You know what - I don't care where anyone's coming from, what religion they have, if any, and what color of skin they have. I stick with judging individuals, based on their individual merits and behavior.

You're right, I don't praise any given group for belonging to any given group. You're absolutely right, because I don't give a shit. And you're also absolutely right that I didn't respond to your questions on Asians. Mostly so because they always crop up in threads where you ranted about black people. A feeble attempt at diverting attention from what your real agenda usually is.

And by the way, point me to any thread you opened to sing the praise of Asians. No, it's always in different topics where you went out of your way to degrade group A and compared them to the much better group B.

I also compared them to my own "group." Get with the programme. 
If I was to start a thread (now that I come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty good idea), it will be considered racist. Do you suffer from white guilt by any chance, did your parents suffer from white guilt, how about your grandparents? I don't since, we fucked up India, yet somehow Indians do not hold it against us, they don't have chips the length of Golden Gate bridge on their shoulders either.

I think I made myself pretty clear. I don't suffer from anything other than not thinking in groups but in individuals.

And that's all I will say about this obvious trolling attempt.

You simply have no answer is probably closer to the mark. You have been capable of responding to my posts and yet this is the only one you think where you think I have been trolling. You suffer from white guilt, yet I bet at the same time, you were probably brought up with a silver spoon in your mouth and you felt you needed a purpose in your life to make you feel better after the clearly obvious middle class upbringing you have had. A middle class person who tries to be supportive of the poorer class is simply a hypocrite. I bet you don't even give money to the homeless, yet you give to those who have a roof over their heads and don't make the efforts. And yes, I do give money to the homeless, regardless of their origins, colour or religion. There are times I will give them one of my food tickets so they can have a proper meal because these are your "poor classes." Those who are forgotten by society.

Hard numbers also show the actual numbers, you know. Hard numbers also allow comparisons to other countries. Such as Europe. German police (country of roughly 80 million people) shot and killed 501 people between 1952 and 2015. A total of 2492 shots have been fired at all in the same period of time.

The Washington Post had an article out last year. 385 people have been shot and killed by police in the first five months of 2015. Nationwide.

And it's still not an epidemic.

An answer to what exactly? Ask a concrete question and I will answer it. Baiting doesn't count.

From where I'm standing you simply don't understand that I don't do group think. Regardless of the group any individual belongs to. So, as for the above - why would I suffer under white guilt? It wasn't me or anyone I know. But on the other hand I don't deny history either. In short, I'm a human being. My skin color and what certain people want to attach to it isn't relevant at all.

Bold is mine.

You do though since you have put one group above all others. If an Asian man or white man had been shot by American police, I can bet you that you would NEVER create a thread about it because they are NOT on your agenda. They are not important to you, and to feel important, you have to stand by a minority group that doesn't want your help and will not thank you for it either. 

We have done this to death, and to be honest, we are going to continue going around in circles. So, let us agree to disagree.

By the same token, very few police personnel are killed on duty in the United States because they react quickly. He should be honest with himself, in that if he was American, he would be shitting bricks if there were no police around. It is typical left-wing behaviour where everyone single one of them criticises the police, but are willing to support the police when something happens to one of their own. Fucking hypocrites who feel nothing but white guilt.

What group? Can it be that you mistakenly take defending against racism as putting one group over the other?

Above point stands. You're incapable of understanding that another one isn't following your rationale of group A, B and C.

Think what you like, you have your agenda and I have mine. We are not going to agree at any point in the future. You love blacks and whites, I love Asians. Have a nice day old bean.
