Agreed again. Not every petty crime, such as [a 69-year old black woman being raped and murdered by a white man](http://www.khq.com/story/27409380/wife-of-clarkston-rape-and-murder-suspect-says-her-husband-is-innocent) should be construed as evidence of racial violence that plagues the USA every day.

You _really_ don’t get it, do you? This is the Pit. Personal attacks is what we do here.

You are a hateful, opportunistic imbecile. You don’t care about any of the circumstances of these crimes. You’re just cherry-picking anything that you think “proves” your predetermined conclusion that you’re inherently superior to people that don’t look like you. It’s probably the \*only \* thing in your life that you have to feel good about, because I can’t imagine that a judgmental asshole like you could possibly be successful in life. Or is that the fault of the darkies too?

You and your beliefs are poison. Crawl back into your home and take them with you.

Only a cock-munching, jizz-guzzling and vomit-inducing parody of a clusterfucking dickwad such as yourself would ever imply that the endless litany of white-on-black murder and rape (presented by yours truly in all of its cold-blooded factuality) can be classified as

Few things point out the differences between “cultures” in the USofA, than how people react to the police, and of course violence against the police.

Needless to say, the police refused to classify attack as a hate crime.

I’m sure you think you’re being very clever by typing “white” in your links when that’s not what you mean.
