[quote] [R73], white people are still a big majority though. Black people, on the other hand, are a minority but commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. Asians are an even smaller minority who commit virtually no crime. Black people should focus more on holding other black people accountable. What other blacks do harm the black community far more than your average white supremacist.
1. Crimes committed and arrests + conviction are 2 very different things. Black people are more heavily policed and treated more harshly at every step of the criminal justice system. Many academic studies have been done, a great deal of data confirming this, has been collected.
2. Most people regardless of race are not criminals. An extremely large percentage of black criminal convictions are nonviolent drug offenses. Yet generally speaking black drug use is no greater than white use. Same goes for drug sells. Black people, because of how they are policed are more likely to be arrested and then more likely to be convicted.
3. Most crime is intra-racial. 80+ percent of white violent crime victims are victimized by whites.
4. White supremacy = the long and complicated legacies of slavery, Jim Crow segregation and all of the modern institutional racism that has followed and continues to this day, including within the criminal justice system. White supremacy produced that incredible wealth gap that currently exists. White supremacy continues to rob black people of opportunities, shutting many many people out of achieving the American Dream. The American Middle Class was built of socialistic programs that excluded black people.
Without holding each other accountable black people would not have been able to carve out the success that they continue to create, despite the institutional racism that continues to confront them. No crimes committed by black people are not "far more harmful" than the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow and modern day institutional racism.
5. Seventy percent of whites have NO black friends. Certainly most dataloungers don't have black friends. Outside of an absurd bogus mythology, most Americans know very little about American History. What make so many here believe that they are experts on black people. You don't know any. You know nothing about them or their history in this country. Yet you show up here to give these idiotic head in ass lectures.
6. Minus white supremacy, white and black communities face many of the same problems. Problems which are only attributed to race, when faced by black people.
7. White people rather burn this country to the ground, rather than support racial equality. And with the help of Trump and his party, that is exactly what whites are doing.
