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.

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.

Doesn't matter where it started. It matters when it ends. Hasn't ended yet.

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.

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?

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.

I reply in the order that I read the posts. I didn't skip ahead.

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?

Nope. You never heard of what the Native Americans did to the settlers? Even after peace treaties were signed?

Careful there Jiro - your racial bias is showing.

or how about this? a black person/people get a death penalty or prison sentence that is grossly disproportionate to crime for which it is meted out. worst of all - innocent black person would get wrongly arrested and convicted regardless of proof of his innocence.

What about Korean on Korean hate crimes? Don't North Koreans bomb South Koreans as well as starve their own people so they can buy more faulty warheads that will fall apart after lift off?

I know how old America is but as I stated America is one of the youngest countries.

Jiro answered the question of post #109, see post #159
You never answered the question of #109, if you did give the post # and prove me wrong
