    So is there ever a time to bring up race when the alleged victim isn't black?

    I mean, a group of black teens viciously beat a white teen on the school bus and the entire thing gets filmed - you guys argue it's not about race.

    An Asian man gets harassed and pulled from his car before being beaten in front of his wife, child and two undercover cops - you guys argue it's not about race.

    We got a movement here that can't go two days without a racist tweet and yall still here defending that it's being misunderstood and that its critics are the racist ones.

    or if a white guy slashes a black woman.

    That's not what the whole thing is about. It's not about civilian on civilian crime - it's about systematic racism - in this case namely the justice system is inherently biased against blacks.

    People try to reduce it to one incident or the fact that it's a white cop vs. a black man. It's not about that - it's that the police inherently handle things differently if the suspect is black.

    When there are complaints about whites being racist towards blacks, folks such as you, and others on the board will start talking about black violent crime, black violent victimization culture, if only black people would work harder and not complain, it would all go away.

    Well now is a chance for you to lead by example. Maybe if white people weren't racist against blacks, and didn't complain about things being too PC when they get called on their racism there wouldn't be so much trouble for the whites. Why are whites always crying and whining about victims? They moan and whine because black people get to use the N word, but white people don't get to use it.

    So how about you, honey bear, texxxie, and treeman just stop the complaining, whining, possible racist behavior, treating blacks differently then white, and just work hard in the system. Then you won't have any of these problems that we see.

    Some probably just get tired of the ignorant hypocrisy of the whole thing. One racist group constantly whining about perceived racism and blaming it for all of their largely self created problems....it gets fairly annoying at some point. Some choose to point out the hypocrisy and show that there are MUCH bigger issues to be concerned about and everyone goes nuts.

    Seriously though, how are people supposed to react to riots happening every time a criminal who happens to be black gets shot by a cop who happens to be white when the criminal attacks the cop?

    When every white on black crime is investigated as hate crime while the reverse isn't, yea, there is definitely a bias in the system and the media.

    Again folks should just be consistent. How do you expect minorities to act when there is a police department with document prejudice in how they execute the law that has gone on for years and hasn't been corrected.

    You want those people to not complain or "whine" even though there is documented evidence of prejudice against them. So how about you not complain and whine when a few n'er-do-wells, start causing problems during the protests and turn them into riots.

    Or you can be fine with complaining against the racism, and everyone else can be fine with you whining about the complaining.

    Either way it's consistent. But what we've seen is people complaining like only their complaints are valid and other complaints are just people playing the victim and whining.

    How about you stop putting all "minorities" in the same group when every article posted here is about one group and one group only.

    I think this is a fair point. People like to lump all minorities together when it serves their particular purpose, whether than be to the left or the right.

    There are as larger, or larger cultural and societal gaps between different minority groups as there is between a particular minority group and the white majority.

    That's off topic, but fine I'll talk about the different minority groups that fit.

    We know that blacks have been discriminated against by the police department for many years in Ferguson. It has been researched and documented.

    We know that in general there is a discrepancy in how the justice system plays out between blacks and whites in the United States as a whole. We also know that there are other minority groups that also suffer but not to the same extent.

    None of that really changes the point.

    If you can quote me from those two incidents, that would be peachy.

    They're all about race. One claim doesn't invalidate the other.

    Those racist black kids were arrested and served time. There was an Asian Indian man beat up by a cop because he looked black and spoke no English.

    Do all police who exceed their authority and responsibility ever face jail time? False equivalency much?

    More pleas of false equivalence. This black guy may or may not be a part of BLM. Whether he does doesn't matter to you. What will happen is that he's most likely a sure bet on his way to prison. You can't say that with racist police. You have to record them in the act and avoid them noticing you're filming the crime taking place.

    That's why angry black man angry. With groups like blm, at the very least they're not claiming violence is the solution. Whatever misguided forms of activism you think they're doing is still political activism. I don't think they're promoting the right image or generating sympathy, but they're well within their rights with what they've done so far. The people getting butthurt are sensitive beyond reason

    The fact that they offend, inconvenience, or annoy you does not in any way invalidate their claims that the law enforcement system has a string negative bias against blacks and Latinos disregarding class, location, or relative wealth.

    That's simply your perception. You don't have any facts to back it up - you're just throwing that out there. If anything, this kind of statement reveals your own inherent biases.

    Let's not play this game Glendice. It's really easy to find any random person saying horrible things about any race on the internet...

    We kind of see you as an ignorant angry teenager bent on a freaky white racial agenda but yeah I'm guessing they don't really give a damn what you think, like they wanted or needed your approval to stand for the rights of their own. Get a clue dude.

    The one thing that is striking about all of this stuff is how people have come out of the woodwork with all the racist stuff that we thought was gone but has really just been hiding in the dark for 30 years. As soon as a black guy gets elected, the **** hits the fan and amusingly he gets the blame for it. I hear so much racist nonsense from my white neighbors, it's shocking but hilarious all at the same time.
