America is young and young ones make stupid mistakes. You are quoted as saying "centuries", so you must have mean before America and before Europe came about. However, if you did not mean that post your period of time you only want to be an issue next time.

You better check your history books. America is centuries old.

America has been making stupid mistakes in racism for centuries. Still going on. Guess you never had a member of your family lynched because they were dark skinned or your family's house firebombed just because you were dark skinned. Never had a member of your family racial profiled. You would think differently if you had.

So when are you going to answer CrazyPaul's question to you? Or are you one of the peole that ignore questions and/or refuse to answer?

Answered already. White people don't have to riot. A Black guy that did assault to a white guy is arrested immediately. They get justice because they are white. They don't have to protest in any way to get justice.

Yes, I do notice a pattern that slavery and segregation were imported to America from Africa, Europe, South/Central America and the Far East.

When did settlers come to America is up for debate and depends on whom you ask (where the hell is DeafCaroline when we need her!). Regardless, there could not be but very few blacks at the time.

We're not talking about slavery. We are talking about inequalities in the justice system. We are talking about violence done against free Black people just because of the color of their skin.

It is alive and well and affects people of color every day in America. Example: The Sanford police dept. and the way they handled the investigation. Anpther example: white people refusing to recognize how it affects people of color on a daily basis just because whites don't experience it. Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't affect millions of Americans.

I assume you mean the generic "you." I never said that it didn't exist anywhere.

BTW, are you a white person? Also, how do you know what my race is? Do you also know the races of the other posters in this thread? How?

It exists everywhere.

Nope, not white.

Pretty obvious in things you say. White priviledge shows in the way people think.

Neither do black people. Riots don't create racial justice or equality.

Not always.

That's not always true.

Sure does bring attention to the situations. No one pays any attention until someone gets loud about it.

Got examples close to the Zimmerman case where a white guy was killed by a Black guy and not arrested until protests happened all over the country?

If it isn't always true, could you give some examples?

Really? What about the other posters? What race is Jiro? How about Foxrac?

Zimmerman was arrested before there were any violent protests.

When white people don't get justice they don't usually protest, so we don't see that in the press. That's the point. There are no organized protests to support them.

so you've got no problem with officers "punishing" him however they see fit?

So you have no problem with a crackhead driving 115 mph the wrong way on a freeway who attacks a police officer attempting to arrest him? :roll:

Yes, he was. Which kind of makes all the claims about "riots" way off the mark.
Zimmerman was not, arrested, though, before protests of the fact that he had killed an unarmed teen and not been arrested. The case was not even opened back up until the protests. No one said protests have to be violent. But they have to be done so that a situation is brought to the public's attention. That is what the protests in the Martin case did.

Oh? How about some actual cases of white people that received less justice, then. I'd like to see some of those. How about a white person that was killed by a person of color, the person of color admitted it, and then wasn't arrested?

Got any proof that he was a crackhead, or are you just assuming that because he is Black?
