If you had to do those things, are you some kind of racist who always had to watch what they said or did around certain people? I have many non-white and female friends, I act just as I would around anyone else. Even if they are a coworker, if you have to act a certain way around them just because of their ethnicity, you might be a little racist... just saying.

Today's racism and nationalism and religious violence and so forth are all hold-overs from the more primitive centers of our ape brains that said that YOUR tribe was okay, but OTHER tribes were not. That stuff doesn't just go away because we have high speed railroads and satellites now. We just have to be conscious of its existence and careful not to succumb to it. Many of us, however, do not put in the effort. |

If anyone saw the Colbert Report last night it really made me LOL. A black girl was on the show promoting her new book "The new Jim Crow". According to her whites are keeping the black community down by arresting more black people using/selling drugs then white people. So she is comparing horribly racist and discriminatory laws that were put in place to keep the black community down, to us arresting more black people who are breaking the law then white people breaking the law? Cause that's the same.
Even Colbert was buying her BS, This is too good.

If the police were to stop disproportionately targeting stop and searches at black people (the vast majority of whom have nothing found on them) and give them the same level of attention they give to white people then they would find that the ratio's of crime would drop for black people. The same goes if they gave white people the same level of attention they give to black people currently, the crime levels would rise significantly for white people. |

The US justice system is pretty broken, prosecutors only have the motivation to get convictions, not justice. Prosecutors also have absolute immunity, they can frame innocent people, hide evidence, etc and get away with no punishment. |

Go ahead, go down to a run-down part of town, find someone homeless, give them a $20, and they will tell you their life's story. Do it enough times and you'll be able to find all the common themes and patterns, which is mostly the shit conditions they are forced to live in. Also, not to get off-topic, but prisons are state-sponsored slavery. Rights are reduced to almost nothing, forced to work for the state for nothing or unreasonably low compensation (being allowed to stay in prison is NOT compensation), and is a massive money machine as a result. Now back on subject. Shooting someone below the waist, regardless of whether you hit an artery and kill them, is the way one can prove they didn't have intent to kill. Where was Trayvon Martin shot again? If there's a law that says you can protect yourself with guns, and you hear gunshots, does that mean its time to load a gun? If you see a big Caucasian with a gun who just shot a kid, would you be justified in lining up the sights and shooting the guy with the gun without investigating the situation? Why can cops shrug off the murder of a minor? Easily, no motivation to try to arrest the former magistrate judge's son, especially when he can just claim "Stand your ground" and get off without so much as a drug test. he could have been drunk and slammed the back of his head on something, but we'd have no idea.
