What if the police officer was also Black, of course the argument would say Oh a black man would not do that to another back man.

I understand..but for the purpose of argument. You saw 2 human beings of the same color. Im sure there are black policemen as equally abusive as white policemen. Again I say not all policemen are abusive!

Would this be a case of a hate crime or its just a police brutality case...how is media would run it on the news so it will also garner much attention and create anger and riots around the world? Would it be easy to garner much attention as the one we currently have?

Or let say the policeman was a chinese or Japanese (American) or Mexican would it garner hate riots towards the Chinese, Mexican and the Japanese Americans?

Or another situation...the policeman was Black and the one on the ground gasping for air is a white man.

Would white men go out in riots and protesting “White lives Matter”?
Maybe yes...they have the right to do that as citizens of America.

In closing: All human beings around the world are suffering and experiencing police brutality...injustice...prejudices.... bullying....torture.... poverty....Covid19
This is the reality!

Would be ok to say “All human Life Matters”???

There was a slogan in the rioters “ If your neutral about the situation you just took side of the oppressors” I ask who are the oppressors???....the whites....the yellow...the brown....the blacks???

One was chanting end the racism!!!!

If you want racism to end it should start from you...stop looking at my color and stop calling me as my color...stop calling me by my religious beliefs...stop calling me because of my culture....stop treating me indifferently because of my skin color!!!

I am a human being with a God given name.!

Maybe Racism would be taken out of Webster dictionary as part of everyone language!

But of course I live in America!

This is what you get with identity politics. As far as racism goes, I was a white minority in my NJ High School. Racism goes both ways. I’ve lived it, yet never thought about destroying someone else’s property.

There’s a guy who likes to tell racist jokes to the staff and some members of my golf club. He actually thinks that he’s not a racist because he tips well and “is only joking around”. He has no idea how much they despise him.

So, bottom line is racists exist, and I’m afraid always will. It’s taught. Nobody comes out of the womb hating someone because of their skin color.

Personally, I don’t judge people by their color, religion, ethnicity, sexual gender, or sexual preference. I judge people on whether they’re azzholes or not.

I don't disagree with anything you have said about racism, but conversation for Blacks is much greater than racism in the way you describe. It is magnified by being oppressed, marginalized and treated as inhuman. Do you ever see pictures of non-Blacks depicted as animals. Blacks are often depicted as monkeys and Apes. I understand your point and do not condone racism Black on White or White on Black, that said a White person can change their geography and said racism goes away it is not so for Black person. Furthermore White people have access to jobs, wealth and opportunity for success at a much hire rate than Blacks. Yes, many of us are more successful today than ever and access to many things have widen be we are still no where near being equal. Just take a look at Motorsports to keep it real. How many Black drivers do you know that are racing at the highest level? There isn't a shortage of outstanding Black drivers just access to sponsors. Of the Black drivers that are running at the the highest levels not one of them is of dark skin. Oh yes if even within the Black race here in America and many other countries Blacks with lighter skin are shown more favor and is a cause of inter-racial prejudice as well. But I digress, the conversation cannot be just about prejudice without understanding, grasping and owning our history and how all of it born out what we are experiencing today. We can't just say get over it that happened 300 years ago or that the 1968 Civil Rights Movement are enough. We need to continue to reconcile our past and present and continue to struggle forward.

My own mother told me Im an azzhole but she loved me anyways!

Honestly majority of my friends are African American...I blend well with them because my color is medium rare!

I like being with them because they are funny just hearing them talk makes me laugh! They treat me well and do the same.., one even calls me his brother he never had...so dont think at any point Im racist.... as Im proud of my skin and I know where I came from ...I proud of my heritage!

True story ...my first day at work in America coming from a foreign country!

I White red neck asked me over our daily meeting “ Hey how does a poodle (dog ) taste like?

I said well taste like a mixed of chicken and pork! Every body laugh!!!

Now we are best buddies he respect me and I respect him.. For the first time they said he never invited anyone to his house but He invited my family to dine with his family during Thanksgiving!

You see we can get along together. I didn’t take offense on what he said about my culture. Why will I get offended of something is true about me?!!

The only thing I hate being with my African American friends I’ll always in a disadvantage in any type with regards to Sizes!!! Lol

But Im cool...I know how to use it...that matters most!!!
Lol

It's not the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean.
