Police draw guns on black teens and detain them - For the crime of being assaulted while black

Absolutely not. Going to answer?

If it is so important, explain your theory.

Fundamental attribution error on your part. It’s not a theory.

Do you know what you’re trying to do is called?

I was around in those days too. That was real racism.

Blatant, in your face racism was horrible.

It still exists, just not so obvious. Talk to a black person.

Or a white person living in a majority minority community.

@WuWei

It was institutional racism.

So, I should listen to a handful of older white men, about racism today, vs younger black and brown men that deal with racism daily? Is that what you want me to believe?

Polling says something else and this sample size greatly surpasses 25.

What percentage?

Propaganda?
These are real conversations, with real people.
100%

I am trying to have a conversation, but you keep asking gotcha questions, instead of simply discussing.

I’m brown as hell and I’ve honestly only experienced racism three times in my life. All three involved the families of white women I was dating at the time. One was simply harmless ignorance. The other two were much worse.

But that’s it. Outside of those three times, I’ve never had a personal run in with what I would call “racial animosity.”

@zantax

And yet, a large majority of black people, want the same or higher level of policing.

@Guilds

That, is not a point.

For you.

[Guvnah]

@Guilds

So, I should listen to a handful of older white men …

And you think we should listen to you?

Dude, you’re a lib.

Cool…what area are you in?

Maybe you’re the exception that proves the rule.

@Guvnah

Dude, you’re a lib.

And you are a con.

We are both humans, on the same planet.

We either keep crapping on each other, or find a way to get along.

That’s what it’s going to take.

The courts and laws, have been skewed to be more punitive to black Americans then white Americans for over a century. And in some cases, still are…maybe not as bad…but certainly not equal

Of course, it starts when one is a teen, and the black kid, gets busted and taken to jail, for doing something, while the white kid doing the same thing walks away with a warning.

There is ample evidence of this, if you are willing to look.

When I was a punk, many years ago…there were several occasions I could have easily went to juvenile hall…but every time, all I got was a hand slap or warning.

White privilege is real.

Part of the problem is people like yourself, who in their effort to feel virtuous, choose to ignore reality, which exacerbates the problem even more. The facts have been presented and your lame excuse has been noted. Here’s another fact; the absence of fathers in the home is the root of this evil we’re discussing. It makes you wonder how say…Chicago celebrates Father’s Day? Let’s have a look?

Now…come up with another lame excuse that can find some virtue in all of this.

[TheRedComet]

I actually live in Mississippi.

Now I will say that I’ve dealt with racial ignorance on more occasions. The simple, mostly harmless stuff. Misconceptions. But they were things that could be simply ignored.

But those two times I mentioned was the only time I have actually felt like the people hated me because of my race.

[zantax]

Far more than twice for me as a white kid in a predominately black neighborhood. I tend to agree with the rest of America, see earlier poll I linked. Today’s racists are predominately black people. Why? Because everyone else is taught over and over that racism is wrong while they are taught whites are out to get them and are holding them down. So it’s hardly a surprising little fact.
