I would describe being stomped,kicked,etc.by large numbers of blacks (on multiple occasions for no reason)as being pain.
By your logic,I should have the right to become like a racist "The Punisher".
I used to be extremely racist-because of what ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME-I can't imagine whining about something that happened to OTHER PEOPLE that lived in ANOTHER ERA OF TIME.
You are just making excuses for their behavior.

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.
It's 2014. The black community that you paint with stereotypes did not grow up in slavery, or even segregation. You know slavery ended 150 years ago, right?
Let's snap back to reality.
The events that triggered the protests were 2 cases where a Grand Jury heard all the evidence, considered the evidence, and did not find enough evidence to bring charges based on the law.
Justice does not mean getting the results you want. Justice means allowing the system, however flawed it might or might not be, play out.
It's the same justice system that many of the same people praised when OJ Simpson was found not guilty of murdering his wife and Ron Goldman.
To equate people going into a restaurant and disrupting diners because of these cases really diminishes their credibility, imo.
It's so outrageously counter-productive I would think looking at it as false flag may be a better angle. Who decided this was a smart thing to do? Who in the media decided to make this a headline story?
Who benefits from this? What's the consequence if their is more division and backlash?
Who wins? I promise you it's not the black community that wins from this type of protest over what happened with Garner and Brown.

Just to let you know, blacks weren't the only slaves in America.

They are committing more crime-so obviously they would end up being shot more by the police.

Sorry, was there a racial segregation policy I missed at these restaurants the jackasses were protesting?
There is a racial segregation you must have missed. The Right to Life is being denied black people by the police at a rate of 21 times that of their white neighbors.
Genocide is genocide.
I'm a stats geek. Can you provide your source?
Thanks for your input.
I'm not interested in discussing this topic with you.
Anybody else know where to find stats that show blacks are being killed at a rate of 21 times their white neighbors? Or is this just made up nonsense?

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.
Exactly. Blacks commit way more crime per capita so it stands to reason there is a higher likelihood they will be in violent encounters with police. Not racism. Just math...

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.

then explain the multitudes of people who have had horrible childhoods and upbringing and succeed and are good people despite it....
There are too many examples of people rising above their situations, to use what happened 60+ years ago as an excuse......

2012 FBI Statistics...
White Crimes...69.3%
Black Crimes... 28.1%
Everyone else makes up the remainder...
So with that in Mind...why do people keep saying "Black people commit more crime"?
Deny Ignorance...
Take off the White Hood & Robe before you log in to ATS is my advice.

What i know is that my great grandfather who i met when younger owned slaves.
i know i was a 5yo boy being called sir by grown black men with fear in their eyes.
