All good.. the 90 percent was just a fabrication to emphasize my assertion. Division of man comes about when it's said that my God is living and your God is dead. However, without the fear of God it would be an open invitation for destruction. Maybe religion is a good thing.
First of all let me say that I do not support BLM simply because I feel they have caused more racial divide with their rhetoric rather than delivering their message for equality. Just happy I don't hear or see them much these days.
I see white privilege from a stand point since being on this earth as life being geared towards the white race more so than black. Television, radio, advertisements and just total acceptance and attitude. However, since the 2000's that has started tipping to a more normal level. A group of white beatniks walking down the street still has a different feel as appose to a group of blacks walking down that same street. Cops are more apt to take notice on the latter. I don't believe white cops are out looking to kill black citizens but that's another topic.
White privilege has many levels. Not everyone experiences the same privileges, or not. Saying all that,,, opportunity is there for everybody.
That is all good and all, but the simple fact remains, one of the reasons for people having a more negative perception of multiple blacks walking down the sidewalk together, is because the statistics show, that group is FAR MORE LIKELY to commit crime than a group of white beatniks. People are not afraid of wandering into heavily white neighborhoods, but there is a legitimate fear of harm coming to any non-black person wandering into a heavily black neighborhood. I know people who grew up in heavily black neighborhoods, and they got harassed and even beaten up and felt fear for their life regularly. I've been attacked 5 times in my life. Three times by blacks, and twice by whites. Thing is, I've spent 95% of my life hanging out with mostly white people. I'm from Minnesota, so its not like I had to even try. When I lived in Seattle, it wasn't like there were many blacks there, either. Same with my 2 years in Germany. Only while on base, around blacks, did I get attacked by blacks. Why? For being white. Simple as that. So I had very little exposure to blacks and yet got attacked 3 times, and in an entire lifetime surrounded by whites, only got attacked twice, and the one time I was drunk and he was drunk and I could have easily avoided the situation.
I'm sorry, discounting temporarily the reasons why, the simple fact is that blacks have CHOSEN to be more violent than whites have, on average.
I mean, you have seen the statistics, right?
