>> You might not, but there certainly are a lot who do. Especially in the South. That has been a consistent theme for centuries Most people I know of in the South look at individuals, not blacks in the collective. If we're on the East side of St. Louis, we recognize we're in a more dangerous territory than perhaps in a different area. There are places in my own small town where I don't go. Not because they're predominantly black but because they're inordinately dangerous places to be. Yours is the same kind of "soft bigotry of low expectations" that GWB spoke out so adamantly against. You make assumptions based on skin color that have no basis in reality. While black crime is rampant in some places, so is Hispanic and white crime. I would try to avoid all those places. The racism that is shown by you and other liberals, including the president, is outrageous and counterproductive. You need to stop it.

CJ, Do you think it is just an accident that when one of these shootings gets national attention, the first thing the Right does is comb through the victims Facebook accounts to drag up some photos of them mugging for the camera to prove they were thugs? That's no justification for creating the "gentle giant" lie. None at all. The video proved it. The Left has nothing else to fall back on except the willingness of their own to believe a lie.

As a result, suppressed prejudice colors the way information gets processed. If that processed information gets challenged, there is a tendency to cast about for rationalizations to cover for what is really just prejudice speaking. Good example. Most people associate 'illegal immigrant' with Hispanics and see enforcing the border as the way to combat it. The reality is that most new ones are Asian who are over-staying their visas. Closing the border does nothing to change the situation. One of the interesting aspects of the shooting of the 12 year kid in Cleveland was that the cop who shot him believed he was 20 and called that info into the station before shooting him. Here is a photo of the kid that was shot.......I don't how recent it is but he does look about 12 in the photo: Its hard imagining anyone mistaking him for 20.
