    That's definitely a big part of it but there are actually two more significant issues:
    1. The way you seem to generalize about all black people and think the statistics and your personal experiences justify the stereotyping
    2. Your singular focus on the black race to the exclusion of others. Even when you mention whites, it's usually only to highlight how blacks would treat or be treated differently in the same situation. Everything is tied back to blacks.

    If it appears i am attempting to blanket all black people with any given comment, then that is a misunderstanding. I feel like ive stressed this point in the past.

    The black community is the one that merits the most attention. I give it the most attention. No other aspect of my daily life sticks out more than this one. It's "low hanging fruit" as some people would say.

    You indeed have at times but then other times made generalized comments. You often say you call out the race of a person because it is just a description. Perhaps if you didn't always call out their race in your stories, I wouldn't get the impression that it is such an important description to you.

    They warrant most attention or ALL the attention because I don't see you giving any attention to other races? Is their race an important part of your experience? Would they be less of assholes, losers, etc if they were any other color? If not, why even mention their race? For example, If you care about welfare abuse, how many articles have you posted about welfare abuse committed by whites. As whites are 7 times the population of blacks, I am pretty sure most of the abuse is committed by whites. To me, what warrants attention is the abuse. I don't really care what race the abuser is.

    White people SHOULD be at the top of every negative statistic. I've used my own friends and family as examples of welfare abuse and stated that i was against it. I fail to see me demonstrating a bias here.

    Theoretically speaking.... if i go about my day and am offended by 10 people, 5 white and 5 black, i would post "people are assholes"
    if i go about my day and am offended by 10 people, 9 black and 1 white, i would post "black people are assholes"

    This formula can be applied to nearly every racial comment i make.

    So crimes are more significant depending on the race of the person committing them? Negative actions by whites do not warrant as much attention as those by blacks because they SHOULD be fucking up more? Giving one example of white welfare abuse for every 10 of black welfare abuse is hardly balanced considering the opposite ratio would be closer to correct.

    What I don't understand is why do you choose race as the way to count them?

    Because i'm not observant enough to notice the color of their eyes.

    I'm not sure if you are joking or being honest but that really is the honest answer for a lot of people who focus on race, they just don't realize it.
