Thanks for the effort.

The question isn't about why it's difficult to capture all the details, to not make any mistakes, to not tell the whole truth, about differing interpretations, about acting on something when not having all the facts, it's about when people lie, when they deliberately make a false statement

My answer to that was (and still is), that most are NOT deliberately making a false statement.

There are a few non-racists who are being "sensational", to meet their sales goals. There are a ton more racists who are lying through their teeth, to push an agenda.

Using Jacob Blake again as an example, using the instances I've seen where people are stating it was just a person getting into his car and police shot him for no reason, if you think what happened was an act of racism, was an act of police brutality, why do you need to lie about what happened? If it was a racist act of police brutality as you believe, why not say truthfully to the best of your knowledge what happened?

Most people ARE saying what happened to the best of their knowledge. Out of the minority that aren't, most are racists, the remaining are doing it unintentionally.

And I'll tell you why.

What does a non-racist gain by lying? Nothing. So why lie deliberately!! (Unless the non-racist is a compulsive liar, which is a whole new topic)

What does a racist gain by lying? Proof that the other race is indeed "bad" or "inferior". Proof to justify his or her racism! Validation. Confirmation.

The only ones deliberately lying are the racists because they have much to gain! The non-racists don't have skin in the lying game!
