Um, here you go, you racist POS: http://www.timwise.org/2013/08/what...le-a-modest-call-for-personal-responsibility/
"Predictably, white conservatives are at it again: blaming black people specifically, and black culture more broadly, for various crises facing the African American communities of this nation. In the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict, and black anger over the racial suspicions that animated Zimmerman’s decision to follow Trayvon Martin the night he was killed — and which likewise guide the actions of law enforcement across the nation from New York to L.A. — the same refrain could be heard over and again from right-wing quarters. No matter the source, the song remained the same: namely, that black folks need to stop complaining about white racism (which they assured us doesn’t even exist and hasn’t for at least 45 years), and pay more attention to the damage they are ostensibly doing to themselves in places like Chicago, where violence and homicide rates have recently risen......But even if we ignore the unfairness of racial profiling, not to mention its blatantly unconstitutional nature given that whole Equal Protection Clause thing, sitting smack dab in the middle of the 14th Amendment — and even if we momentarily put aside the evidence that profiling is not justified by crime data, and can actually be counterproductive — several points have been overlooked by those who think they have either the moral or factual basis to lecture black folks about so-called pathologies in the black community. And they are points worth noting, because they indicate that not only are the Negrophobic critics of black America largely wrong about black folks (few of whom they actually know) and black communities (few of which they have ever actually spent time in), but even more interestingly, they appear to be ignoring a number of data points suggesting serious cultural rot in the white community, to which they might wish to turn their attention. Especially seeing as how they love to inveigh about “personal responsibility.” What better way for white people to take personal responsibility, after all, than to stop hectoring blacks and perhaps begin to clean up our own behavioral back yards."- Tim Wise ( a "white man").

In one of the starkest differences, 73% of blacks said they believe George Zimmerman would have been arrested if Trayvon was white, while 33% of whites agreed. The majority of whites polled — 52% — said race made no difference in the case.
So that means of the persons polled, 2/3 of blacks and 1/3 of whites believed that if the races were reversed, the perp (Zimmerman) would have been arrested, and almost half, 48 % believed that race played an important role in the case.....about the same % who voted for Mitt Romney, which the right would claim as "significant".
No one is hating on "whites". No one is being racist, save team Zimmerman, and no one has painted themselves into a corner.
Apparently, the entire world did not agree with the verdict, and you have no evidence to support that ridiculous allegation. And it could be easily said of you that you're only seeing the situation the way you think it is (or should be) "regardless of the facts". Colin (not "Colon") Powell, obviously either had a mea culpa, or experienced remorse, for allowing himself to be "played" by the Bush administration, when he testified "falsely" about Saddam having WMD, before the UN. He says as much in his book. However, who knows the real reason he decided to endorse Barack Obama, at the "11th hour", in both 2008, and 2012....perhaps it was to "stick it" to the administration and the Republicans who he felt had betrayed him. And oh, let's see.....when he was on Bush's team, he wasn't racist, and he was vastly admired and respected by Republicans, and, no doubt, "you", but when he decided to endorse Barack Obama, due to disillusionment, he was looking through "racially tainted glasses"???? Got it. Absurd.
And who died and made you "the decider" of who is right and who is wrong? Darling, you're in denial of your own prejudiced/biased/and racist views.
Made up racial crap??????

This is an expose' of your side's "made up racial crap", which says " a widespread black-on-white crime spree is a statistical absurdity." In other words, the stats about blacks committing more crimes than whites or more crimes against whites is bogus. A fiction. A lie. Falsified data. So put it to rest.
