I mean technically you can say that based on you wanting to be smart about it but you know how the world works, you can't get away with that. I'd just think you shouldn't group "blacks generally" if you don't want people to get on you about it. If your in a bad neighborhood and you know it's rough it's fully acceptable to say you wouldn't stop it's probably just how you say it.

Adam Carolla says that profiling is one of the best privileges we have, and I 100% agree. We are allowed to profile dogs (i.e. a pitbull vs. a chihuahua), why not people, who are more dangerous?

I'm going to guess that 90% of stated racism is bullshite for political reasons.

The word has been rendered useless, which is sad for people who experience real racism.

If someone treats me poorly, I think their an a-hole. If I'm black and the same white guy treats me poorly is that racism?

How do you discern if you are being treated just the same as white folks and the guy is just an a-hole?

I once had a discussion with a 40 something black lady about racism. She said where she grew up you could just feel it. I said what overt act of racism did you experience. She said "oh none, but you could just tell it was there.

I've been treated worse by black people based on the color of my skin then she ever will going in the other direction.

How is that not true? Affirmative action objectively displaces qualified white and Asian students for less qualified students. That is sad and insults the dignity of all parties involved.

I think you should just be weary of poor desperate people in general. Because it's not black people it's poor people that are the wild ones. Just so happens that there are more black poor people than any other race. Dont let the media brainwash you guys. This is a socioeconomic issue. The same way no one cares for some of the things trailer trash does either.

I agree. My wife is from the Appalachian mountains. There are lots of poor people there. Lots and lots of poor white people.

Personally, I don't want anyone to be poor. I used to be short on finances and didn't like it so I changed my situation. I want everyone to do the same.

I think there should be an opportunity to get out being poor. Oh.. Wait there is. I was in the army with guys that had never had indoor plumbing. I was in with lots of guys raised in the inner city that wanted more. They got more and lead successful lives.

Poor is a way of life. It's about what you are willing to accept.

Yep. I remember traveling to Ireland years ago and being on foot in an area of Dublin and being uncomfortable in trying to identify if I was in a bad area or not. Everything there is pretty old and even if everyone was the same color as me, when you see young people just hanging out, you just have to assume the worst and be on your guard.

Without reading that wall of text it's my understanding that black people are more racists than Caucasians.
