You won't see real Democrats like myself complaining (that Bloomberg us done). Remember Bloomberg was a Republican until about 5 mins ago. That view is acceptable on the right, not on the left

Why do you do that? ...as though only Republicans are racist?

Do you not remember the super-predator comment from Hillary Clinton from years back?

Racism is not party specific. Racism is not race specific. Racists attitudes and stereotypes are everywhere.

There's more than one video of Bloomberg in that vein. This article explains another incident (also caught on video):

Quote:
On his weekly radio show, Bloomberg remarked that critics kept saying that a disproportionate number of people being stopped were from a particular ethnic group. "That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe...in that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little," he said.

I see right leaning posters all over this website say that black people and Hispanics commit all the crime, sometimes "saying it without saying it"

Take the list of right leaning posters here, and remove about half of them, and you have your list. I don't have enough space to post all of them

So you're saying Republicans are far more forgiving than Democrats for youthful stupidity? Yes, I agree. As people age and gain life experience they are far more apt to switch to conservatism than the other way around.
