    What ? Are you referring to albinos ? Most black folk who give birth to white folk give birth to albinos, but "albinos" whiteness is very different from the whiteness of an asian, an european or even a native american. Albinos can't synthetize melanine at all and suffer beyond the persecutions they have of a lot of disease and often die early.

    If it's so important to you, they're even whiter than the vast majority of white people, because white people have still a tan and low level of melatonin, something albinos people can't have at all.
    You seems to express pride and joy than sometimes people of subsaharian descent give birth to people that a deficiency would lead them to poor eyesight and painfull burns and in the end a wide array of diseases, because they have then a skin tone similar to people of european and northern asian descend, even if those people don't have to suffer of the consequences of a dyfunctionnal skin. That's really weird.

    I don't do requests, sorry. If you don't understand a simple explanation of basic genetics, I can't help you. Genetics aren't racial. They apply the same way to every human.

    Systemic racism is the explanation for high rates of black poverty and incarceration when there is no evidence of racial discrimination. Those who complain about systemic racism believe, or pretend to believe that the difference races are intrinsically equal in average characteristics necessary for civilization. These are intelligence, obedience to the law, and monogamy.

    It's a partial reason.
    Not the sole reason.

    I believe that there is racial profiling being practiced by some police officers. And I believe that, overwhelmingly, people of color are treated differently when being stopped for traffic violations and jay walking.

    Do you think more black folks tend to escelate a situation by being belligerant and combative than say, other groups? I have learned one thing, you will never win a pissing match with a cop, no matter your color. The way you answered that previous post strongly implied you think cops murder based on skin color. Why do we tend to find out, long afterwards...that in many fatal encounters, the deceased tended to escalate a situation?
    (This is not to imply homicide was always justified)

    Racial profiling is an essential tool for any investigator who is trying to track down a suspected perpetrator of a serious crime, especially in the USA, where we have such a racially diverse populace. Racial profiling is a logical part of the process of elimination, an essential tool for any criminal investigation officer to perform their job efficiently.

    If a couple of black teenage males rob a convenience store and shoot the clerk and flee in a 2012 Honda Accord, does it make any sense to be looking for a little 80 year old white lady driving to the grocery store in her 1972 Chevy Nova?


    Think!

    What part of my statement - And I believe that, overwhelmingly, people of color are treated differently when being stopped for traffic violations and jay walking - made you jump to murder? As for escalation, I agree we are seeing that. But I'm wondering what my reaction would be if I lived through multiple experiences of being yanked out of my car without an explanation of reason. I wonder what your reaction would be.

    You and I will never see this issue the same way.

    93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. The hysterical right ignores that fact to make the protests illegitimate in their eyes.

    Well that 7% has done an awful lot of damage! I wonder what proportion of the protesters on Jan 6th actually stormed the Capitol?

    Of course not. It was pro-Trump. Nothing pro-Trump is legitimate. The DOJ ia foinf to investigate all Trump supporters as likely terrorists.

    Imagine the reaction by Democrats were groups of Christians confronting cops then burned and looted telling us the did it so you would believe in Jesus and GOD?

    Of course, it was the rioters who were the problem, not the protesters.

    Yes, those who did not storm the capitol were protesters, those who stormed it rioters.
