The problem right now is the white guilters that go around stoking the fire because they feel guilty about being white like Colin Kaepernick's white adopted parents drilled into him.

Race is always the easy scapegoat for lack of success. Work hard, start a business, get a degree, and you'll make your own "privilege"

That's not what privilege is about. That's just retreating back into your safe space because you feel uncomfortable, as a white man, talking about it. You're supposed to think racism doesn't exist, that everything is fine if everyone just "works hard". Well, ask Asians how's that working out for them, because they are constant victims of racial bullying

I refuse to empathize with anyone who continues to do the wrong thing.

The failures need an excuse so they can continue to fail and make it someone else's fault. It's the lazy way out.

In many states; Hispanics are tossed in with anglo white people if talking committing crimes like murder. IF "Hispanics" were listed as a "race", the anglo white crime rate would drop even lower.

That can get messy real fast: I've known some anglo white people who were quite dark and, I've known some Asians from China and so on who are DayGlo "white" in skin color.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...f2973#comments

So here are the numbers in 2015

17 blacks killed police officers
16 whites killed police officers

Yet officers killed 732 whites and only 381 blacks! So the officers are getting shot at, attacked, and killed by slightly more blacks yet they defend themselves or retaliate by killing a disproportionate amount of whites? So how is this racist against blacks? Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Why are you not controlling for population differences?

Blacks and non-blacks diverged 60,000 years ago. They're different.

Genetically, there is very little that is different. As well, we are more mixed/heterogeneous as a species than ever, particularly/especially in America. Most people would be shocked to learn how genetically diverse they are. Having one's genome sequenced is one of the greatest equalizers in regards to these debates.


Disclosure: I work in genetics research.
