We have a black (well half, but still) person in the highest and most important position of our country. Twice. I think it's time to move on from these excuses.
what does Obama have to do with white people being upset because Black people can address other Blacks in ways white people cannot?

"You got a black president, what more do you want?" ...smh

So, the fact that over 99% of blacks are law abiding citizens is meaningless? Got it.

No, people with logic don't look at groups of people and make generalizations based off the actions of a few. That's just as asinine as saying most whites are serial killers or most white children will shoot up schools.

Well, when you say 99% of blacks are nonviolent is irrelevant, I suppose it is possible to make the conclusion that a "disturbingly high percentage of blacks are violent and criminal"

So you would move the goal post insead of wondering why the hell I'm asking such a poor question? Alright then.

Your thought process is COMPLETELY WRONG. Just because blacks are a minority and encounter non-blacks more often than the reverse, it doesn't mean they automatically should be committing more crime against them. And as we've already heard time and again, blacks commit the most crime against other blacks which means blacks are violent in general.
No, blacks commit the most crime against other blacks because no one encounters blacks more than other blacks.

If you are black yes. If you are white, no. Most people whites encounter are other whites. For blacks it is roughly fifty-fifty. The difference in encounter rates is behind the difference in how likely it is for blacks to commit a crime against whites vs. whites commit a crime against blacks.

Blacks are disproportionately the poorest demographic in the United States. Crime is a result of poverty and lack of opportunities. It has nothing to do with race.

See above.

Also, the media has to get ratings so they can get paid. Based on your post, I can tell you are more likely to watch the channel if the narrative is "scary black guy robs innocent white person." The fear is already engrained in your mind. Easy profit.
