You're right it's not skin color, it's culture and behavior. And what creates culture? Largely inherited traits and tendencies. If culture came from without and not from within, then you have a first cause dilemma, and Americans would all be one culture.

But I want to be judged by the content of my character and NOT the color of my skin. My color is darker than most Blacks but my biogenetic race is South Asian and my culture is White upper middle class. I see too many people (both liberals and conservatives) on here making broad generalizations based on color.

No, Americans are not reacting to skin color but other cues and experiences. White people don't really think about color and value lightness much. They have lightness in spades and it has no real value to them. Americans if even unconsciously understand the difference between a dark colored person of African and Asian ancestry.

The term looter has been dubbed "racist" by members of the media. Google it. It's not my invention, just sharing the news.

I'm right there with you until you add the qualifier "if unprovoked."

How about never dragging an innocent person from their car for any reason period.

This incident demonstrates that if BLM is blocking the street in front of you, the brake pedal is the wrong pedal. If you want to live, hit the gas and get the hell out of there.

Some people are just sick and/or evil.

To think any person ( a woman of all people ) would disregard the safety of that child and attack the mother holding it is despicable. She acted like an animal with total disregard for anything but fulfilling her anger/rage.
What it was all about is not the point, but there is a time and place for everything, and attacking a woman holding a child should be grounds for a long stay in jail.
Maybe then the person will learn to control their temper.
