Given that fact, it is common sense to be more suspicious of a black man than a white man.

Of course that does assume you should be suspicious at all. If you want to make an argument that you shouldn't automatically be suspicious of either of them then I'm with you on that. There are far more innocent people than criminals of all races.

But to say you have to be equally suspicious of both when reality is that both are not equally likely to be criminals, then I say that is nonsense. That's willfully ignoring critical analysis of available facts.
OK so you feel that its OK to judge the situation different according to the person race. I get it

Yup, bigotry will always be with us. Even if everyone were white, you'd syill have people finding differences to make then bigger then, better then the other folks around them.

When I was in grammar school, the kids singled out by the bigots, were the red-headed kids with too many freckles, and the fat kids. On C-D, if nothing else is known about the other person, then the bigotry is based on political ideology.

I don't like it, but I understand it for what it is. Groups of people are linked with certain behaviors. This is not necessarily racism - it's human nature.


I don't like when it happens to me, but God made me who I am, I know I will generally not cause any harm - so I get over it.

You just said the premise of the OP is bogus, then you say it's truth.

Sorry. You are right. This still needs to debated and shown to be true. To many times blacks are made bitter by unjust treatment. Then given more trouble because they are bitter. It is a viscous cycle.
