By Louis O'Neill, published 12/8/2016

But if we wish to reform and walk beyond mere sanctimony, we cannot do so by simply exclaiming racism.

Hey Louis,
Thanks for the stats, I tried telling people about these statistics weeks ago but many wouldn't have it.
That Michael Brown deserved what he got and that white people are more likely to get shot by police despite black committing most of the crimes.

I never came out and inflamed the situation by arguing that "White Lives Matter" because I already acknowledge that "All Lives Matter" and that you can't cure racism by being racist.

One thing you did get wrong though, and the cops are completely deserving of the criticism they get for it is 'Civil Forfeiture'.
The police are robbing and looting the American public worse than the criminals.
Loretta Lynch has stolen 3bn dollars worth of cash and property from Americans since 2008 without ever charging anyone for a supposed offense.

little chance of truth when so many victimhood industries rely on perpetuating myths. When billion dollar tax payer suckers like the abc continue to tell only a tiny bit of truth to support their narrative and the getup twits tweet their lies then our society is in real trouble. The reality is that all lives matter although the tens of thousands of babies butchered each year in the mothers womb might disagree.

Leave it to America to sort out. We have enough problems of our own with the 'race' question.

While there may be a grain of truth in what you're claiming?

It is also true that (white, black, brown and brindle) racism is alive and well today, in the land of the dollar bill!

Partly due to the abject apathy of African Americans and others, who invariably sit on their large lard arses endlessly complaining about the state of the nation and perceived injustice?

Instead of just getting up off of their bone lazy tired backsides, and just getting out to vote whenever they are accorded that longed for personal freedom! Trump that!

Freedom that other folk are dying in droves just to try to obtain!

Yes sah, that might require huge sacrifice like standing in the winter rain, or under the inevitable umbrella in the summer heat for most of the day?

And just too tough for the average African American or Hispanic!? Easier to riot and get a few folk killed? THat'll help!?

Stop whining about whitey/social injustice and waddle out and vote for real change! Even where that requires a degree of ponderous propulsion?
