Perhaps you should take up political studies.
Because this whole racism with the police thing is nothing but lies.
Don't get me wrong, there are cops in the U.S. who are racist, but it isn't like this number has increased, more media coverage just makes it look bad.
Black leaders will also tell you that the violence levels in America are unchanged police wise, and most violence that comes upon black races is actually due to black on black aggression.
Btw, before I continue, I am not white. I am Spanish.
Police brutality is the actual crime, but it isn't just done to one race.
That is proposterous. Do people really wish to believe that race actually matters anymore?
If you f*cking point a gun at someone or are being suspicious your just asking to be put down.
Do I think police brutality is necessary? NO. Do I think it is racial? NO. Rascism is universal. Racist people exist all over the world. We are only the focus, because of mistakes that people have made prior to MLKJr. Our image is tainted upon this notion, and will be a curse for the rest of our existence.

I do appreciate your input, but this video does not in any way represent my personal view on this matter. I simply posted something I found interesting desiring to hear the views of others.

While I agree there is racism in America, and that in certain areas the police force are corrupted by it, I believe that calling whites "Crackers" and starting riots - not to mention casual racism - is not going to solve any problem. MLK would be turning in his grave. Reverse racism is simply racism; alliteration doesn't make it OK. What would really solve the problem is a second coming of a MLK-esque figure - someone to prove we are truly equal - because all races hold stereotypes and think they are more entitled to something than the other along with the whole superiority complex they all hold. Britain, America and all other countries built off of imperialism and slavery owe it to the people of the nations they mistreated in order to correct the past and make us all have equal opportunities in the future. However, my white mother was not a slave master, nor does she partake in any racist behavior. Therefore, she is not guilty and should not have to subject to reverse racism.

TL;DR: Both sides are flawed because they fail to see past the black/white factor and retaliate to everything in all ways.

Racism is a system of beliefs established by a dominant race to ensure oppression of one, and the benefit of theirs, this only fits one color that I know of... As far as being a bigot, I think we are all guilty of that, as well as stereotyping. Racism wouldn't be an accurate description of what the media is portraying about police brutality, this is a combination of many factors, some being of incompetence and entitlement. But I won't go too deep into this, because everyone thinks they're right.
