[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Of course people pre-judge other people. Everyone does it, and you do it to. It's a condition that humans suffer from. [/quote] We don't "suffer from" pre-judging others. It's served us very well throughout thousands of years of evolution. If we hear from our tribe that a particular color/type of plant/animal has a much greater chance of being dangerous than other animals/plants, we'd stay away from it. Only the most stupid people would disregard those warnings, and they'd usually die out before they had a chance to reproduce. It's natural selection. Black men are always going to be "pre-judged" until the underlying statistics change. If the people raging and rioting and protesting about racism put that energy into convincing black youth that it's NOT okay to mug people, carry around firearms, vandalize and terrorize their communities, then we could start to turn this country around. It might take another generation, if we're honest about it, but it could really happen. Instead, they demand that people ignore statistics and facts and thousands of years of natural selection. You can make all the demands you want, but many women are always going to cross the street when a black man is coming, and taxi drivers are always going to hesitate to pick up a black man, until the facts change. I'm not risking my life so that the black people who aren't criminals can feel better, although I really do feel badly for them because I know that many of them are judged for things that they didn't personally do. It would be much better if I didn't need to make that decision, but the decision is easy. And please, nobody claim that crime statistics are higher because police target them. Black people would be the first to acknowledge that there's a much greater chance of things being stolen or someone being mugged in certain areas, and it has nothing to do with the police. If anything, I think honest black people would acknowledge the fact that a ton of crime goes unreported in those areas, so the real statistics are probably far worse than the official records indicate.[/quote] Congratulations you are a racist. Please wear your badge publicly.[/quote] Counterproductive labeling. Typical. [/quote]
