    I'm sorry but Michael Brown was shot at 6 times from behind, 35 feet away from the police car. He was fleeing and unarmed. He was not a fugitive. The officer had no right to kill him. It was murder.

    No he was not. The autopsy showed that all the bullets were shot from his front. But we don't hear that correction from the mainstream media. What we also don't hear about is the police officer's broken eye socket. I wonder how he got that?

    I'm not saying anyone deserved to die, but why is the media afraid to print the facts?

    Strong community and no institutional racism or in this case institutional anti semitism. The american class/racial structure wasn't designed to specifically oppress them. The Jewish community is VERY vocal in silencing any form of anti semitism(as they should be).
    Our politicians can't even mention the numerous human rights violations that occur in Israel without being labeled an anti Semite


    Much of that is correct, whereby proves my point that the simplistic nonsense that some people argue (racism = poverty = crime ) still holds sway to the more naive and usually have an agenda. There are many factors at play, including one which you allude to, community or in other words culture. Jews have always been fiercely community oriented people, have a deep value for education and a very strong work ethic.

    Polices pursued by the state even now have also damaged the black community a great deal even when a lot of these polices were designed to help them. These policies well meaning and sincere at the times have actually contributed to damage their incomes, wealth and educational levels.

    In reference to the condition of the African Americans, it is fairly straightforward. Of course when you don't suddenly want to converse about them, and perhaps bring up caste in India as a comparison, things become either more complicated or completely ridiculous.

    Nope I'll give you an example:

    I was walking home with a bag of beers when a man came up to me & asked me to give him one ( he already stank of beer & his eyes were glazed over )
    I said NO & his reply was " Is it because you don't like the black man "
    Now I didn't care what colour he was I wasn't giving away a beer that I had worked all week for & looking forward to enjoying & his reply really pissed me off

    I've seen it happen in shops/fast food restaurants etc

    Yes and this case is very simply a case of racism against white people.

    Only one person was killed. The only sources appearing to offer a racist motive as opposed to drunken thuggery are far right.

    Ah just the one so. Predictable. Would you say it was racist if four hundred white people were there and one of four black people was killed by members of the white group?

    I mean, clearly the guys who dragged James Byrd Junior were just thugs, not racists, the only evidence of racism is the liberal media.

    You know that not all 400 attacked? That they were helped by some black people?

    What evidence is there that Wilson is a racist or was racially motivated in shooting Brown...and yet there is reams and reams and ream of media either opening stating it or strongly implying it.

    You totally ignored my points about systematic racism. Its slightly arrogant of you to lecture me about the problems of my own community.It seems like youre suggesting that black americans aren't as successful as jewish americans because we don't value education and have a poor work ethic. Thats incredibly insulting if thats what your are suggesting. Black americans have been hard working since we arrived here 400 years ago. The US wouldnt have survived without us. We have also valued education. Many of us died trying to educate ourselves and our children. It was grilled into me that I have to be twice as good in order to be successful in the country because of the color my skin. As I have gotten older Ive seen how true it is.

    It is interesting you omitted the 'Racism' bit there, which was in the original claim that has been successfully debunked now. Of course there are socio-economic issues at hand when it comes to crime levels, I never denied that. What I did deny and dispute was the claim that high levels of black crime in the US can be attributed to Racism.

    If what you are saying is true and I don't doubt your personal sincerity or work ethic here but how do you explain the differences in incomes between African Americans and other minorities like Asians and Jews? Asian Americans have more than twice the average income of African Americans. Many of them (Japanese) were locked up/interned for years in the 1940's. There is more to the picture than just 'blame it all on racism'. I am just wondering what that could be?

    We often hear the 'blame' narrative from certain sections of society. There has been many laws like affirmative action (more like positive discrimination) passed in the US to try and give minorities help. However, laws like these have done more damage than good. Yet, these are sacred cows and nobody dared touch them or voice an opinion against them.

    Lastly, education. Of course there are African American families who value education. I continuously mention that blacks living in the US are the most successful, most education and most prosperous black population in the world. There is a huge middle class section of African Americans who do very very well for themselves. The problem is that there are less of them proportionally then other minorities. Why is this?

    You haven't debunked anything. You didn't answer my first 2 questions. You can't take a one size fits all when examining different groups. Systematic racism and poverty are the causes of the high crime rate within the black community

    Is it not evident that racism against a minority can have an impact on the economic, social and environmental resources open to them. This can lead to increased poverty levels which in turn leads to higher crime.

    It's quite laughable that you think you can actually lecture me about the problems and causes of said problems of the black american community. The answer to your query is a long standing system of systematic racism.
    The main benefactors of affirmative action were white women. You can't compare the interment of japanese citizens to slavery and Jim Crow.
    A recent study examining the job placement rates of recent college grads found it took black Americans twice as long to find work. Another study that used fake names and addresses found those with "black" names and addresses in black neighborhoods were least likely to be called for an interview compared to those with "white" names and addresses in white neighborhoods.
    There was yet another study that found that white dropout with a high school diploma has better chance of finding work compare to a black college graduate with no criminal record.

    Im going to mention another study that found it takes Asians twice as long to find work when compared to their white counterparts.

    I don't know what questions you are referring to. I agree you cannot take a one size fits all, that was precisely my point. People are different, groups are different. Groups have different values and culture that separates them, yet when I say that group A have a good work ethic it somehow means that group B don't have a good work ethic and everyone gets all offended with this.

    Are you saying that systematic racism in 2014 is to blame for 50% of murder victims being black, 91% of them murdered by other black people? Where is the empirical evidence for this level of crime and murder. There is more to this than just racism.

    a) Then why do Asian earn more than white americans on average? I am genuinely curious here. Why do some minorities do so well and others terribly?

    b) A panacea, god no. There is no utopia in the world. I just reject the narrative that often follows a discussion on race in the US. As I mentioned before, similar studies in Australia have found similar incidents of resume discrimination against non anglo names. Yet, we don't have Asians/middle-easterns and pacific islanders trying to outdo each other in the murder rate. Correlation does not equal correlation unless there is a direct link or study between the resume studies and the homicide rate.
