    This is not race baiting. This is highlighting that character is what counts, not skin color. The first rule in a free society is "do not initiate aggression with another person".

    The white guy violated this rule. His wrong was the wrong that crossed the line, and I am legitimately on the side of the black guy.

    I want to draw attention to
    1. The way media funnels all its focus toward White on Black violence
    2. That there are clear instances where Black people ARE actually the victims of aggression, and I'm willing to acknowledge it when it happens.

    The media conveyed it as a 28 year old man shooting a 24 year old man, you brought up colour

    There's a standard in journalism that ethnicity and color aren't brought up unless it has bearing. Like, a bank robber needs to be ID'd as a 29 yo white male about six feet tall with a limp, or some such.

    Lazy trumps standard, and sometimes, like in the current tension, it's all about ethnicity.

    But the above is about avoiding violent people eating crap.

    Most of the issues being called out as race-based are in fact class-based. Until that can be reconciled properly, the race issue will continue to stall progress. First of all we have the class of the cops and their leash holders all the way to the president. Then we have everybody else.

    I have known a lot of cops and most have been arrogant pricks who strutted around like roosters and openly bragged about causing pain to people they were arresting. They're a bunch of thugs (not a racial term at all) who not only treat the rest of us like punching bags and ATMs, but they circle the wagons and cover for each other no matter what. Cops even run cover for other cops who rape children. They are a government sanctioned gang for the most part because corruption has always been at the root of their cause.

    We could argue all day about who is the most beset by who. But consider carefully how race has been incorporated into the class matrix. Black Americans used to have a substantial hold on their part of America. They had strong families, strong business communities and even good schools that the communities maintained (yes because evil whites in government short changed their funding, that was then, we have the opposite now). Yes, all of this was segregated and I am not about to suggest it as a cause of their success beyond necessity. Black Americans were perfectly suited for taking care of themselves.

    But one day the message went out that black Americans were not able to take care of themselves and that evil white racism was to blame. I have to agree, but not in the manner some might think. The problem is that the expectations for black Americans were projected as low by the people who were claiming to help them. The social workers (PERFECT name for the position) only wanted them to get what they "deserved" from the government. Long before school busing they sent teams of white teachers into black schools to bring their education into line with the white schools. Can you imagine this? What fucking right did they have? Now we have 1-size-fits-all education that ignores everyone's culture entirely. The only subject seems to be adherence to government norms.

    After decades of telling everyone that black kids don't measure up in school the issue has become a mantra. Slanted studies have had the nerve to claim there's an IQ difference based on color. This is preposterous but has actually led to the very policies we have today. Policies that have created cheating scandals all over the US. All because we have been told for generations that black people can't get along without a helping hand. They themselves have certainly been affected by this message. Add to that the way the "justice" system has fed into this. Our prisons are stocked with racial realities. But they were founded on class separation.

    Now add to that the other message, the one about white people. First, white people are racists. It's born into them and only them. As a matter of policy they are the only group who can be discriminated against legally. Since they oppress everyone else by simply existing, any and all measure of "payback" is acceptable. In order to drive this there are regular reminders of how inferior white people are as a species. They have no rhythm, can't jump, can't get an erection, they all have small ones when they can get it up, they all have a confederate flag in their basement, most have a pedophilic uncle in the KKK. Whites invented the tooth brush or else we'd more properly call it a "Teeth Brush", they have sex with first cousins and marry second cousins, they can't eat spicy food, they damn sure can't dance and of course they get sunburned because of their inferior white skin (yes, I know, all people and most animals can be sunburned, but it still makes a great stereotype since it's so easy to spot).

    Now, step back for a bit. And consider who has the most to gain by keeping these kinds of bullshit narratives going? Who keeps the population under control by pitting them against themselves? A police state does. We're all being led by the nose into it. But we're just certain that OUR racial message is the "right" one.

    I don't know if you misunderstood my point or sidestepped it.

    Trayvon Martin was made about color.

    Mike Brown was made about color.

    Freddie Gray was initially made about color.

    When black people act crazy / violent and get hurt, it's about color. It's about oppression. George Zimmerman was a hispanic fellow, and the media used doctored pictures to make him appear more pale than he was. He was called a white man who gunned down a black teen. This guy in the waffle house is a regular Zimmerman. That is to say, he was not the aggressor and acted in self defense. Maybe people don't want to acknowledge the crazy shit the media pulls, but I feel it's important to draw attention to it.

    There's a lot of good stuff in there, but the IQ part flies in the face of realism. Of course certain geographical populations have higher IQs than others, are more adept with mathematics and have more capacity for abstract thought and language. Statistically speaking, Northerners of the last glacial period are more primed for these things than Southerners of the last glacial period. It's a gap that absolutely can be closed if people start emphasizing intelligence as the most important attribute when choosing someone to have a kid with.
