@LEO0301 Yes, you used 13% in reference to a criminal. You grouped all black folk into your reference to a criminal. So what I have been saying this whole time, that you're a racist, is true. Your defense is to call me a racist, but it's not true. What you said is the proof that you're a racist though.

And it's about time you responded to the damn question, with a bunch of other bullshit attached. What I gather from you is "Yes, it's alright for black folk to have prejudices against the cops, because I have prejudices against black folk." Thank you for answering.

@Hi_estComnDenomn - yep, I sure did use 13%. The black population makes up 13% of this country's population. If I said 5% would you know who I was talking about?

There have been numerous studies done recently that totally disprove the allegations made about police officers. That is a fact. Now, for sure, there are people who believe otherwise, and nothing I say will change their mind. It's that old saying "perception is reality." Usually the ones making the most noise have had encounters with the police because they have broken the law. Of course they're not going to be happy. It's funny how so many of those complaints have now been found to be false thanks to videos.

@LEO0301 Thats great and all, but i don't believe you. Didn't you recently type the phrase 13%'er when referring to a criminal on a chat board today?

That doesn't sound at all like you think most black people are upstanding citizens. Using a phrase in the context you used it sure does look like you consider all black folk one and the same.

Also, you didn't even touch my question: if it's alright for you to have prejudices based solely on your interactions, why is it so impossible to believe that others form their prejudices from cop actions?

@Hi_estComnDenomn - okay, I'm done with what I was doing, so now I'll answer your question. The difference between me and those who hate cops is that I recognize that most black people are good and want a better life. There is a very small percentage of blacks who commit the majority of violent crime in this country. FBI stats will back me up on that one. However, I still believe that having over 72%+ of black children growing up without a male figure in the house is something that needs to be addressed, don't you? I just read an article about a black male who fathered over 40+ children that was murdered recently. Seriously, who does something like that?!?! How irresponsible!
