TIL American Police killed more people in March (111) than the entire UK police have killed since 1900

"If your cops target minorities, are minorities going to be a bigger or smaller portion of your sample and thus affect your stats?"

Are you saying that all races do an exact equal amount of crime and that that the only reason blacks are arrested more is because they are policed more? What do you think will happen if the police pull away from black areas and send more police to white areas?

Tell me something Einstein, why do you think the police target non-whites more often? Do you really think "ahhh the government doesn't like them, so they police them more." Is that really the basis of your argument? If the government didn't like non-whites, they wouldn't be letting them flood into European founded nations like the tidal wave they are.

"Racism is rife in America. Deal with it." I've lived in America for 27 years in every region. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

"Diversity Inc" sounds like such a reputable source for unbiased reporting.... sarcasm Did you not hear me the first time? Universities and companies are actually encouraged to discriminate against white people in their hiring practices. I actually knew a few people who went to university for free just because they weren't white. They had a Hispanic race scholarship. I've been turned down a few times for jobs because I was white, once in Portland and once in Atlanta.

"What right do you have, the descendant of an immigrant have to stay, while they do not? You and them are exactly the same." So you are stripping the identity of all people who came to america as just "immigrant"? We just weren't "homo sapiens", we were Europeans. You just can't boil down the entire population just "immigrant". America was founded and built by European immigrants. It was a European based society. What you are saying is analogous to "We are carbon based lifeforms, therefore we must equate ourselves with all carbon based lifeforms, such as rats and bacteria." That's just ignorant.

But you just spent the last few posts saying that non-whites don't have economic opportunities here. So which is it? Come to the West and you will have economic opportunities, or 'Come to the West and you will be poor as dirt and never have any opportunities'?

If I was black, and I felt like I was being oppressed by white people (like you claim), I would simply move to Africa. Build a house on the edge of a lack, maybe even start a local gold mining operation or programming company

But black people are definitely not oppressed in America. White people are actually the minority in many areas of the country (same will happen to the UK - guaranteed). Crime is very very high because of it. America is becoming a very bad place for people of European descent to live.

You honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
