Sorry folks, we just see things and interpret facts differently...I believe due to our experiences. I don't for a second believe that we minorities that make up 25% of the pop. commit the majority of the crimes to make up 63% of the prison population. (US Census) I don't believe the US justice system prosecutes equally.
I'm not white, republican, nor conservative, so I'll disagree with the majority of the AFF posters political views.
So I've been dismantled & called a race baiter, lol!!! I've been called a lot worse...dirty Mexican, spic, lazy Mexican, wetback, lazy _____ Mexican, many times...too many to count...ur words cannot hurt me or make me see your points of view. I know racism exists in every facet of the United States population including the church. If I had a nick for every time a Christian has said a racial joke to me thinking that I would laugh with them I would be a rich man. I just walk away sad...knowing that nothing will EVER change. Racism is SO rampat it is alarming...I recall the teacher telling my brother that he HAD to take mechanics & wood shop instead of the higher classes so he could get a job more according to his kind...causing my Dad to drive up from LA demanding to see the top dog and the result was my bro graduating from Yale, Duke, and now a prof @ U of Michigan. I can recall taking a pair of shoes into a cobbler to be told that he didn't do that kind of work...only to do it for my wife 2 hours later when she took them in. I can recall the cop pulling his gun on me for no reason. I can recall all 15 minority kids of our choir having to stay in one house while all the white kids went 2 by 2 to other homes. To me, it's always about race, I've experienced bigotry to many times not to form my opinion. Do I hate? No not ever, my Christ suffered much more than I have because of my color...you will never understand where I come from, don't even try, just don't try to make me think like you...
There are as many if not more white people committing crimes...it is just easier to get locked up if you're Black or Latino...it's just the way it is.

MM - WOW - you're really a lot more prejudiced and racist than I thought. Yes, I said prejudiced and racist - against whites. I am amazed ..
I also recall some "white" young men that attended the same school you did, being held at gunpoint - for no reason. And you've gotta admit, whites are definitely the minority race in your hometown. And I've known some white young people that were counseled to attend vo-tech schools - they were from "Okieville" and the counselors thought they were better suited for manual, blue collar work.
But, I love ya, man!
