They pretty much validate that when a black guy is seen trying to break into a car, a guy decides to call the cops (as the video shows), while when a white guy does it, no one called the cops, that time.
Could it be due to the fact that people know that far higher percentages of crimes (in proportion to population) are committed by black people, than by white people?
Maybe the guy who called the cops, overreacted. (And maybe he didn't.)
But the point is, he had a reason for his reaction.
If you don't like that, then perhaps you can do something to get the black people who commit such excessive numbers of crimes, to stop doing it.
That would be far more appropriate than complaining that the guy who called the cops, was doing something he shouldn't.
None of what you said refutes the fact that if a White person commits a crime, then that White person should do the time, period? This is why I have a problem. The message you seem to advocate is "if you're Black and you commit a crime, you should be subjected to worse scrutiny than a White person doing the same thing". And what that advocates goes against how a justice system should work.
No one here is refuting crime rates. Everyone kind of knows what they are. However, what does it have to do with individual responsibility? How is a White person committing a crime any less destructive than a Black person committing the very same crime? Not statistics, but the result of that crime. If a White person vandalizes your house, is it any less destructive than if a Black person does it? Is the result any different? Forget statistics, focus on the results of that crime and that results alone.
The message you seem to advocate is "if you're Black and you commit a crime, you should be subjected to worse scrutiny than a White person doing the same thing".
No, it doesn't.
Except to people who WANT my message to seem that way.
The white guy had on a t-shirt and jeans.
The black guy had on a tshirt, jacket and pants. How exactly is that a thug uniform?
Come to NJ and i will show you what thugs look like.
You say that the problem is that most crimes in the US are committed by black people, but the video alone tells you that white crime often goes undetected.
We could say the same for black people as well. Majority of crimes and people getting busted are black i should say for you then. I am sure there are other races that get away with things so lets step out of the box a little bit here.

And there's nothing I can do to help them.
You say that because Blacks commit more crimes, you could understand why more people would call the cops on the Black guy. That is basically trying to justify the action. I don't care why more people called the cops on the Black guy. I really don't care why. If ANYONE does the crime, then it calls for punishment, no matter what race the person comes from. I don't care what the statistics say about Black crime. That has no pertinence on what the results of that crime will be.
That word is key there. Ive worked with and met a lot of black individuals that are actually from other countries, unlike the ones that go around touting how they are African American. And they mostly seem to be completely different than American born blacks, in a good way. They largely dont have this sense of victimhood or entitlement.
"African Americans" sure could learn a few things from other people of color who come here from other countries, and not just black people, but other races as well.
Yep, I've had the pleasure of working with Africans from myriad nations over there; one must work very hard to keep up with them and not look bad.
While a black American co-worker will doom you to pick up their slack because they're too lazy to do anything.

Well, duh, because we are scrutinized more! We are pulled over more, questioned more, called the police on more, etc. Your statement actually proves my point. Blacks get busted because the cops are called. White criminals don't get busted because they are given the benefit of the doubt and not presumed to be up to no good (when in fact, they are).
LOL. Racists' love of Africans is so funny to me. We sure could've used that love 300 years ago!
Yeah. And the one so called "lazy" African American is proof in his warped mind that ALL African American workers are lazy.
Heck, I've worked over 32 years and have seen plenty of lazy caucasian workers... but I don't go around labeling all caucasians as lazy. The ones that are, they get away with it way longer than if they were a minority. I'm not saying that it isn't fair but it is what it is.
