>>4073875>That idea is specifically American No, variations on the theme of a pan-European identity were present in European writings before America existed.
>>4070012>If you had any understanding of criminal justice you'd realize that blacks are more likely to be convicted than their white counterpartsIt's rare that you see this stupid argument applied to murder.
Yes, blacks are convicted more often for the same crimes as whites, but no, it's not just because of "racism." Blacks are more likely to have longer rap sheets, more likely to have committed a more brutal version of the "same" crime, more likely to act out in court and draw the ire of the jury...on and on.
In the case you mention, the black officer - with a record of 3 complaints against him in 21 months, one for assault - shot a white woman "in self-defense" who was calling the cops TO REPORT A SEXUAL ASSAULT. And people are outraged he was convicted...? The dude literally shot the woman as she was walking up to the squad car, AFTER he and his partner had declared the situation all-clear and safe.
The counter-examples the news media have given are of officers of various races shooting or otherwise killing black people who were RESISTING ARREST. And yet, the officers were criticized and there is outcry every time they are not convicted!
Take the counter-example of Darren Wilson shooting Mike Brown, for example. Brown was not only leaving the scene of a crime, he assaulted Wilson, he tried to get Wilson's gun (and it ended up firing, so he came close to getting enough power over it to shoot Wilson), he initially tried to run away and then he tried to charge the officer. Wilson shot him non-fatally several times before finally making a lethal shot, and Wilson prior to the incident was a MODEL officer for years with praise for his ability to defuse tough situations. Result? NATIONAL WITCH HUNT.
You're seriously a goddamn moron if you really believe the system is biased AGAINST blacks.
