I don't care WHEN it happened to NON BLACKS. Either way, It doesn't make it right. LOL!

If it's not reported, that's on the people that don't report it. Again that doesn't make it right or ok to do it to non-blacks or anyone.

The simple fact is when you hold people accountable by reporting it to the law or general public, there are consequences as we've seen with the Beckies!

It's not just a race thing as some would love for people to believe, it's a human nature thing.
As a black man I have no problem calling the police on other black people causing a public nuisance, disturbing the peace, or loitering. Being black is no excuse to act a fool.

As you stated, if you dress, walk, talk, and act like a criminal then you get treated like a criminal regardless of race or culture.

Would someone call the police on Obama or Ben Carson? No. Would someone call the police on Dennis Rodman? Yes.

Yes. They’re a lot better than Africa! They’ve managed to build some type of civilization on their own.

Example 1. The kid mowing the lawn had a neighbor who always called the cops for little things for everyone. Yet the only time it made the news was when it was a black kid. All of the sudden it’s racist and that narrative dominates when race had nothing to do with it. It’s as if it’s racist no matter what man all other reasons are ignored. See how biased and uninformed you are!?
Since you added to your justification, you provided one exception to the many cases out there where race has been proven to be a factor. That's laughable because we can always find an exception. It doesn't change the fact for what it is, so how uninformed are you when there is a pattern of racial bias on most fronts in this country? Real estate, employment, education, laws, politics etc. I think the pattern of racial inequality in this country speaks for itself.

The reason to commit crime is because the 1% control 38% of the wealth and the 10% control 77% of the "riches". That leaves 90% competing for 23% of the pie.

Yeah people say don’t profile .. but when you look at mug shots..there are patterns . A high percentage seem to have face and neck tattoos these days . No matter the race .

Sure it’s a free country and you can tattoo dumb stuff all over your face and neck but it puts you in the suspicious category.
That’s not a racial thing more a ghetto thing .

How sad that you believe the poor in this country are incapable of being law abiding citizens. Are you there to pay their bail or visit them in prison too?

The rest of us should be so lucky as to live life without breaking the law and creating innocent victims.

Exactly. Ghetto culture doesn’t know race. Anyone can be ghetto. Look no further than the white “catch me outside girl” who was on Dr Phil acting a fool. Her own mother has called the police on her numerous times

Yeah that is sad . Although crime is high in low income areas and ghettos . 100% or getting residents don’t commit crime .
So the theory of “well what did you expect they grew up poor” doesn’t really work .

It’s more family values than money .

From the gang member to the school shooter there is usually serious issues at home .

You don’t need to be a 1%er to raise a decent family .
