I've heard it said that the consideration of everything white/light as something positive and everything black/dark to be something seen as negative is an example of unconcious bias eg white lie, white witch v blackmail, unlucky black cat etc.

In fact, colour prejudice even extends to cats, black cats are notoriously harder to rehome according to animal shelters!

And where was the violence in the Floyd case, nomadking? It all came from the police, who compressed his neck for a full 9 minutes. There is no excuse for that, they could have simply handcuffed him. I trust you actually saw the video footage?

It wouldn’t have happened to a pinkskin.

You can interpret the Bible however you like. It’s a good weapon that preachers can use against us and it’s an excellent excuse for people doing bad deeds.

I would be more convinced if you had a photo...
After the incident where an American cop was filmed beating up a black man back in the 1990's, she said "I don't like them, but I think that they should be fair with them".
