Double standards? white guy gets shot by black cop in a similar situation days apart

[Mudhammam]

You just conceded my point. So, thank you. In twenty years, after centuries of institutional racism, everything should have corrected itself? Twenty years. Listen to yourself. In what fantasy world do you live in? And the penal system, namely the so-called War on Drugs, still predominately targets minorities for "crimes" whites are equally likely to commit, while yet avoiding jail time, as current statistics demonstrate. The schools in many majority black communities remain in shambles and as Chuck pointed out already, the money in this country still primarily flows from the hands of white people to other white people.

It seems you do not understand the arguement.

I am not saying the feelings of superority and persecution have not gone away by soceity as a whole.

It doesn't sound like you even know what you're saying. But if you're trying to say that feelings of superiority and persecution still exist, then yeah, that's true, for concrete reasons including those I mentioned that continue to factor into people's sentiments.

I am saying the major division is no longer determined by the color of skin like it was 20 years ago, unless you are still poor.

It's better than it was 20 years ago but there are still companies owned by whites that would hire a white person with less qualifications over a black person more qualified if only because they have stereotypical views of blacks. I used to work for a white person that didn't hide that fact (and I don't live in the South).

And poor communities tend to be majority white, right? No, they don't.

Poor people still segergate themselves by skin color because they have no other way of hating each other.

It seems like nobody has more hate (for poor people apparently) than people who express themselves with statements like this.

Rich people may still look at each other with a sideway glance, but money is the great equalizer. I don't think their isn't a white affluent man alive who would not kiss a black butt if it meant more money.

As they say, ignorance is bliss... because not only does your statement not correspond with the actual world, it doesn't negate the racism that still our poisons our institutions--whether financial (what percentage of blacks work on Wall Street?), educational (what percentage of blacks receive the same quality of education?), the courts (what percentage of blacks receive the same justice?), etc.

So... No I did not conceed the arguement I simply added a variable you could not address.

A rather irrelevant variable I might add.
