They are trying to distract us. Don’t fall for it.
Declaring war on racism is a bad thing?
Yes. If they decide to.
Yes.
…
Of course they are.
The people “falling for it” aren’t who you think they are.
Statististically speaking whites have more to fear from blacks than vice versa.
It is?
We should tolerate racism?
Why?
The 2019 numbers show about 5000 white victims of homicide and about 5600 black victims of homicide.

(This is for arrests, so it shows confirmable cases, 2019.)
The FBI figures show that thIs trend holds for 2016 as well, although the totals are lower in each category by about a thousand:

Here’s where your claim runs up against reality and dies its deserved death:

Since most murders are intraracial, and since the slight variation in totals is a patterned trend, it’s very clear that you are just…in error, whatever other axe it is you think you have to grind down to a nub with no utility to anyone.

When everything you don’t like is labeled racist? Of course it is.

Nope.
very much true
Government “wars” on anything just create more bureaucracy.
I actually disagree that the government war on poverty was a failure. It just wasn’t as big of a success as people thought it would be ideally.
It created a ton of bureaucracy though.

If you lump any and all incidents involving white people you can make the data say anything you want. That’s what political spin is all about.
I don’t disagree with that.
I was asking on general principle whether it was bad to declare war on racism.
I can tell you we are seeing a reaction in reverse that is guaranteed to create more costs and burdens on ordinary people and businesses.
These rash of laws to “ban critical race theory” for example.
When you see how these laws are written, in the vague way such laws usually are written, they are going to have a ■■■■■■■■ of unintended consequences.

Yeah i was about Edit to add that i am slow and didn’t realize you never mentioned government.
Kill all white people!
It’s telling that you go there.
Who said that?
Where is that happening?
I did edit my post because I pointed to an example of reactive use of government that’s going to cause the same types of problems.
