Well, let me tell you. There are a few flaws of reasoning in your statement.
- False dichotomy fallacy: The statement sets up a false either-or choice between supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and helping poor white people. In reality, both issues are important and can be addressed simultaneously.
- Misrepresentation of the Black Lives Matter movement: The statement misrepresents the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement by suggesting that it seeks to divide people by race and portray white people as privileged. In reality, the movement aims to highlight and address systemic racism and police brutality against Black people, without diminishing the struggles of other marginalized groups. (and no democrat supports violence, to be clear).
Your above argument is also flawed for two reasons:
- Misrepresentation of Democratic platform: The statement misrepresents the platform of the Democratic Party by suggesting that it is focused on race division. In reality, the party supports policies that aim to address systemic inequalities, including those related to race, and promote unity and inclusivity.
- Denial of systemic racism: The statement denies the existence of systemic racism and the impact it has on Black communities in America. This denial ignores the historical and ongoing discrimination faced by Black people in areas such as education, healthcare, housing, and the criminal justice system.
No, they were roughly the same.
Third stimulus check: comparing Trump and Biden’s stimulus packages
Now I would never make such an egregious blanket claim. But racism and systemic racism does exist.
Good, here you are agreeing on the concept of systemic racism. That didn't seem clear, above.
The problem is that America is an open society. We are famous for self reflection and publish our history honestly. That Putin (or enemies) can use historical documentation against us, might seem like a fault, but but to ban books and historical data or to whitewash our history just to please Putin and our enemies would be worse.
The flawed reasoning in the question lies in assuming that the popularity of the United States as a destination for immigrants and refugees is evidence that the country cannot be racist. This is a
false dichotomy, and it ignores the complex reasons why people choose to come to the United States.
The paragraph presented contains several flaws in reasoning:
- Ad hominem fallacy: The paragraph attacks George Floyd's character and criminal history, rather than addressing the issue of systemic racism. This is an ad hominem fallacy, which attempts to discredit the argument by attacking the person making it.
- False assertion: The paragraph makes a false assertion that there have only been around 4,200 lynchings in the history of the United States, and that the majority of these were of actual criminals. This is based on reported lynchings (NAACP reports about 4700) However, the number of lynchings in the United States is estimated to be much higher, and many of these lynchings were of innocent people who were targeted because of their race, but there is no real way to know as many were never reported or recorded.
But the most egregious and repugnant thing you wrote was '
the vast majority of these lynchings were of actual criminals'.
Lynchings are murder, period. Remember the adage, 'innocent until proven guilty in a court of law'? Blacks were a highly oppressed race in the south, and claims of 'they were criminal' is just not reliable.
Therefore whether they were guilty or not is not a claim you can actually make.
