I don't think that we'd miss "the people" doing what they always do, if rioting and looting and burning down a city is what that is. Wouldn't be a brick left standing from coast to coast.
Cops aren't the only ones who get off murdering people. Nicole Brown Simpson's murderer got away with it too.......and nobody rioted.
Thanks for proving my point.
You know why the white majority doesn't riot over a murder? BECAUSE they have had a history of control. You know who has had a history of being slaves, and even after suffered through segregation? It wasn't Nicole's skin color.
"They do it too" is a bullshit argument. EVERY human regardless of skin color, regardless of nationality, political party, or religion OR skin color is capable of committing crime.
The point you keep missing is that white people and black people HAVE NOT had the same history. That failure to accept that is why you stupidly cannot accept that the crime rates are not a matter of blacks committing anymore crime than whites. Blacks are simply arrested more and punished more harshly.
AND AGAIN we can go outside America and see the same behavior of minorities in other countries by their majorities. That treatment of minorities by that majority is a matter of long term social conditioning. Unless you live it your point of view is going to be skewed.
My x- wife was Japanese, and she said, as if it was a shock to me which it wasn't, that even Japan has different dialects and if she visits a part of Japan where she is not used to that, she will be treated as the minority, and if those folks came down to her hometown they would be treated as a minority. Now if that can happen on mere dialect alone, how much worse do you think it can be with race and or religion?
Again, even a Sunni majority is going to treat a Shiite minority differently. A Shiite majority is going to treat a Sunni minority differently. And both are going to treat non Arabs and non Muslims differently.
And Jews BORN in Germany were GERMAN born citizens, but despite being German they still got the short end of the stick under the Nazis.
Burma's Muslim minority are treated differently than Burma's Buddhist majority,
Your ignorance claiming "blacks do it too" is not an argument. All humans will under similar conditions on average will as both a majority and or minority behave within the same range because of CONDITIONS. Both the conditions of the majority, and the conditions of the minority.
Your perceptions are skewed, it isn't about the numbers you quoted, it is about who is affected the most by the conditions.
