Well, it's quite obvious that Islam as it has been practiced for 1600 years was and continues to be the source, and model, of modern slavery. The only people practicing countrywide slavery today are Muslims in Africa as they have been doing so since they invaded the continent. In addition to country wide Slavery we only have to look at ISIS, the Boka Haram and others to see modern day evidents of it's practice.

Translation, Because I'm black you expect me to be a radical anti anything that's not black liberal otherwise I'm just a troll pretending to be black? I apologize I don't fit in with your view of how I should be but I am a human being with heart so to me yes white lives, black lives, asian lives, hispanic lives etc etc matter to me...Google black on white hate crimes if you can bear to see the images, and why isn't this being reported in the media ever?

You have people like Sharpton, Jackson etc blaming everything on whites and saying they are racists but if I had to hazard a guess it would be this, Annual white on black hate crimes 10 or less, Annual black on white hate crimes 15-20,000 although you can't really know for sure since AG Holder said that if your white you can't be the victim of a hate crime.

I know it's shocking to actually see a black guy stand up for other races, but that's how I feel, all lives matter and equality should mean hate crime prosecution for everyone that is guilty of it, and attention focused on black vs everyone else crimes in the media as well, not just one sided.
Sure you're black.

And I notice you say you stand up for other races, but really your posts from this thread and others are really about you standing up for whites. And all the injustices and horrors done to whites and the hands of blacks. We get it, you care about everyone, but in particular you really care about how crappy black people treat whites, and how unfair it is.

And no it isn't shocking to see a black person stand up for the rights of others. It's shocking that you think that we believe you're black. But carry on with the trolling.

2.) The Media, they hand pick cases of someone black being killed by someone white when it's usually just self defense and they know that uneducated angry people will be ready to riot at a moment's notice, and before you accuse me of being racist I am a black male, and I want to see total equality and by that I also mean more attention brought to the heinous black on white crime that is happening as a result of these riots.
1). Obama hasn't been a very good president. I'm a liberal by the way. But he has not done anything to ruin "progress" in race relations. Please cite specific evidence as to how he HIMSELF has fueled race division in the USA? And don't use the ignorance on citydata or storm-front as your source. I'm curious as to how he's "hurt progress"--you know what policies his administration has implemented that has made race relations worse than in 2008 when he was first elected.

2) I agree that the media is big issue. But not solely for the reasons you've listed. Crime is crime, race aside. Certain cases get more attention than others. If people choose to blindly follow the media like sheep than so be it. What I'm interested in, is why you continue to post about how black on white crime is heinous or worse, and all the injustices done to whites by blacks--and yet you don't post about other crimes pertaining to other races. If you're against crime in general, and media coverage(the way and the stories they choose to cover) I get it. But I'm 100% certain you're trolling and that your intention is to paint both groups in a certain light.

SMH, I see you.

Your perception of race relation deterioration is just that, a perception. You cherry pick recent events and ignore. .Rodney King, OJ, and other issues.

I do not think there has been a deterioration. I think its been a building fire of discrimination. . .that can only be tolerated so long. Only so many unarmed black men can be shot, without cause, until people say "enough"


Don't confuse perception for reality. It is called vividness bias.. .

i would say in this case that black and white want the same thing
justice
mr obama to be fair has suggested a step of progress-- video cameras.
i think there are limits to civil rights law protection. violence should not excused bek of civil rights
perhaps with cameras we can get to the truth. but if that truth shows attacks on police officers i think that the community will have to accept that violence and defiance of the law is not acceptable. the truth, you must be ready to receive the truth that you ask for. i am not sure that is the case.

I'm also against any group vs any group crime if you read my previous posts you would know that, my only point in singling out black on white is that they are at an all time high right now due to current event's, lots of angry blacks killing or injuring the first white person they see, I'd like to see fair and balanced reporting in the media for once not just one sided bias. Look I understand where your coming from dismissing me as a troll and not really black is the cool thing to do and makes you feel vindicated but its just not true.

Yes, exactly Obama needs to be fair he's way to biased it's not even a black on white issue to me as much as a thug issue, He wants to stand up for thugs and make them martyrs while completely forgetting the successful law abiding decent blacks like my family who aren't fixated on blaming everyone for they're problems. I agree body cameras would be a great start, but a lot of people will have to deal with some inconvenient truths and won't be able to play the victim anymore.

You are certainly a troll. There are not "lots of angry blacks killing or injuring the first white person they see." Nor are "black on white" crimes "at an all time high right now due to current event's [sic]." Statements like that make it clear that you migrated here from Stormfront.

Yes I know calling someone a troll makes you feel cool and edgy like you've humiliated me in the high school lunch room lol, but honestly I think people need to be informed that's my point, on that same note the media should also publish how many people have died at the hands of an Illegal Immigrant in the last 10 years, but fair and balanced reporting doesn't sell I get it and I understand having an honest discussion on here without being called a troll or a liar just doesn't happen.

There were around 12,000 people murdered last year. The majority were Blacks killed by other Blacks. If any group is being killed by "lots of angry Blacks", it is Black men. Black men are the #1 murder victim demographic. White murder victimhood is actually alot less than you suggest. Whites and Asians get murdered less than any other demographics.
