================
Reasons why you people are arrested by the police officers because by statistics you are the most violent and law breakers. E.g. Chicago,kill more than 100/per week. And when arrested, you fight back instead of accepting your crimes. You attempt to take away the weapons of the officers, used it against the police, or kill the police and run away. I saw the Brooks arrest, and the one in Ferguson, Missouri. Almost all incidents, I saw the criminals fighting against the police even when they are caught committing crime. They all need to be arrested and be locked up, so we peaceful people can be safe.

I have, and I have agreed with it since I first heard it in the 60s, spoken by a great man. I have tried to abide by it, always.
I wish more people paid attention to it. But the simple truth is that I have seen it ignored far far more by blacks than by whites. No one should insist others follow wisdoms they themselves ignore.
Tell me, why is calling me a "cracker" or a white woman a "karen" any more racist than calling a black person the n-word? How is assuming all whites are racist any less racist than assuming things about minorities based on skin color? How does those actions adhere to Dr. King's dream?

Good morning, TexaCan! I hope you and your family are doing well.
To answer your question: Technically I have been discriminated against due to my diabetes because many people, including Doctors, assume that it is my fault through unhealthy eating. I have also seen this same assumption in articles and books about living with diabetes.
Having said that, though, I do not really feel discriminated against. It's just life, and life is mostly unfair. I was trying, in my poor clumsy way, to make the point that life is unfair, and blaming the unfairness on discrimination, or white privilege, or systematic racism, is an unhealthy and destructive attitude.
Don't misunderstand me. Racism definitely exists in individuals. But systematic racism? White privilege? Racism ingrained in our culture since the founding of our country? I seriously doubt it.
No matter what a persons race, they will be healthier and happier if they understand that unfairness in their lives is simply a fact of life, a challenge to be overcome, and stop blaming society for things they feel is wrong. Yes, stand up against racism and other injustices. Do it peacefully, do it proudly, and do it with firm determination. But don't destroy, don't issue threats and demands, do work for positive change.

Those Karens are showing the content of their characters by calling the cops on Black people for just existing. The cops have finally started to charge them for the frivolous 911 calls.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

It is human nature to notice, and even suspect, obvious strangers in our midst. A black man driving slowly through a predominately white neighborhood is going to be noticed. A white guy (me, for instance) cruising through a predominately minority area, will also be noticed. Likewise a blond in a room full of brunettes, or a collie in a kennel filled with pugs. You get the picture. I have been approached by individuals, and by police, when working in minority neighborhoods. I was polite, answered the questions, and that was the end of it. Was that profiling? Absolutely! Was it wrong or racist? It was NOT. Profiling is a survival reflex hardwired into all people, regardless of skin color. Calling 911 because they see someone out of place is exactly what we are supposed to do!!!! But the questionable individual should be treated with respect and the assumption of innocence. However, profiling can and has been abused, and such frivolous misuse of 911 calls should be penalized.
One more thing. You did not answer my questions at the end of my prior post regarding derogatory use of nicknames by blacks. However from your use of the word "Karen" above you show yourself, in fact, to be the racist.

Grilling in a park, sitting on a park bench, on the phone parked in front of your house, there are hundreds of ridiculous attacks.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

Walking down the street and attacked and/or killed by a minority person or gang. Sitting in your home and the door is kicked in resulting in robbery, rape, and sometimes murder. Stopping at a red light and having a gun pushed in your face and your car stolen. Picking something up at a convenience store only to be attacked by a group of blacks when you go outside. There are hundreds of these kind of attacks every week. That does NOT mean that blacks, or any other minority, is "systematically" attacking white people. Just as your example does not mean there is systematic racism in American culture.
There are dangerous and criminal people in all races. If you are looking for "proof" of which race produces a higher percentage of criminals, I suggest you look at the statistics.
I do not need to view them myself, because I know that evil intent is an individual choice. But then again, I'm not the racist. You are.

You are describing crimes, I was describing innocent behavior.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

You said "attacks". Now you are saying innocent behavior. Which is it?

straightUp Loc: California

Maybe you just need to get over it. It's not like I've never run into the same thing... When I took a job at a healthcare provider I made a counter offer and they refused, I had to take what they offered or leave it. So I took it. I was hired in the same day as two others. One of which was a Hispanic woman who was assigned to my shift. One day, the checks came in and I grabbed mine to deposit it. I looked and thought I got a raise. Then I looked again and saw I had opened her check.

She was making more money than me. I didn't want to tell her that I made less, but weeks later I mentioned my counter-offer and she said she did that too. The difference is they accepted her counter-offer. She herself suggested that it was probably because she was Hispanic AND a woman so that's two check-boxes for the EEO company.

So I worked my ass off and I did eventually get promoted - she did not.

So it's not like I'm oblivious to these things, but Jesus dude - get a grip. You lost one opportunity way back when you were 19 and now you want everyone to cry for you? You actually think our situations compare to what black people deal with repeatedly throughout their life?

Sorry pumpkin, I just can't see the parallel. Here, have a tissue.

Innocent behavior was being attacked.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

Oh? Attacked how?

With an attitude of arrogance like yours I can see why you weren't able to negotiate more money.

There is a line between judging someone by the color of their skin and their culture. You want to give someone a pass because of the color of their skin lil guy. Driving while black should never be a reason to pull someone over, it should also not be a reason not to. F@@k you if your little snowflake feelings got hurt.

straightUp Loc: California

You just don't seem to get it.

First of all, a black man isn't going to get away with crocodile tears like you did. A white man like me really isn't going to either, but I feel confident that the justice system will at least be fair to me, so I can relax. I've been there. I've told myself nothing bad is going to happen because I didn't do anything wrong. Obviously a black man can't feel the same way because there have been so many cases of black men being convicted of crimes they never committed that it's almost normal. So, I don't blame them for fighting back and my bet is that more times than not they were only panicking which may seem threatening to an officer and boom - it escalates.

You say that blacks are the most violent. Well here's a universal law for you. Throughout history and across the world violence is always highest among desperate people in the most impoverished sectors. Well, that's where we put the black people, isn't it? It has nothing to do with being black and everything to do with being desperate.

Black Americans are not the first people to be treated this way. The English used to treat the Irish this way and sure enough the Irish were always found in the ghettos and they were always the ones being arrested for violent crimes.

BTW, have another at the stats... I'm looking at the FBI site for nation-wide stats and I can see that most crimes are committed by white people, not black people...

There's a pattern in those stats where black people are more inclined to commit crimes for money such as robbery where white people are more inclined to commit crimes for other reasons such as rape or hate crime.

Here's one you'll like... "offenses against the family and children" (2017)
White : 46,926
Black : 20,106

Or how about this...? "Disorderly conduct" (2017)
White : 172,098
Black : 87,094

Here's another one... "Vandalism" (2017)
White : 99,818
Black : 40,861

You know why these patterns exist? Because you can't feed your family on vandalism or disorderly conduct or by hitting children. But you CAN feed your family on robbery.

And here it is.... "Robbery" (2017)
White : 32,128
Black : 40,024

Something tells me all this is will do is offend you. Well, that's not my intention, but I'm going to honest here... as an Anglo-Saxon myself, I am offended by other white people who make us look like a bunch of privileged, whiny-ass crybabies who jump up and down saying "me too, me too" everytime someone offers black people some recognition.
