a true visionary.
Imagine a world goverened by morality. A place where instead of legal meanings and definitions one would simply weigh the moral necessity of actions based on earth and human needs.
Ironic.
That's pretty much the point the dude from the college in Alabama was trying to make with his video, and atheists were outraged and demanded an apology because he referenced "religion" as being what helps people obey laws.

Everyone's ancestors were slaves at some point.
It's called growing up.

perhaps that statment has truth in it.
now tell me the correct number of yrs. it takes to remove such mental scarring?
The group in question is by far the youngest in this land when viewing through the lens of slavery.

Goods points but you danced around my implication that due to their unique circumstances in life they became even more culturally intwined than just about every other ethenic group other than the jews who have had similar paths. The unity and overall sacrifice to survive attidude is actually one huge factor in what made america great. That is often the case anytime pressure is appplied to things.
Not that I have an argument with exercising your 2nd Amendment rights but what good would it do you in this situation? I try to imagine myself being there and what I would do. Being a bit of a loudmouth in crowds I would be tempted to get up on a table and yell "what exactly do you want US to do about it?, this issue crosses racial lines because all races are being victimized by police out of control. Do you want help or do you just want for us to hate you ?"
This tactic is so far beyond stupid it must be designed to generate more racial animosity. Question is who is behind it ?
If it looked opportune I might even ask one of the protesters if I could buy them brunch and let's talk about it.

It is bulls#...
It's not even close to 21.
Thanks. I like knowing the real stats, the facts. This really shouldn't be that hard of a number to figure out.
Still, no matter what the number it's not meaningful unless there is an established causation. Claiming skin color is the cause of the stat is incredibly naive and stupid. If you had to make your living analyzing stats and making decisions based off of that analysis, and simply used correlation, not causation, you would be broke.
"Hey.... I have an idea. We can make sure that NOBODY has any sympathy left for them. Let's hire some protesters to go into restaurants and harass white people having lunch!"

No problem...
126 Black people killed by police in a population of 45,003,665...
That's 1 in 357,171
326 White people killed by police in a population of 245,532,000...
That's 1 in 753,165...
Population stats from Google...
The shot & killed statistics made famous by Bill O'Reilly come from 2012 apparently...
There is no regulation of statistics in general in the U.S.
So we can safely say that in 2012 Black people were twice as likely to be killed by police...
What the stats would tell us for 2014 is pretty much impossible to find out.
Edit: You're correct Jamie we can only speculate on the cause, & that benefits no one anyways.
