Great post jp. As far as I'm concerned I-10 is the Mason Dixon line.

Tell that to the folk in Arkansas north of I-30.

I always tell people the same thing when I hear this. Far more of this is going on up North.

If your trying to tell me that there is more racism in the North than the south you have completely lost your mind.

There’s racism everywhere. We all know that and it goes both ways. I just read an article about a white woman who died when she was punched in the French Quarter. She hit her head when she hit the ground and suffered severe head trauma. The guy who punched her happened to be black. I read multiple comments from black males and females saying “good” or “at least he gave her a chance to get up, she just didn’t “ or “one less white girl to deal with”.
Let’s all just quit pretending and say what many people are thinking. Things won’t be right until it’s open season on white people.

This discussion took a turn so I'll keep it going.

The most frustrating thing about racism is that it's not as bad as the media and the clown polititians want you to believe. They're doing a great job of fanning the flames and pissing everybody off, though. If they get their way we'll all hate each other for our differences.

Against my better judgement I’m going to briefly express my unasked thoughts on this from someone who has a unique perspective. As I’ve said before, I have literally lived in the North, South, East, and West. I can tell you that an element of racial tension/hostility exists equally in all parts of the country. I prefer to use that terminology rather than “racism”.

In Montana, there were many “Indian”’reservations and tensions were about a different group of peoples than in Baton Rouge. In Vallejo and Richmond California the tensions were different than in Denham Springs. Doesn’t make either one more or less. I spent 10+ years living In Richmond and 16 working in Vallejo. Look up those cities crime/gang/ethnic breakdown stats and tell me the South has a monopoly on “racism”.

Ugh. I better not. This stuff makes me so angry. The race baiting and hypocrisy in this country. its tearing it apart. And does no one any good. Its creating more division not diversity. its creating more hatred and anger. Not more unity and love.

The politicians, media and liberals are tearing this country apart. I don't see it getting better for decades. Sad. Patriotism and love of fellow countrymen has been lost in a sea of hypocrisy and selfishness. Votes are bought now with empty promises and selfish instant gratification. People have turned against each other and it just keeps getting worse. The USA still exists. Just in small pockets where people still love and respect each other. Where they're not looking for handouts and freebies. Where love of country and its people is still the norm. Not the exception.

Statistically, the overwhelming majority of officers are in fact "like that".

Quoting another thread - the for profit media continues to sow discord and division while stoking fear and hatred among us.

We have to continue to invest in our own communities (that includes improving police) and in turn each other because if there's a group of people clearly NOT interested in our well-being, it's bureaucrats and their advertising mouthpieces.
