You don't blame a whole group of people or race/ethnicity for what one person does.. - Gordon Lightfoot - 04-29-2019
I don't like Trump and never have, and never will, but I agree with him on one point, when he said that "there are good people on both sides" referring to the clash of two groups of people protesting and the killing of one person in Charlottesville, VA. What does one guy that got in his car and ran over a lot of people have to do with the group of people that he was with who didn't get into their cars and did the same??? They were their protesting the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee, and they had a right to be there..now, here comes the anti-protestors confronting the original protestors looking for trouble. And, this is what happens, if you look for trouble you'll find it, my parents have always told me that. One dumbass, young, got worked up and lost it, got into his car, and just drove into the crowd of anti-protestors. Did the anti-protestors think that they were going to a picnic?? I feel very bad for the lady who got killed, and other's that were hurt, but dang, if you think that there could be trouble, stay home!!!! Those people had deep feeling for the statue as part of our heritage, and had a right to protest it being taking down. That is what America is all about, being able to protest your grievances. But when you have two groups of people who are coming together and who are diametrically opposed to a certain issue...what do you think is going to happen....STAY AT HOME!!!! The anti-group could have held their protest the next day. Now, all white people are bad, and are Nazis, and haters....all those people who were scheduled to protest for that day are all Racists. That's just crazy. Yes, you have a right to speak your mind in our country, but schedule for an appointment, don't be stupid. The statue was taken down, and now we can all love each other. The End.

Yes we do. Under Trump we do.
This is exactly what is happening on the southern border. Trump has conflated the workings of the drug cartel and the political affiliations of Hispanics into a race baited, fear-tsunami in his emergency order to waste tax payer money on a boondoggle fence that circumvents private property rights, the constitution and public opinion.
Trump is blaming an entire race for the elicit dealings of criminals who have dark skin. Why don’t we do that here where most crime is committed by white people. White people are bad hombres!

Two wrongs don't make a right, Crazy. Not all white people are racist, and not all Mexicans belong to the cartel. Just stupid people believe that way. That's why this world is so messed up.

I voted for him in the Texas primaries then voted for Clinton in the Elections. I hoped that he would get off of what ever he was on, but that was wishful thinking on my part. Now, look at all this mess. How can one person be so destructive, and is flipping off our constitution that has lasted for more than 230 years. Simply Amazing. God help us.

In nearly every category white people are consistently the majority of perpetrators. In some cases it is two or three times the number of the next highest subgroup.
What it exposes is the systemic racism that is prevalent in the conservative media and on the tongue of the president.

"In 2017, blacks represented 12% of the U.S. adult population but 33% of the sentenced prison population. Whites accounted for 64% of adults but 30% of prisoners. And while Hispanics represented 16% of the adult population, they accounted for 23% of inmates."
So, while black adults are only 12% of the population they are incarcerated at a much higher rate respective of their representation in the population.
"Another way of considering racial and ethnic differences in the nation’s prison population is by looking at the imprisonment rate, which tallies the number of prisoners per 100,000 people. In 2017, there were 1,549 black prisoners for every 100,000 black adults – nearly six times the imprisonment rate for whites (272 per 100,000) and nearly double the rate for Hispanics (823 per 100,000)."
So, not only do white people commit the overwhelming majority of violent crime in america, but blacks are incarcerated at 6 times the rate of whites and hispanics almost double the rate of whites. Look at the percentages in the chart that I provided. Whites commit 69.6 percent of violent crime and blacks 26.9.
I will revise my earlier statement to reflect the percentages. White people are bad hombres AND they get away with it.

Whites have more money, better attorneys, and are more likely to have a medical diagnosis excusing them from responsibility. IMO of course.
