I hear this and I think a few things
1. "blacks" (~1 billion)are equated with African Americans (75 million IN THE AMERICAS, not just the US), some of the wealthiest groups in this country (ie Nigerian) most well educated are black but not Afro American...isn't this a racist stereotype from 3% of black people worldwide (AA)s? Doesn't this also mean, if one group can succeed and another can't that RACE is not the issue here, but maybe 95% of the problem poor policing gerrymandering and the prudct of that 95%, 5% of the 'inner city gangsta culture?"
2. How communities should uphold themselves to not damage property or protect lives, hold themselves accountable, yet I cannot remember the last time any cop or judge has arrested the other, at that frequency (everything is relative. Shouldn't each community be consistently told to uphold standards? Personally I think the Military and police bureacracy is out of control. For a nation that hasn't left a full blown recession and is economically uncertain, I am unsure how a country with such a poor youth employment(underemployment) rate can continue to justify pensions/benefits for public officials (not just police) $120k+. These are civil servants, not our military serving abroad.
3. Doesn't explain statistical discrepancy of why Arab Indian Asian Hispanic officers aren't gunning down unarmed 12 year olds at the rate of their white counterparts.
4. Why does this have to focus around race instead of issues demographics facts on TV? Also anyone notice in Ferguson Baltimore Portland SF etc....many of the affected business (ie Mike Brown's store victim) were Asian (Arab Muslim Indian) immigrants? Aren't people who invest everything, their life savings from the third world, the ones missing out the most? Where is their story? I don't think I've seen any store's owner on TV ONCE.
Please be respectful. I believe people on all sides are 1) uninformed 2) incapable of indpendent research 3) Simply are not biased but do not understand each other's perspective.

African Americans are more, not less, successful than blacks worldwide. They benefit greatly from living in the United States. There isn't a black majority country on earth with a living standard anywhere near that enjoyed by American blacks.

Except for the Nigerian immigrants I cited... Did you read what I wrote?

I don't think that you define successful as being on welfare, free or really cheap housing and food stamps?
I'm sure that if the rest of the world supported their lazy and uneducated folks with food stamps, housing and a monthly check .. Those folks would be considered successful too!

Exactly. African Americans are wealthier, better educated, and have higher IQ's than their counterparts throughout the world. The same holds true for Latinos as well.
This is a defense mechanism from white people who are constantly accused of being racists for saying that certain (dangerous, high-crime) neighborhoods are dangerous, etc.
The president, the NAACP, etc. succeeded in dividing this country. I don't ever remember so many decent black folks defending thugs in my lifetime. I also don't remember so many decent white folks having to defend themselves for simply existing.

"Thug" = ******
Stop beating around the bush. "Credibility" in white America is established by chastising black people. ****** is unacceptable in modern society, so the word "thug" is used as a substitute. It's a vile form of racism.
Young (16-24) males who are NOT employed and NOT in school commit x rate of crimes.
That is where the crime is.
Bigotry doesn't care about facts or logic. Only black and brown youth commit crime.
