No. The only enemy here is white people who refuse to empathize with people that don't look like them
Say what? That's like oppositeworld
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
No. The only enemy here is white people who refuse to empathize with people that don't look like them, and instantly dismiss any talk of race because it makes you feel very uncomfortable and retreat to your safe space
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.
Hispanics and Asians don't exist. Race is only black and white. Anyone else makes things too confusing for a society that operates in binary. That's why, you and me, are perpetual foreigners and nothing is going to change that
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.
In 2015 (I used 2015 to eliminate the ambush killing in Dallas. I don't want to skew the numbers) blacks killed more police officers than whites, yet police officers killed substantialy more whites than blacks!!
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?
Then tell us a reason why blacks commit crimes at a much higher rate than asians, whites, and hispanics. I want to hear your view on this. The reason or reasons matter.

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.
