Well! One unarmed white guy gets killed by a cop! I guess we're all even now! Let the healing begin!

As long as there's a double standard and race baiters like Sharpton, there will never be healing.

"Double standard"?

In the July to August of this year 4 unarmed black people were shot by police.

A 2007 study for the CHicago Report investigated 10 major cities adn found a disproportionately high number of blacks among police shooting victims.

In Oakland, California, the NAACP reported that out of 45 officer-involved shootings in the city between 2004 and 2008, 37 of those shot were black. None were white. One-third of the shootings resulted in fatalities. Although weapons were not found in 40 percent of cases, the NAACP found, no officers were charged. (reference)

Baby steps, baby steps......

The double standard I was referring to has to do with the lack of media interest in white people killed by black cops. Even when the circumstances are similar, it's just not news to them.

As far as blacks being shot by cops, blacks also commit crime at a higher rate than whites. Further, 95% of all blacks are killed by other blacks.

I'm not sure that's true. During NYCs stop and frisk period they found that white people per capita were more likely to have contraband (source). Also, per capita white people use and deal drugs more (source).

Further, 95% of all blacks are killed by other blacks.

And roughly the same percentage of while people are killed be other white people. I'm not sure what meaning you think that has.

95% of all people from Virginia killed are killed by other Virginians! What does that mean? Well, they live by other Virginians. Were you making a similar point about the legacy of segregation in this country which, despite being illegal in the de jure sense, continues to manifest as a de facto reality for large sections of the population?

I believe Veritas is referring to the proportion of crime committed by a demographic compared to how much of the population of the United States is made up of said demographic...

Actually there have been for several weeks now if you paid attention, it isn't just black people protesting.

Also if you paid attention, you may have seen gems like this involving police brutality against white folk:

Race has been part of the discussion because of how disproportionately blacks experience this, but white people are far from safe.

Not that that has anything at all to do with police shooting unarmed citizens, nor does the higher crime really.

Ok so are we to extrapolate that open season on unarmed black men is a go then?

I'm talking about the OP. I know whites have been protesting about the other incidents. But I don't think anyone is protesting this.
