People like heavy, Fast Eddie, and Samseau are often the first to speak up about anti-white discrimination when a fraternity gets banned or some landwhale publishes an article about "white privilege", but when a black man gets subject to real and potentially dangerous discrimination, they immediately try to explain it away and pin the blame on the entire black race.
And yeah, everyone has their racial biases...but that doesn't mean it's morally alright to blatantly insult or profile other races. The vast majority of the school shooters in the U.S were white. However, I wouldn't snitch on some weird/quiet white kid because he "fits the profile" of a school shooter...because that would make a human piece of garbage.
You may wanna ease off the throttle there buddy and work on your reading comprehension skills before making bullshit false accusations. Show me one post where I pin everything or anything on the "black race." Else keep your mouth shut accusing me of shit I've never done.
Here is my one comment I made on this thread that people can judge for themselves:

How much coverage will this "story" get compared to that other racial phenomenon that afflicts Milwaukee, the "flash mobs" of youths that gather in the hundreds to violently assault white men, women and children for the sake of sheer racist hate?
You're probably wondering what I'm talking about. Exactly. It was a rhetorical question.
Am I "pinning blame" on the "black race" here? No, not unless you call bringing up a verifiable fact (black flash mobs) to make a larger point about media double standards pinning blame on black people. The entire point of my post, which is clearly obvious to anyone who isn't a complete half-wit idiot, is to call out media hypocrisy. And media !=black race. So I have to ask, Agastya: are you a half-wit idiot, or is it that you just like to name and shame people you disagree with through the use of false accusations? It's got to be one or the other, and I'm not sure what's worse. Funny you just made a thinly veiled insult about "human garbage." Must have never heard the old saying about throwing rocks when you live in a glass house.
I made that statement when referring to people who passive-aggressively support profiling against one group, while vehemently reacting to the merest hint of discrimination against their group.
This was a story about an accomplished athlete who got the cops called on him simply for being black...and you immediately responded by saying "well, here's a worse example of discrimination against whites!" This is the equivalent of me visiting a thread about Boer farm murders in South Africa and Zimbabwe and saying "oh, you white people think you have it bad? here's an article about slavery!" Or better yet, it would be like you telling me that you got a beer poured on you by a radical feminist, and me replying "oh yeah? well I broke my arm last week!" Why is your gut reaction to an act of antiblack discrimination to try and one-up it?
Listen, this shit is equally bad both ways. I personally think the entire apparatus of the country is fucked up, and it's harming people of all colors. But I also think that is important to point out these acts of discrimination, regardless of race, and to recognize their negative effect. It's immature to start throwing tantrums about how "white people have it worse!", and it's flat out fallacious to argue against discrimination against your own group, then excuse an act of racial profiling because "maybe a tall black guy robbed them before?" I am not saying that you did the latter, Fast Eddie, fair enough, but I still take issue with your response.
As for wi30's post, I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. Yeah, black people have it hard...I wasn't at all doubting that. Similarly, I'm only calling out those who adhere to a racial double standard when judging acts of discrimination. And no, I'm not at all arguing that black-on-white racism doesn't exist, nor am I trying to excuse any acts of discrimination that have happened to you personally. But no, I do consider people who call the police for fun and actively discriminate based on race to be despicable, and my stance will not change on that.
"This was a story about an accomplished athlete who got the cops called on him simply for being black"
- Bullshit. He got the cops called based on his vehicle. I know two black guys that I sometimes party with that got their Rolex watches at this exact store. Both deal drugs and somehow made it in the door.
Out of every jewelry store I've ever shopped in my life -- this specific shop which I've personally shopped at multiple times has the classiest owner I've ever met.
You're simply throwing the race label around at others due to your own disgusting brand of racism.
Is it theoretically possible that one of his female employees hired for looks over brains acted a bit racist towards a black guy in the supposedly-suspicious vehicle on her own accord after the store was robbed by non-white individuals three times over 18 months even though the community is over 90% white? Yes... ...but until you've personally been to this store and met the owner yourself spare us your fabricated bullshit.
