Ethan, be careful that you aren't doing that...
The fact that whites get guns pulled on them too does not make racism that does exist any less relevant.

Not doing that at all. I see both sides of things. White friends think I'm racist toward white people more than black.... black friends think I cut white majority too much slack.
It's because I can see both sides.
Also, white people are taught to fear black people just as much as black people are taught that white people are out to get them. When you combine the 2... you get a lot of cases of trigger-happy cops.
Let's face it, the black majority hasn't progressed as much as they should have by this time, so the typical point of view is to think many of them are thugs. Blame it on 50 cent and the majority of blacks in the spotlight......it's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Racism is strong, but it's not biased. It's on both sides of the fence equally.
