Actually he is saying that there must be something intrinsically 'different' in black people compared to other races that results in "blacks are 13% of the population and half of all homicide victims—90% of whom are killed by other blacks.”
Funny enough, in the same post he claims he doesn't notice racism in his own surroundings.
-I did not say racism does not exists in America. Please name a country free of racism. This thread is about how racism is exaggerated and used so often when an event like the shooting of a young lack man in Ferguson, Missouri occurs.
-It is a terrible that Michael Brown was killed. I can't even imagine how sad his family must be. His death is something that could have been avoided.
-If the deadly force used by the officer was uncalled for, he or she (white or black) should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
-I don't know what happened. I don't know the details.
-This rush to judgment without knowing the facts is wrong.
-I realize there are "bad cops' out there. There are some rouge people everywhere.
-The coffee house I operated in the 90s in my town was located not far from the police station. One Saturday night before midnight I parked my truck by the side entrance by a door to load up the trash. It was a one hour parking zone.
-About thirty minutes later I was called outside. A police officer quickly got in my face tell me I was over parked and he was writing a ticket. When I started to explain his demeanor quickly escalated and it was like he was daring me to move or say anything else. He was trying to get me into an altercation. His charge that my truck had been parked for hours was wrong and I really felt like pushing back. I backed off, took the ticket and moved my truck.
And I guess I am funny, I just don't see this rampant racism in my interactions with people day to day.
When it is exposed and it cause suffering, it should be stamped out.
I just believe it is time we judge people by their character (actions) and
stop putting select groups of people into categories where actions cannot be judged because of skin color.
