Ok, what group of educated blacks make excuses for poor behavior of the uneducated blacks.



I will admit I don't have a lot of IRL experience with them, at least not in the last few years, but all of the black experts they put on the news make excuses rather than speak out against the behavior itself.

Of course not but if someone in my family was doing something to give my family a bad name I sure would talk to them about it.

Agreed, but if a large % of your race keeps showing up on the news, in social media, IRL etc doing this shite people will subconsciously do it.

I wish we could eliminate race and treat people on a case by case basis. Race only matters because we make it matter.



I 100% agree everyone should be judged only on the content of their character.

So when you see Bernie Madoff stealing money, you identify with him?

Or when you hear about white male serial killers, you feel some kind of responsibility for them?

What about the white priests who frick little kids? You think that it's a reflection of white people?

Poor representatives of the whole. You can always find somebody to say what you want. The media has an agenda in pushing this.

Race is not the same as family, despite what some will tell you.

The minority often yells the loudest. Whenever white people do something stupid, nobody with sense think they speak for an entire race.

People pay attention to what supports their viewpoint.
