No disrespect, but perhaps you've haven't picked up on the reverse discrimination that's happening in our country. Any color can be racist. Whites do not have a copyright on being racist assholes.
In our present situation, anything racial is magnified. Is it now right that only African Americans can dictate what is racial inequality?

I grew up and lived for 50 years in Detroit, Michigan and we were color blind and still am. I've got lifelong friends, never did I describe them as my black friends. Other ethnic groups nasty names aren't in my vocabulary.

The only times I've actually id a person as black in the past and other than my recent post is when the cops needed it for a criminal act. My neighborhood was 95% black since 1975 and I was the only white family for miles. Everybody knew everybody, we all owned our homes and took good care of them and each other. We're just people trying to make a living and have a nice neighborhood.

It started changing when families were getting fed up with the b&e's coming in from further out and they started moving out. House's became abandoned, slum lords started letting people squat and create crack houses up and down my street. Soon it was just me and my friend across the street, an amazing self taught blues musician and one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure and honor of his company and generosity. He was brutally robbed, so he had it and finally moved out as well. Was I targeted because I was white? Once and he and his buds made a point out of letting me know. All the other animosities wasn't about my color, we were just another house to hit or car to break in. Another friend and I both got roughed up and robbed a block from my house. They were equal opportunity crack head zombies. And I've seen all flavors of people at the crack houses all the time. So, yea, drugs don't care what color you are.

Just like police, a handful of thugs and wrong headed people do not indict a whole race or department.
