Yes. Nobody can deny that black people commit more crimes at a higher rate than white people.
Did I say that? When I see black people being shot and killed while being comepletely unarmed or black people being choked out to the point of dying while minding their own business, yeah, I think thats wrong.
Edit: how in the world does this have 3 downvotes to no upvotes? Yall dont agree that killing an unarmed person is wrong? What the frick is wrong with yall?

Actually more far whites are killed annually by police than blacks. Also, whites are far more likely to be killed in a routine traffic stop by an officer than is a black person. Statistics are racist.
Yeah.. that has absolutely NOTHING to do with whites FAR out populating this country than blacks. How could you not realize that?

Actually, it doesn't. Even when adjusted for population, whites get killed more.

I'm a 60 year ole white man and I agree with you. It's sad but what you said is the truth. At least in my opinion it is.
Funny story, years ago I was on a job (I'm a welding inspector) and we were working late at night, around 1:00 am, I offered some welders some chocolate covered coffee beans that I had in a plastic sandwich bag. Everyone was white but two guys, one was american indian and one was black. When I asked the black guy if he wanted some coffee beans, he replied, No black man in his right mind would accept anything that was in a baggie from anyone at 1:00 am in the morning, without worrying about the police showing up.
He meant it as a joke and we all laughed but there is some truth to it.

More white people being killed while there being way more in this country has nothing to do with the statisitics compared to blacks? Thats retarded man

It doesn’t upset me that Reid speaks out on his opinion it upsets me that he and many blacks refuse to speak out on and address the black on black murders committed in the US. Specifically in his home town of BR.
As well as high single parent households.
He can easily address more than one issue at a time. Yet him and his group never do.

Im a 25 year old white man. I just have the nuts to say that black people are treated unfairly. Just because you are white doesnt mean you have to choose a side and discount everything about the issue. When something is wrong, its wrong. No matter what race is involved. And its embarrassing seeing all these downvotes. Be different and stand up for something.

I can.
Black treatment by police is not out of line with the level of their criminal activity.
Put your money where you mouth is and go live in a fricking ghetto.

You are absolutely right but let me play devils advocate for a moment...
Have you seen how some (definately not all) black people are treating police these days? I know that they feel oppressed, but some of them are compounding the problem by being extremely aggressive towards police. There are plenty of videos to support this.
Again, I hate seeing these deaths. I also hate to see that the police officrs involved are rarely punished for them. That said, racism isn't the only reason why blacks are treated differently than whites in SOME situations.

It does when even when accounting for differences in population and incident rates for interactions with police, whites are still killed more often. The stats don't lie. BLM has no legs to stand on in this argument, especially not with Sterling who was anything but unarmed. The only reason cops were called to the scene was that he had brandished his weapon to several innocent people at that convenience store.
If these activists truly wanted to fix the issues plagueing the black community, they would support ending the War on Drugs.

When you try to use justified shootings with videos of the felons reaching for weapons while resisting sane people aren't going to believe you

As someone who has defended the kneelers; the statistics simply don't bear this out.
