    Exactly what I'm talking about here. Your comments make you sound racist, even if you don't think so.

    You said earlier, "a black parson is twice as likely to kill some one white then a white person is killing some one black." The article about the killing of Bradford in Alabama is part of this problem where your comment reflects a stereotype that a Black man with a gun is a danger, and it can be argued that's a reason Bradford was shot.

    I can make judgements when I have been on the receiving end and have seen the racism they have committed. Smfh.

    So you are saying that black men and white men are treated the same when pulled over by cops, eventhough, history in this country shows that is a lie.

    statistics aren't racist they are just that statistics
    if you don't like what a statistic conveys the problem is with you not the statistic

    let me ask you this if you are out looking to buy a house and you find two identical houses both at the same price but one house statistics show is in a high crime neighborhood and the other statistics show is in a low crime neighborhood
    which house would you buy?

    Blacks in Chicago murder each other frequently and we never hear about it, but a guy with a scratch on his face gets national headlines and 2000+ posts in this forum because he's gay, black and MAGA.

    I have committed? you have no clue who I am but your confirmation bias assumes because I'm white I must be racist


    yes if both the black and white person treats the police with the same respect and not give an attitude then yes I believe the vast majority of times they are treated the same

    And we can make judgements when we've been called racists over nothing. Like I said earlier, Gucci makes a racist sweater, Addidas makes racist sneakers, Major League Baseball has been called racist because Latinos are making the pros more than blacks, etc. Do you know what's not racist? Not having proportionate numbers of whites in the NFL and NBA, but damn, what about that Rooney Rule? Do you remember when Bryant Gumble called the Winter Olympics racist?

    We're not talking about statistics, we're talking about language. You're basing comments on stereotypes and applying those stereotypical comments in a way that comes across as racist. The way you phrase, the language you use--it all screams racist. My first comment to you on this is that if you get called racist, that's why..

    You can get defensive and try to justify your stereotypes, but it doesn't change how you come across.

    Seriously...do you not see the irony in your comments? You say something that stinks of racism and you bristle when you get called racist.

    The problem is that White men and Black men don’t act the same when pulled over by the police. White families generally teach their children to be respectful of LEOs........whereas, Black families teach their children to be combative and non-compliant when dealing with police......

    But only when it is white on black, black on black is a hood problem, to not be cared about or to be taken seriously by anyone else, yes that's racist, but proffered by too many racist blacks, who don't give a rats fanny about black lives, but just supporting their racist narrative.

    …….and you don't care about it.

    So are you saying when something happens to a white celebrity it isn't a top news story.

    How do you know what black parents teach their families when it comes to the police, how many black families have you interacted with when it comes to the police? I teach my kids to respect LEOs when they are pulled over, hopefully it will keep them safe.

    You would like every murder to be on the front page of every newspaper?

    Some don't, otherwise they wouldn't have raised their kids to be the way they are.
