    Here's what the left thinks of black people.

    Chelsea Handler explains shaming of Trump-backer 50 Cent: 'I had to remind him that he was a Black person'

    "So he doesn't want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn't want to go from '50 Cent' to '20 Cent' and I had to remind him that he was a Black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump and that he shouldn't be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he's worried about his own personal pocketbook,“ Handler said.

    There sure are a lot of those white trash imbeciles.
    The government has identified them as the country’s biggest domestic threat. That are already trying to intimidate voters going to the polls.

    New study reveals racial disparities in fear of police brutality

    Criminology instructor Murat Haner and Melissa Sloan, associate professor of sociology, report in "Race and Worrying about Police Brutality: The Hidden Injuries of Minority Status in America" that while only 6.6 percent of whites "worry a lot" about police violence, some minorities experience much greater fear, with 32.4 percent of blacks and 26.5 percent of Latinos reporting they "worry a lot" about becoming victims of police violence.

    Conversely, three-fourths of whites "do not worry at all" about officer violence, while only one-third of minority respondents "do not worry at all" about police brutality.
    https://phys.org/news/2020-06-reveals-racial-disparities-police-brutality.html

    Notice, a study, not a personal opinion from one's personal life as some here have been offering up.

    You willing to go into the 'hood and tell them to stop using it? It's just a word, but I'm betting a lot of people learn that word before they're 2 years old and they're not learning it from white supremacists.

    Here we go again, now people who worry are victims. Why can't you folks every consider blacks to be something other than victims? Say something nice about them for once instead of conditioning us and them that we're superior and they're not. You guys have conditioned blacks to literally break down in tears when they hear a word they use billions of times a day. And the worst part is you've also conditioned them that they can react any way they want when they hear that word (but only when a White guy says it) without consequences.

    Why don't you guys give them some credit for a change and treat them like you'd treat White people?

    During the second call, Amy once again told dispatchers that a Black male was threatening her in the park, but she added that he "tried to assault her." When police arrived on the scene, she admitted he didn't try to "assault" or come into contact with her, according to Vance.

    Not only do black parents have to give 'the talk', they get the police called on them for birdwatching.

    A black family, including four children, were detained at gunpoint by Colorado police in a parking lot after authorities say they mistakenly thought their car was stolen.

    Footage of the incident posted on social media shows four children between the ages of six and 17 face down on the ground in a parking lot in Aurora. Some can be heard screaming and crying in distress while officers stand over them.
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...oint-colorado-police-car-stolen-a9654141.html

    How many white families are forced to the ground at gunpoint and handcuffed in a case of mistaken oooops?

    Once I had a barking dog dispute within my Latino neighbor. Her dog was bothering us at night. I’ve heard her say out of frustration “faking Polack”. I’m Ukrainian, she assumed I am polish.
    Did I run around the neighborhood and accuse her of racism? No! Many people poorly control their anger and will say things they don’t really mean. Whatever words they choose don’t necessarily represent who they are.
    Chill out!

    Also true, but in todays world there isn't much mercy for anyone who steps out of line anymore. Hard to recover from mistakes for most people, as society wants to mercilessly cancel everyone.

    Nonetheless, racism is a small issue in the U.S., and most of it isn't coming from white people, its being directed at them.

    Notice the only arguments on behalf of the myth of systemic racism, are "studies" of peoples own biased opinions lol. That, and anecdotes.

    Meanwhile the objective facts support the truth that systemic racism doesn't exist.
