It seems that the media in general and white American society in particular prefer to focus on crime perpetrated by African Americans because it serves as a way to absolve them from the violence, prejudice and institutionalized discrimination engendered for generations against blacks.
It offers a buffer against responsibility, a way to shift blame and deflect cause and effect.
That's your twisted perception. It's not reality.

It's not the truth, just another way for people like you to falsely play the race card.
You'd think on a forum like this people would be able to see more than black and white.
We currently have the highest addiction rates AND prison rates
How's that working out??
If you want to see the problem, look in the mirror. Quit voting for the status quo.
