Hello everybody
It was a long time I haven't written any in this forum


I got a doubt that I have no clue how to write it in a right way....
I'm from South of Europe, unless I've never gone to U.S ,I've learned (and still learning) all kinda things about U.S (yes I love U.S and I fell myself like an american)


I now its hystory/recipes/monumets...etc and I'm getting ready to go there one day, also I'm willing to refuse my nationality to become an US citizen and give the best I can


But there's one subject about U.S that I can't find any answer where I live, and that's subject is (I hope to say it right) the racial sentimient (Whites/African Amercian/Natives/Hispanics/Asians people)


But above all between African american and whites
Ya know about the latest news when a white police "kill" a black guy and riots start.... But wen a black guy does some to white guys, nothing happens...


when a black guy films himself punching white patients only for their color skin


Or how my english teacher told me when He was working in a kidcamp, the kids usually do groups about their race (whites, black, hispanics, and others...)



I dunno know how to explain it, but it seems to me that African american people judge, stereotype and agitate all these kinda things more than whites or Hispanics nowadays....


I don't know if It's only my point of view, what the media wants to transmite to Europe or... this is a real matter in U.S is happening...



I wanna solve this doutbs I got, and If someone has offended, it wasn't my purpose
Thankyou everybody

(Sorry if i have any mistakes writing English)

Why does “more” matter so much?

Well, how many bombs have blacks as a race dropped on Europe? How many blacks have armies of government funded police and military united and actively pursuing whites to kill for being on, touching, or even sitting in the wrong (well-manicured and quiet) place in someone’s property? How many blacks have built gated communities for blacks to keep the lower whites out? Those numbers are extremely low compared to whites and their government/law protected assaults on blacks. Presidents have ordered certain blacks to be shot and killed for offending white people and white property.

See, the obvious differences created by nature and then labeling of people by intellect and physical traits has come back to bite us all in a bad way. That’s all it is. Blacks did not build anything, whites built everything for themselves and become immediately angered and sometimes violent over what they say blacks owe them, although blacks didn’t create, build, or destroy any group of people by bombs and genocide. According to whites people own testing, we blacks are not genetically capable of organizing in great numbers and corralling other races for our pleasure. Whites are the only ones doing that. Whites own everything that has happened in the world they built, good and bad.

Hello - and I think your English is coming along nicely!

I have lived and worked around the US (also lived in Germany and Japan), but I am predominately Southern. If you are familiar with the US, you may realize that the southern states generally have the highest percentage of African Americans in their population.

Here's my take on it:

I've personally never had a problem with AA people in real life. None have been rude to me, let alone aggressive. That being said, personally I don't blame the AA community for having some angst and even anger. Their community has had the deck stacked against them for about 300 years so two generations of opportunity and change is not enough to rectify all the harm that was done to their ancestors and family infrastructure - this has long reaching effects.

I don't like militant behavior though in anyone. It's a turnoff to me. I don't know anyone who acts that way but maybe it's just because of my personality and who I hang out with.

I do think that racial differences are played up by the media. I mean, they make news BECAUSE they are not the norm. The vast majority of Americans simply don't want turmoil or community angst, no matter what color their skin is.

The media will make it seem like Blacks are hunted down everyday. Yes, we have unfortunate cases of mistreatment but then there are times where the full story isn't be told and revealed. The mainstream media (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, etc) all have to follow and spout certain narratives by their elite handlers. In order to cause racial tension and divide and that divide brings much more easy control. Good news equals bad news for the mainstream media but bad news equals good news (increased ratings and furthering the nefarious agenda). The mainstream media will fan the flames of racism, to incite more divide. Unity among the people is the last thing they want.

There are too many cases of white police officers mishandling black men, and far too many unnecessary deaths while in custody. I deplore it, as many Americans do. It seems to me that some police officers stereotype black men, as being criminals, even in benign situations. And it also seems to me that ordinary white people like me do the same, feeling threatened simply by their presence in innocent situations.

Hmm? The media’s fault? Most blacks in America choose not to live and work with whites. Most whites in America and around the world choose not to live and work with blacks. It has much more to do with family and natural belonging than any sort of media influence.

OP, I'll give you two points as food for thought.

1. Remember, the media print only the sensational news. They rarely provide stories about ordinary people doing good things; African American people creating a school to better prepare children to qualify for university admission, for example. Or AA churches running charitable projects in their communities. Have you ever seen stories like that in your media?

2. Who holds the political power in the US? Which ethnic group, mainly? So if that ethnic group (and its police force) abuses someone of a different ethnic group, is that an abuse of power? If a member of an ethnic minority beats up someone of the dominant ethnic group, is that an abuse of power? What power? What power do members of marginalized groups have, in the US? Is it a crime? Of course. But is it abuse of power? Does the public have the right to know about the dominant power structures abusing their power? Or is it ok if the media hides that, so nobody knows?

What is rational is realizing black people are not linked to any other races in the same way as all other races are linked with each other. Emotions have nothing to do with facts. Believe it or not, we blacks have always been in our own separated category, far removed from everyone else. Why do you think that is? Coincidence?

No, "the media" doesn't make it seem like Blacks are hunted down every day. But the abuse does happen all too frequently.

Yes, the whole story often isn't told...by the police. Cover up after coverup after coverup, even to the point that sometimes they turn off their vest cameras.

The more liberal doesn't have "elite handlers" anymore than FOX news has a conservative "elite handler" named Murdoch.

No, "bad" is what makes it news.

And unity is certainly not what FOX news attempts.
