[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The story about the black Yale student is a simple case of mistaken identity.  This is not "walking while black".   Please don't even try to say that it is, because the "walking while black" is a real problem for other non-Yale students.  Trying to equate this lame story with "walking while black" trivializes the entire issue, and creates a strawman that deniers can easily knock over.

To the PP who said his white son was stopped similarly for playing "hide and seek", I have a question.  Was your son on someone else's property?[/quote]

+1. That NYT column was a joke. The same thing happens to people of all races (and I know because it happened to me, and I am not black). The real root of the problem no one talks about is, why do statistics show that blacks are as  a group, much more likely to commit violent crimes? Half of all murders in the US are committed by blacks, which account for only 10% of the population.

Let's solve that first.[/quote]

Most black people are not murderers.  Let's remember that first.  [/quote]+1[/quote]
