[QUOTE="Stanley, post: 16429856, member: 35939"] The media makes it easier. They made it the discussion because that's all they are putting out there. I believe that there are far more good people out there than bad and I've seen evidence of that through social media, but for some reason that doesn't get ratings. There are people of all races walking together in those marches and cleaning up after the looters but most people don't get to see that. There are videos of black and white people standing together trying to stop the looters but again that's not the story. Instead you have the media doing more than one take in front of a burning car to make sure they get the most mayhem possible in the shot. While the issue with blacks and cops is one that needs attention, it isn't hard to find videos of cops harassing white people too. I think most of the time it isn't a race issue with cops, but a bad cop issue. I think you were the one that pointed out not hiring people because their IQ was to high. The hiring and training of the police needs to be looked at across the country to identify the flaws and work towards fixing them. The other issues need to be talked about too (and not just for blacks). Not having fathers in the home isn't a good thing. Not finishing high school isn't a good thing. Joining gangs isn't a good thing. Looking into what is causing these issues and fixing them will do far more to help the black community than anything else. I've already had to field questions and have had issues from my son because he isn't white like my daughter and I. Some kid in his class one year called him dark Colin and the other Colin was white Colin. He has asked why he looks different than us and one day he may have issues with the other people because of it, but we raise our kids to not listen to people like that. We can all be better than this. [/QUOTE]
