    I have no idea what you are saying here. Before I make an assumption, could you please clarify?

    How and why did the Miss America pageant start letting black women compete? Was it before or after Miss Black America started?

    When BET started, how many black television roles were there? How much of the production crew were non white?

    There are federally recognized Irish, German, Italian, and Polish History months.

    Not everything is about race. When race is a defintive, defining factor of an event and it is dicounted and ignored it gives license to apply race where it does not belong.

    It is difficult to seperate out race due to our long history of discrimination based on skin color.

    When black students sued for and won the ability to be allowed to apply for spaces in the building trades training program, the unions abruptly stopped participating in the program. Was that decision race based or not?

    When facing a discrimination lawsuit, the pipefitters union decided to move its training center. The City of Chicago offered to build them a new facility if they stayed, the union declined. The State of Illinois offered to pay 50% of the building costs if the union selected either of two sites that were accessible by public transit. The union declined. Why did they decline?

    You really think it was the vehicle don't you. At first I thought you were trolling just a little to spark healthy debate but now I realize you believe what you say.

    I have seen discrimination directed at every ethnic group including whites. Others here have stated the same. You discount them. If you study this with a preconceived narrative you'd come out sounding like you do. I have met well educated simpletons before and I hope this is not the case with you.

    I got racially profiled once when I was in my 20’s. I took a coworker and husband of a highschool friend home one night around 10pm after a long late night of inventory where we worked. They only had one car and lived on a sketchy street so wife had the car. A few white families but mainly hispanic. Unmarked car saw me pull up to a driveway behind them to drop him off at his house. I roll and pass them. After the stop sign and onto a main drive they light me up. One white cop and one hispanic cop. They both tell me the only reason for a white guy to go into that street at night is to buy drugs and that is why they stopped me. If I wasn’t white I woulda blended in as a law abiding citizen of the street?

    Its all because the white man brings the black man down right?

    Here's what gets me about the situation. Just like several other recent similar situations.

    Minneapolis, St Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, LA, etc. Where these similar situations seem to be happening time after time after time,

    The mayor's are usually ultra liberal and many times even a minority, many times black. The majority of the population in almost all of these areas are black, or other minority groups, they elected everyone making all of these cities decisions to include the Sheriff, the DA, etc. for decades.

    Decades.

    Why haven't they ever decided to change the policy of how their police force operates? Why haven't they trained them that kneeling or standing on a suspects neck is the wrong way to do business? Because if they had then the other cops would have stopped it but this is obviously standard operating procedure in ultra liberal cities around the country and it's a conscious decision for it to be exactly this way by those who now proclaim to be sharing everyone's feelings of wanting justice.

    Are they oblivious to the fact that the actual government of these locations have made these situations happen? Donald Trump has 0% to do with your city and it's policies in making arrests. But watch the news and it's like the ####ing twilight zone.

    You got that half right.
    Where I grew up it was middle class white, super rich white, poor mixed. The cops never messed with the super rich, because they all had six figure lawyers on speed dial. They could down a fifth of Black Label at the golf course, hop in the Porsche and do 70 in a 45, mostly on the road. When the cop pulls him over and takes him downtown for a breathalyzer, his leather loafer buddy is there at the station house with an injunction.

    After a while cops just didn't bother. So they harass anyone who's car was older than a 3 year lease. Could be worse though, I know for a fact the next town over routinely pulled people over for DWB. (Driving while Brown/Black)
