I was really just commenting on what was really just a stupid, inflammatory headline on the BBC website. I have to admit that I didn't actually read the article (too long & boring). So, no, IRDGAS.

You may or may not be right about the self-esteem issues, I haven't given it any thought.

Why do you think it's stupid and inflammatory?

"What copz'n'blax in the US do to each other"

The issue is what cops (including black cops, as you noted) do to blacks.

Blacks don't really do anything to cops. There's no equivalency, so your phrasing is completely senseless.

I think you're actually pretty smart, so I can't understand why you resent the struggles of black people and news reporting about it. If you don't like international news, and you don't want to know what's going on in the world, nobody is forcing you to read about it. Bigotry can be a sign of insecurity.

It's rather like asking 'when did you stop beating your wife?', and it simplifies a complex issue suggesting that all police are bigots. I reality, I suspect that most are not, but are tainted by the few bad apples. Similarly, I suspect that a majority of blacks are law-abiding.

As for "blacks not really doing anything to cops", I'll take your word for it. I'm sure you know what you're talking about.

Institutional racism.

It's a thing.

Is there any reason to believe that the military are any better than the police in this regard?

Yes.

Actually its both.

Good commentary. Will you speak to the rest of the bigots in the U.S., please?

There are a few conditions that police will sometimes react to: Driving while black, walking while black, living being black, being in the wrong place while black.

I know it is hard for you to comprehend, but racism, particularly white-on black-racism - is still alive and well here in many parts of the U.S. It is much more subverted now, but it is still there. Black-on-white racism also exists and is just as wrong. But let me subjugate your particular race for about 400 years and see how you fare after that amount of time.

The old saw that blacks "sold their own into slavery" won't cut hot turds, so skip it.
