    Could someone please identify the racial injustice we're supposed to be fighting against here?

    I'm serious, where is this horrible race based discrimination that black people are being subjected to in this country? What are we supposed to be uniting against? Because I don't see any systemic racism directed at black people. I see employment and educational opportunities given to blacks in both public and private that discriminate against Asians and whites.

    What are NFL players uniting against?

    They’ve been given power and their extreme level of narcissism is craving more power. No one wants to be labeled a racist so nothing will ever be said about it. None of this is going to unite anyone. Karen Herbstriet can cry like a little cunt all he wants.
    What's so fucked is how we can't even really talk about the real problems in the black community and they don't have shit to do with the cops.

    I agree with this and managed to get my two college-aged kids, and a boyfriend, to think a little more clearly about this.

    I argued that, of course the cops are going to profile people who have a propensity to do certain things over and over again. It's not fair or ideal, of course, when that happens to affect an innocent person, but it's hardly shocking. We all profile people everyday.

    The critical question is, of course, what is driving the overwhelming % of black male crime in this country? I challenged them and we got into some good and heated debates, which is healthy. I didn't raise no wallflowers. I said, "if you REALLY care about the black community, you will put your sociology hats on and try to figure out what is driving that number. Honestly try and and get in there and figure it out." I cited fatherless homes, etc. To their credit, they listened and tried to come up with answers. Some of the slavery stuff came in, and while I indicated I disagreed with that, it was at least an attempt by kids in their 20s to acknowledge the problem and take a stab at looking for a cause other than rhetoric about "the white man" and "priviledge" and all that other useless sloganeering.

    But you're right. You really can't talk about it critically w/o running the risk of being labeled a racist, which is just fs.

    socio-economic shackles on the poor? get rid of the wealthy tenement/ghetto landlord that makes his money off the poors, and those shackles will be cut off.

    But then the city council/county councils/zoning officials/editors/media moguls would lose their cuts of the money. The media only bring up blacks because the poor whites and latinos won't develop the guilt us whiteys need to riot in the streets.

    @obk might be on to something...

    yes I had to edit this twice
