    Be careful with the percentage BS.
    Percentage of crimes committed?
    Percentage of welfare?
    Percentage of abortions?
    Percentage of fatherless homes?
    Percentage of illiterate?
    Percentage of drug abuse?

    I and most of my family are of a mixed ethnic background. I don't believe that one's race is the sole defining attribute that defines your character. It influences yes, but defines no.
    What culture you choose to participate in does. And that is a choice. If you celebrate the worst a culture has to offer and then wonder why the people who choose that culture are failing you are blind to reality.

    The victim mentality keeps people victims. Not some faceless oppressor.

    The truth is is that your friends and loved ones care about you. Your enemies wish you harm. The rest of the world doesn't care about you and doesn't even know you exist. If you weren't born or if you die today it wouldn't make the slightest difference to all but a insignificant few.

    I say this not to be mean but to point out that so many people live their lives concerned about what others think of them when in reality those other people do not care.

    So what? You think all whites have a chip on their shoulder? Does this also mean all blacks hate whites. No. Not all whites have a chip on their shoulder. Not all blacks are bad. Not all whites are good. Good and bad. We are all human. That is it.

    There will always be a black person who thinks they are a victim and there will always be a white person. Not to say everyone thinks that way. You can't completely eradicate something. People's minds, opinions, and traumas. But also, how are the black folk making it any easier on themselves? They want this race BS to end and so does a lot of other people. Why can't we all just get along? But when all we hear on the news and media who have their BS agendas and saying black this, black that black black black. Whites are racist. The neonazi blah blah blah BS and we keep getting reminded of it and we are just supposed to be all fine and dandy with it and not have any anger toward all this or your liberal views?

    Explain this then...
    Police shootings: rate by ethnicity U.S. 2022 | Statista

    If the chart is too confusing for you black people are shot and killed by cops at a rate of 39 per million, while whits are shot and killed at a rate of 16 per million.
    Sure in absolute numbers you may be correct, but that's lying by statistics to make yourself feel better.

    Nobody cares about raw numbers. It's all about the rate.
    Raw numbers means nothing when one race is 5x the population of another. But somehow only gets killed by cops 2x the time.
    If you don't see that as a problem, that's your lack of comprehension, it's not a lack of there being a problem.

    Guys. This is not about race. It's about values. When one household teaches respect the police and the other teaches to hate/fear the police. You end up with the second group having more fatalities from police.

    It's also economics. If one group is worse off financially than another. There will be more resorting to criminal action. Causing more encounters with police.

    The difference between living/dying from a police encounter. Is 100% based on the actions of the individual. Those that are respectful live.

    You’re new to all this aren’t you? Just started paying attention? Making notes along the way. You’ve got a long way to go. Look inside of you, that’s where you’ll find the only problems you can solve. It’s much easier to look outside yourself and reinforce your opinions. That’s what most do, it’s much more comfortable. That’s why the problems still exist. They get taught, and reinforced over and over. I’m not trying to change anyone’s opinions. I’m not that Naive. Everyone’s responsible for their own beliefs and actions. If your beliefs are based on others actions, I’d say your beliefs aren’t yours at all. They’re a reaction to others actions. Everyone’s reacting instead of being pro active. Nothing gets solved. Only reinforced.

    And yet there are plenty of proof this is false. For example George Floyd among others.
    Or are you going with the BS story of resisting arrest that was proven to be a lie?
