tbh people who bring the tangentially-related abortion argument are just trying to gain cheap moral points in the argument

Oh, I have concerns for the black community. Mainly from those being shot up by each other in the inner cities. That's where most of the violence toward black people is coming from. The stats back that up. I know that's kind of above the left's head but it's actually true.

I see your black-on-black crime and raise you one white-on-white crime

Do white lives matter to you? Do you have any solutions for this scourge afflicting the white community?

I have a solution that you might not like that would handily solve all these issues regardless of race: won’t spoil the fun for you but it rhymes with gum patrol

Why would you bring up white lives when this conversation is about black lives? I'm talking about black lives. Stay on topic.

And yes, of course white lives matter to me. Why wouldn't they? But if I bring up white lives I get called a racist by you people on the left. Every time I say, "all lives matter" I'm called a racist and told I don't understand the reasoning behind the black lives matter movement. If you want, I can make a white lives matter meme and we'll see how well it's received by your people.

Now since we're talking about black lives, let's focus on them and talk about where the majority of black lives are being snuffed out and work on fixing the bigger problem.

Perhaps if you properly situated a statement like “white lives matter” or “all lives matter,” as I have done, rather than simply offering it as a way of shouting down discussion of “black lives matter,” as is typically done by conservatives, then you would encounter less opposition and calls of racism.

Now

It is proper to raise the striking similarities of white-on-white vs. black-on-black crime statistics in order to show that the latter is a racist trope, and apparently an excuse for white conservatives to feel justified in doing nothing to raise the social and economic standing of blacks.

But as a matter of fact, some of the social issues poor whites encounter (e.g. addiction, lack of access to job opportunities and education) are the same as the issues that poor blacks encounter. Some are different (e.g. police brutality seems to be more common against blacks).

How do we analyze these overlapping similarities and differences as we search for solutions?

Intersectionality. It’s the only way.

We can’t exclude any evidence as we search for solutions to social problems affecting any community.

No, it wouldn't.

"It is proper to raise the striking similarities of white-on-white vs. black-on-black crime statistics in order to show that the latter is a racist trope, and apparently an excuse for white conservatives to feel justified in doing nothing to raise the social and economic standing of blacks."

Actually, I have raised awareness of the biggest plight in the black community, black on black crime. The fact you ignore it as nothing more than some racist bullshit brought up by the right, is sad and disturbing. It's race baiting at the least and outright racist at its worst.

"But as a matter of fact, some of the social issues poor whites encounter (e.g. addiction, lack of access to job opportunities and education) are the same as the issues that poor blacks encounter. Some are different (e.g. police brutality seems to be more common against blacks)."

I was with you at the first part of that paragraph, but you lost me at the end. There is no real evidence that police target black people at a higher rate than whites. In fact, it's the other way around. And don't give me that bullshit argument that more whites are killed by cops than blacks because there's a lot more whites. The percentages don't show that.

"We can’t exclude any evidence as we search for solutions to social problems affecting any community."

Except again, this meme is about black lives and abortions within the black community, which is far higher than that in any other race. That's a fact you leftists like to hide for some reason. Maybe because you don't think there's anything wrong with killing the unborn. But good job in trying to flip the subject matter in a different direction. You got me for a moment. The ol' bait and switch.

Amazing: Several cogent paragraphs and not a single solution offered

The above meme summarizes your response in tl;dr form

Oh, I read the whole thing. If I don't read them it's only because it's a bunch of bullshit that won't change my viewpoint and doesn't really make any sense.

Like I said, you started switching the argument and it had nothing to do with the meme.

I have argued in the past about this and to no avail. This isn't the place to argue about other things that have nothing to do with abortions in the black community.

Thank you for circling all the way back to the very first meme I posted in response to you, and confirming its essential truth.

If you want to discuss literally nothing but "abortions in the black community," then here it goes:

Taking away reproductive freedom is not a solution to any problem affecting blacks. Children are incredibly expensive and time-consuming to raise. Having children too early, when not emotionally or financially prepared for them, is an easy pipeline to a life of poverty. Black women should be entrusted to make choices with their wombs just as we entrust women of all races to make the same difficult decisions. Your focus on unborn fetuses totally overlooks the actual rights of living, breathing black women. tl;dr: The only point that you wish to discuss is a distraction from the very beginning.

Hope this helps.
