If someone made a racially motivated slur against an; Italian American, Irish American, Native American or Hispanic American and died in the aftermath the public would pleading for leniency. Because after all he was asking for it. His lawyer would get a autopsy report to show he didn't die from the punch but buy not being careful to watch were he was falling.

Leniency for whom? The hypothetical Irish American who killed a 77 year old man for calling him a slur?

He wasn't fired, reprimanded or told that he should have used more restraint, even though his verbal assualter was known to be on the edge of some mental break down. It keeps society civil. This is America were we want to hide guns on our person, kill during road rage, stand our ground. Its seems like every gets to join in but black people.

What a bizarre thing to assert. Black people are the most likely to be involved in violence.

He may have been being a jerk, but that doesn't mean he used a racial slur.


This manager had a short fuse, so it could have been anything. Plus, I'd bet if they dig deep enough, they'll find he isn't very fond of White people.


There's a lot of racism coming from the black and brown communities. And, as opposed to most White 'racists,' they're not afraid to act on it with physical violence and hate-speech.

Meanwhile, black women are usually traveling with other black women.

Once in a great while I see black families but not often.

Black men can get all the White women they desire these days. At least woke is working out for them in that regard.

Second-degree manslaughter?

Well, this is how I see it. I'm a Black man and I've had plenty of crushes on non-Black women (especially White and Hispanic women). If there are Black men who want to be with White women, that's none of your business. If it bothers you, well, there's nothing you can do about it.

Black men who date and marry White women, they do that because to them, race doesn't matter. They are open minded like that. Why do you care who Black men date? How is it any of your business?

Something else. Another reason you probably see alot of Black men with White women is this reason: It's Hawaii. Hawaii has one of the highest rates of racial mixing in America. If you are part of an interracial couple, Hawaii is likely one of the best places you can be.

I have. My mother is lighter than my father. Who cares?

31 people said it's OK to murder someone for saying something offensive, by a 77 year old person.

Must be the squad on City Data.
