[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we need a Truth and Justice Commission to deal with our nation's history of race relations, starting with slavery. There should be some sort of official apology for slavery and there should be some sort of reparations.

How this could take place, I don't know, but if there's a will...

Without dealing with the roots of racial inequality in our country, we can't eliminate it.

Beliefs come from somewhere. The anger expressed in the NYT article is justified, but obviously, anger alone does not accomplish anything.

Justice will not come in our country until the white majority relinquishes some of its power over blacks. That's a tall order, but necessary if we are to sit down together and start to clear a path toward a future where all minorities are treated fairly and equally by each other. It's possible if we imagine it.

The anger may be heartfelt but it has no place in the Times.

I would love to see the Times devote a small fraction of the attention that it devotes to the police shootings to the crime regularly committed by black males against others, black and white.[/quote]

You are delusional.  You would "love" to read about crimes committed by black males, but you don't want to read an angry, heartfelt op-ed piece about black oppression?

Ok.  Off you go to Cloud Cuckoo Land.[/quote]

During the 2012/2013 period, blacks committed an average of 560,600 violent crimes against whites, whereas whites committed only 99,403 such crimes against blacks. This means blacks were the attackers in 84.9 percent of the violent crimes involving blacks and whites.

What about this does not tell you that there is more black aggression than black oppression? [/quote]

One does not preclude the other, and in fact may be the result of the other.  Just click on any Wikipedia page on reasons for violence, for a brief overview of various sociological theories, just to get started.  Unless you're saying that there's some inherent genetic predisposition among blacks that explains the vast majority of this violence, which maybe is where you ultimately are going?  [/quote]
