    Let's just see if it makes national news first, lol. Reel to reel coverage of a white mans death isn't part of the agenda.

    I don't know. Is there a documented history of cops mistreating white men in that area? Has there been a history of the Justice system working against white men over the course of our nation's history including today?

    Do white people with the same resumes as black men with a criminal record get passed over for the job in favor of the black men? Do people with white sounding names but better resumes not get called for job interviews?

    If there aren't the same daily struggles and history with the police against white men, then I doubt we'll see riots. But who knows?

    "he has both hands up"

    To be fair we only saw one arm up the other arm was blocked by a pole.

    Blah blah blah. Will there be shortage of blacks/other minorities in 50 years? No.
    Only white people's numbers will be dwindling down. No corollary evidence needed there.

    Surrounded and doesn't look like any of them were in any rush or direct danger. Looks very damaging.

    Good point. I don't know why, but I didn't even realize I could only see one arm.

    You fall right in with that stormfront crowd don't you?

    Believe that white people are 'dwindling' and that Jews run the media.

    He hit the nail on the head though, also there is a investigation already happening. Some of these incidents people were protesting JUST to get an investigation.

    I fall in to truths. Jews are enemy number 1 for all people. They incite this climate of hate. Divide and conquer.

    What is Israel's immigration policy?:rolleyes:

    It is a fact that white people will be bred out of existence if nothing changes. Would you like this?

    OP, please wake up. All lives matter, black, white and otherwise. Why do you feel the need to get online and post rebuttals to black folks dying. Yes, we get it, black and white folks both get screwed, ALL THE TIME. Take a huge step back and realize that you are contributing to the problem.

    Do white people commit crimes at the same rate as black people at low income levels?

    Pretty much:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States

    If you want to address violent crime by blacks, you have to address poverty. That's kinda obvious to me, but guess not to a lot of people who think it's cultural when it's not. That's kinda what being a racist is all about though

    Are you trying to excuse racism? What is this post?

    So an increase in the black population vs. a decrease in the white population excuses discriminatory practices by law enforcement and society in general? I'm not sure how future population changes relates to my post.

    It is not a fact that white people will be bred out of existence. The numbers of white people may decrease as far as their percentage of the population goes, but there is no danger that they will be bred out of existence.
