Two questions for you, Phil.
The sincere one: to what extent do you believe that black-on-white crime is racially motivated?
For non-violent crimes (stealing cars, robbing unoccupied homes), a very small percent. For violent crimes (armed robbery, assault, rape, murder), an extremely high percent.

No one's denying that racism exists in black cultures, just as it exists in almost every culture. but I'd like to know how many people you think are being mistreated in ways that has any serious negative consequences in their lives or being targeted for violent crime specifically because they're white.
Plenty of cases
here with enraged blacks brutally murdering whites for no apparent reason. You're going to have a hard time finding any criminal who's going to come out and say "I targeted them specifically because they were white" after the fact.
Personally, going through middle and high school with a very high % black student body, I can tell you that it was a daily occurrence of white kids getting jumped by 5+ blacks and having the shit kicked out of them for no other reason than looking weak and being white to screams of "FUCKIN CRACKA PIECE OF SHIT HONKEY MUHFUCKA".

The pointed one: The race card does get thrown about a bit loosely, true, but do you honestly think that so very, very many different people from such diverse social backgrounds would keep bringing up the race issue whenever they got even the most indirect opening for bringing it into the discussion if it was a non-issue, or if it had been at all adequately addressed or redressed?
Yes, absolutely. It's about creating a narrative to pander to your target audience, and glossing over or ignoring anything that doesn't fit said narrative. It's why any perceived white-on-black racism is blown up by CNN/MSNBC, and why you probably haven't heard of Christopher Lane, Jeffrey Babbit and Delbert Belton. Leftists love stirring the pot, just like the right wing loves to play on white people's fear of blacks.
That said, I'll never write someone off just because of their race, and I'll take a black conservative libertarian over a white leftist any day of the week.
