You will notice that in America, Europe and Canada. In most cases if the suspect or a person they are referring to is not white. They will always refer to them by their race, whereas when they are white they will just say "suspect" instead of "(Insert Race Here) Suspect".

You see for example also with how they shoot unarmed young black teenagers and compare that to how they treated Dylann Roof like royalty.

But anyway, that is to identify the suspect more easily.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

You're right, we should just gun down every criminal.

Makes no difference, it is actually racism. Why can't people who are non-white get equal treatment?

You do realise they can treat them equally like white suspects but will not for some reason? They can be referred to by their hair colour and type of clothes along with clothing colour instead at any time.

There need to be restrictions in place that get authorities to treat people equally regardless of race, which also do not allow them to refer to suspects by race.

You've got a point, most people in writing will say "the waiter gave me the check, the manager was nice, the black family looked sympathetic"

While it is an issue, it is not as big of an issue as it used to be. Also, the media tends to make things worse than they actually are in order to sway public opinion. Not cops are bad people, skin is just a very easy way to identify someone.

Black lives do matter. Black people are human beings like us, there is corruption in the government that makes it full of racist hateful people. Especially in the police force who have a racial bias. We are all equal, no "race" is "superior". We are all human beings.

Racist emails have also been leaked from several police staff and president Barack Obama is also addressing these issues of underlying racism.

Racism and misogyny hides in corners like rats and must be pulled out of these corners one by one. Racism and misogyny have to be smashed.

I agree. Even subtle forms of racism can hurt. When people are surprised that you don't do drugs and like to read because your black, when people call you "black kid" instead of your name, etc.

^Have you even been on tumblr? Most people there hat anyone who is either white or male, or both. Here we just want police to stop gunning down and killing black criminals while simply arresting white criminals. We have proof of police racism in emails and recordings. It's right in front of you, so why are you still denying it?

"you guys are just savages that scream and yell and are obnoxious. there's plenty of successful black people in this world that have been perfectly fine and haven't been "gunned down""

Yes, there are successful black people, but what we don't like is how black people are treated as worth less than white people to police when it comes down to it.


"Stopped reading at "Black lives do matter". Getting some tumblr vibes from you, OP."

How would you like it if you had brown or black hair and because of this you were treated like a criminal by police and were more likely to be arrested because of your hair color.

While I do admit there is an issue, again, it is not as bad as it is played out to be. People get shot everyday, yet the news only focuses on blacks being shot by police. Why? Because it gets them views, it gets them money. What about all the whites that are shot by blacks due to prejudice against whites? Yes, that really is an issue. But it is never addressed because no one is making money off it.

I'm going to adopt a white child someday (I'm white too).
And send him outside to steal a BB gun and shoot strangers passing by.
And shoot at cop.
BAM MY KID GETS SHOT
It's my fault, I allowed a stupid kid to have a BB gun and didn't make sure he did nothing wrong.

[unrelated]
I don't think Racism affects our daily life.
Many people are racist in secret and in places such as home.
Who cares if they don't like black people, as long as they aren't going around bullying and attacking them.

I can't agree with you more.
If you listen to the station that Rush [limbaw or something] and Herman Cain and Micheal Savage and some last guy (the best) speak on, you have heard about the school shaming white kids publically for being white.
And the blacks act like WE are Racist.

I agree completely, racism is not okay no matter who it's done to, it's still wrong. Black people can be racist to white people too, and both of that is wrong. I wish we could all just live in harmony as one, humans. But for now, there still seems to be some problems.
