Yet another police shooting.

Seriously I can’t believe people who are putting the onus on the African American community. You will realize the issues are not that simple if you just delve a little deeper and gain a comprehensive understanding of history. It’s convenient to say they are thugs and are up to no good but you need to realize it’s the white establishment that ensures these people maintain this ‘status quo’. The white establishment ensures they never assimilate and remain a marginalized community. It serves their purpose. None of you will ever understand what it’s like to walk in their shoes, what it’s like to have been born into poverty and see no way out of it, to have doors shut on your faces because of your skin color.

They avoid the cops because cops are always out to arrest them for trivial reasons and love to use excessive force on them. Police racism and police brutality is a fact. This has been going on for a long time but thanks to smartphones the issue is just now getting some attention.

You know with the backlash against Muslims I would expect us to be more sympathetic to the African American cause but instead we just like to find an excuse for why they are being treated the way they are. It hurts when Muslims are marginalized for no reason but apparently the same standard doesn’t apply to Blacks.

Racism is so rampant in this world. The world stopped for the Charlie Hebdo massacre but 148 African students get killed and no one bats an eyelid because the victims had too much melanin in their skin.

You are preaching to the choir here. Nobody here is denying institutional racism; Like @Southie said in post #23](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=23) , blacks bear at least some of the blame for this situation.
