These riots are now totally out of hand. Should have quashed it earlier instead of antagonising the thugs with thug like threats.

Yes exactly. I don't believe that there are stats for this kind of discrimination?

I have experienced this first hand when i was accused of shoplifting. I remember that i actually felt like i did something wrong in that situation to make this store owner think i was stealing from him.
It took me a while to realize that i did nothing wrong, that he accused me based on my race, not based on any evidence of wrongdoing.

I dont expect white people to understand this, they have never had their power taken away from them with one word, they have never had someone look at them like they are unworthy of breathing, they have never had someone look at them like they are sub-human and beneath them.

And yes @rietrot this is emotion, but what other recourse is their?
As mentioned above i have not found stats that back up what i have experienced, and yet this is just a microcosm of what is happening daily in the USA. I have friends that side of the world and they have ALL either witnessed or were the victims themselves.
I recall Martin Luther King speaking with boatloads of emotion, and there was some change, however small, maybe that is why i keep using emotion because its worked somewhat in the past.

If lots of black people steal stuff then shop owners are going to blame black people for stealing stuff. It's not the shop owner being racist. It is black people stealing stuff.

Talking about antagonizing behaviour. I wonder what would happen if white people had to start rioting due to the disproportionate violence? Brown and black people get very angry when other races hurt them. Or what about the overt racism being displayed? Not a breath about any of that from any of our lovely progressive forumites, or even the media. I was just not a few days ago called a white bitch and told to shut up because I am white for asking when Ice Cube is going to take down his fake news. Or is that justified because I was being antagonizing?

I for am one sick of the double standard.

Speaking of Mugabe we recall in the 80s when the left marched the streets of Western capitals over the mass indiscriminate slaughter of thousands of innocent black African Ndebele people by Mugabe's North Korea trained 5th brigade.....

Oh wait there was barely a whimper. On the contrary liberals were awarding Mugabe honorary doctorates for his services to 'social justice'

Mugabe was awarded the honorary doctorate of laws degree in October 1986 for his “exemplary devotion to social justice.”

Surprised she didn't blame Trump. But that isn't the whole interview, so maybe in another section.
