Pretty sure if the dude was white, the trump supporters would have still attacked him.

Aren't you supposed to be black?

I'm pretty sure black people aren't allowed to post on Atlas.

Well then I'm in trouble!

Especially with the recent Moderator Brutality issues and all. I see my posts going missing left and right. Can't even imagine what it's like for you. Might be best to stick with The Good Place where you are appreciated.

Not surprised. His campaign is essentially white nationalism.

Look like Trump is taking a stance on BLM. 



He posted the image on twitter.

The blogosphere tracked down the origin of that graphic, and it turns out that it was made by a neo-Nazi:

That doesn't inherently mean it's statistically incorrect. Let's look at some numbers:

According to this page-- with the assumptions that all Hispanics are counted as white, anyone with an unknown ethnicity is not Hispanic, and ignoring other races which are relatively negligible-- in 2013:

White MurdererBlack MurdererHispanic Murderer
White Victim149132293
Black Victim113224576
Hispanic Victim4787439

% by victimWhite MurdererBlack MurdererHispanic Murderer
White Victim78.2%16.9%4.9%
Black Victim4.6%92.2%3.1%
Hispanic Victim8.2%15.2%76.6%

Unsurprisingly, most kill and are killed by people within their own race/ethnicity. This makes the penultimate stat in the infographic blatantly false; if you swap the numbers in lines 4 and 5, you actually get pretty close to the FBI's numbers. The final line is also quantitatively incorrect, but not qualitatively so. Adding in the police deaths is tricky as they weren't tracked in 2013, and I'm not sure what they're including in that or not.

tl;dr: The infographic overdramatizes the victimhood of whites from blacks; far more whites are killed by whites than by blacks. The rest of the numbers are somewhat more plausible.

What's funny about this is that the entire time the protestor was being escorted out, Trump was talking about how this was going to be all over the papers tomorrow and the media would make it seem like a big deal in lieu of talking about how enormous the rally was or whatever Trump would've preferred the stories say.  And guess what.

What an absurd title.

So some obnoxious protester got a little roughed up. Trying to make this into a racial issue and casting aspersions on the ordinary people inspired by Trump is a pretty transparent and pathetic ploy by the establishment.

Freedom of speech implies the reasonable right to not be beaten up after saying something offensive to another's sensibilities. That protester used his First Amendment rights, and no person has the right to take those rights away from him with a violent assault.

Whether one likes Black Lives Matter or not, one has the right to express the opinion that police are often excessively trigger-happy with black people at a time and place inconvenient to people with political campaigns.

The First Amendment makes all the subsequent Amendments meaningful.

Trump supporters should honestly be put on a watch list.

It seems that African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians will not vote for him. That means '-25%' of votes automatically. Cause app. 25% are African-Americans and Hispanics. In some states of so-called 'Black Belt' the population of African-Americans is high. For example, New Orleans has 60% of African-Americans.

This is so stupid.
Protestors getting roughed up is a consistent feature of Trump rallies.  Trump's giving his speech, an obnoxious protestor starts screaming at the top of his lungs and ruining it, people around him get pissed off and start pushing him around, and pretty quickly the venue's security comes and escorts him out while everyone cheers as Trump insults the protestor.  Happens every rally.
The media has waited until it happened to a black guy, though, so they could put the word "black" in the headline and make Trump and his supporters seem racist.  If they reported on this consistently it would be like
Trump applauds supporters who attacked white man at New York rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked white man at Ohio rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked hispanic man at Arizona rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked white man at Wisconsin rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked asian man at California rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked white man at Texas rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked white man at Virginia rally
Trump applauds supporters who attacked black man at Alabama rally

It's really frustrating to me that the media can't land an actual hit on Trump.  It's the same with Clinton.  So much real stuff there to bury them with, and the media chooses to make stuff up instead.
