[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3076200, member: 66082"] The stats about how black people get treated differently by the police and the overall criminal justice system around the nation separate from all other Americans are legion and long standing going back many many many decades. Those stats aren't hard to find, anyone and I mean anyone pretending that all Americans are in the same boat when it comes to police mistreatment and violence as black Americans is a liar. It's just that simple. Whatever their intentions. There is a long tradition in America of infantilizing black people. Black peoples' words about their experiences are never respected, There is the requirement that they prove it. At the height of Jim Crow, black people had to go to court to "prove" that America was racist. Think about that... This is a very common thing, what is obvious to black people and objective reality becomes a source of dispute for others who think they are the arbiters. [/QUOTE]
