It has certainly morphed politically into something else, but it's genesis was the "self defense" shooting of Treyvon Martin by civilian George Zimmerman. The root of it is the appearance of unfair justice meted out against those who take the lives of black people. I believe there are some bad actors in the police. They are probably just as likely to use unwarranted force regardless of the perpetrator.

Quote:Yeah, whites already fought for it. Who else did? Africans? Nope. Asians? Nope. Muslims? Nope. As I pointed out earlier, whites are the first ones who abolished slavery. The fact that it exists in certain dark corners of the world is not the doing of white people and has not been for many years now. You remind me of Don Quixote fighting windmills that he imagines are giants.
I'm not fighting anything, I'm inside the windmill grinding the grain. But, I can see what's happening outside. My point is that your perception of Black suffering as something only in the distant past is wrong. When comparing outcomes in our society, more black people are arrested, and incarcerated. Fewer black people graduate from high school, or college and fewer black people have the means to run a business. If you think the answer is because they are black, then it is you who is the racist.

Quote:Yeah, there's a gap, but it's economic not racial.
It's not just economic, or racial. It's a good ol' boys club. You get excluded if you aren't from around here too. Women don't get the invitation either.

Quote:Whites are about 69% of the population. blacks about 15%. Blacks on average score significantly lower on college Aptitude tests.

I dunno, I'd say I see nothing unfair about the scholarship distribution, at least not towards blacks.
"Continuing an uninterrupted trend that dates back to at least 1972, high school boys outperformed girls on the 2015 SAT math test with an average score of 527 points compared to the average score of 496 for females, see chart above. The statistically significant 31-point male advantage this year on the SAT math test is the same as the 31-point difference last year, and just slightly below the 33.9 point difference over the last two decades favoring boys."

So, would you also say that males are just inherently smarter than females? Or, could it be that young women are discouraged from pursuing STEM courses? Might then the issue of Black SAT scores be in preparation? In fact, there are many studies that show environment at home and school removes the difference.
