    Another place where I saw very little racial discord was in the US Army.
    Even after just the blisters, rope burns and wounds incurred during Basic Training, Paratrooper training and other advanced training, you quickly learn that blood type is more important than skin color.

    Ok, so you're giving an opinion of some made up scenarios for a made up situation. This is partly why there is so much disinformation in the world. People seem more interested in all these what 'if' stories instead of actual facts.

    How do you deal with a situation where the facts are not completely known?

    Its not black vs white. Most people of all ethnicities recognice the benefit of having emergency services. Small minorities of them believe they are instead being targetted by them. The media amplifies them to seem larger and more influencial than they are.

    What's considered a "black community" the inner cities with the high crime rates?

    Apparently you are not aware of what some white college students do following one of their school teams either winning a great victory in a game or even sometimes an upset defeat. They trash the town and frequently do large amounts of damage to vehicles and property.

    Have you compared that to the number of deaths in black communities? They are not even in the same universe.

    So you are suggesting that police and fire departments in large cities with black leadership are allowed to tailor their response to emergencies based on the race of the people in a neighborhood. Why would the black leadership allow that? I think you have fallen into a trap of using talking points instead of common sense.

    Biotch we shouid say cops are systemically racist?? That’s implying they all are. Systemic is in the system, ingrained. Thinking Leftists went in too deep.

    OK, he was forced to resign for his bad attempt at sarcasm it was not an official order to police over whom he has not authority as you were trying to present.

    Pure flame bait thread with no basis in reality. Just designed to stir the pot, I'm sure Jackson and sharpton will be proud!

    Black Americans are among the most violent people on earth. Any of you folks living in Europe, Canada or the UK want to have a few million of them?
