jaenelle There it is. It should be a coincident that they met again in a different spot. Chauvin killing Floyd sounds like it was intentional after the testimony from the coworker.
the Urban community have known about police brutality for decades and now you are just waking up.
The police will act professional and talk racists things behind the scenes when they get home at dinner.
It might seems harmless to you but their prejudice will effect the use of power on regular civilians.
Let the court to decide because they have evidence that the public cannot see.
It's racial when police are so willing to shoot and think they have to rule over people's smallest behavior. Probably you haven't lived in other countries where the police don't have to be this aggressive at all. The anti-police sentiment isn't just something out of thin air.
The race problem in law enforcement is the police are not born from the communities they should protect, this happens even when they put blacks and minorities on the police force, because the organizational mentality is still as an outsider to the community.
BLM is going to go crazy about something about Xinjiang so I'll try to answer him before he goes off on me. Chinese police *leave the Uighurs* alone. They are literally autonomous in everyday things like policing. Even in ethnic Han areas, Uighurs who get caught for minor crimes get different treatment (less severe). This is something Chinese learned since the 1950's where different standards were established for minority areas.
