I believe it is racist to say something is racist when a black man is involved in any way shape or form.

Right; it's just as bad to assume something is racist as it is to dismiss offhand any possibility of racism.

It's not exactly straining the bounds of fantasy to point out that white people and black people (and, of course, other races) are treated differently in society.

Here's another example of media bias causing shit to happen. In order to get ANY information on the suspect you have to dig on your own because god forbid the media say "black man burned unarmed white girl" like they hyped "white man shoots unarmed black youth." It works to some advantage though, because if the race isn't mentioned it means it was a black person. Not even Hispanics are this babied, due to becoming honorary whites like George Zimmerman as the Trayvon case played out.

Why can't there be any click bait titles with the words "systemic" and "problematic" littered everywhere about any black on white crime yet, and better yet the higher rate of black on black crime? #WhiteLivesMatter? Nothing?

I just don't understand why people have to be so sadistic. Burning people, shooting people. Drownings.. It seems like the rate o teen deaths keep raising each year to this stuff. Sometimes fearing myself to be killed by someone someday..

Luckily for you, civic nationalism in Canada makes it far less likely for that kind of stuff to happen to you. We had it in the states during the founding but the term is omitted now in history books because of WWII I'm assuming. Instead now we have to rely on the second amendment to protect ourselves from this. I say it's unlikely for that reason because when everyone is Canadian not black, or white. I don't want to go too far off topic with this post so I'll just link you to the wikipedia articles for a gist of what I'm saying:

Nowadays in America this fear you describe is felt and the second amendment has kind of gone from protection from the government to protection from other people.

I wouldnt say it wont happen to me. There have been reports on the news of this stuff in my area, a girl was shot in the back, only 18. She's a paraplegic from the chest down now. This kind of stuff happens no matter what, laws dont mean it wont happen, it still has a possibility of happening.

Scary shit.

I'll give you that, but this is part of a bigger problem than racism.

I thought we've been pushing for protection from other people since, what, 30-40 years ago?

30-40 years ago is recent as far as American History goes. In today's terms, defense of the amendment is almost exclusively in the context of self defense. But yes, you're spot on about the time period for a starting position for this happening.

I never said shit doesn't happen. It does, and it has to happen somewhere. The idea is that it's far less likely to happen in your country because of the different social setup compared to America.
