Has anyone noticed.... or is it just social blindness

Has anyone noticed the long list of "white men"...in the continual cycle of corruption and sexual abuse and fleecing the people, who are in public positions (government, banking, finance and business and family related crimes).

Yet, America seems to not develop a "don't trust the white man".

IF, a long list of "black men"... were in the continual cycle of corruption and sexual abuse and fleecing the people, were in public positions (government, banking, finance and business and family related crimes).

The all out rage would be, "don't trust black men".

The other matter would be, the black men would get long prison sentences, while today, the white men, get a slap on the wrist and get to take the money and go home.

Maybe its time America take a careful look and move on past the cycle and habit of "trust the white man" without condemnation for his acts and conduct. And give them the same punishment as they'd readily give to a black man.

Even recently we saw the white woman, berate and curse the police and the police remained polite, where as black people have been killed for a simple broken tail light traffic stop.

The killer of the people at the Waffle House, and the killer was not shot, yet, a black man in his grandmothers back yard was shot and killed.

The kid who killed all the black people was apprehended without a shot, but a black man with his kid in the back seat was shot and killed.

We see situations of black women wrestled to the ground, when there is no situations in the news of even belligerent and combative white women who are wrestled to the ground.

We see white men kill the family, white kids mass shoot up school kids, white kids killing their mother's, even now more white men killing babies and white men mass kill innocent people and there is no sustained public outrage, but if a young black kid kills another black kid, the rage and public outrage want to call them every nasty name imaginable and claim the whole of black people are violent.

Now we see this so called "white male" who call themselves Incel (because they can't get sex) who want to rape and kill women, and still no public outrage.

FBI STATS tell the real truth...https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/table-21

but,,, white society is blind to these facts... and only focus on the history of the media's incessant "over-dramatizing in continual cycle any crime by black people, but quickly bury crime by white people.
Even the recent crime of the young white boys who first tried to poison the mother, and when that did not work, they stabbed her to death. We've seen white men "take off" with young women, and the story fades from the news quickly. We'd seen white men kill their mother over a fast food order, and its fades from the news. We saw a continual stream of white men, who fleeced 1000's of people out of millions and 100's of million and it too fades from the news. We've seen a stream of white men in this Administration with every type of corruption and criminal as well as subversive conduct fade from the news. college white boys raping women incessantly, hazing other boys until they kill someone, and pledging racism in their campus cult groups and it too fades from the news. There's a very long history of atrocious white crimes, that society seems to sweep under the rug. Still, trying to push the image of white people as depicted in TV commercials, but even TV has incessant cop shows, of every kind of crime imaginable, many based on real life events, and still people want to promote a "white as innocent" ideology... and then call it an anomaly, when fact is, its saturated and escalating everyday.


In 2016,
69.6 percent of all individuals arrested were White, 26.9 percent were Black or African American, and 3.6 percent were of other races.
~Of all juveniles (persons under the age of 18) arrested in 2016, 62.1 percent were White, 34.7 percent were Black or African American, and 3.2 percent were of other races.
~Of all adults arrested in 2016, 70.2 percent were White, 26.2 percent were Black or African American, and 3.6 percent were of other races.
~White individuals were arrested more often for violent crimes than individuals of any other race and accounted for 59.0 percent of those arrests.
~Black or African American juveniles comprised 52.0 percent of all juveniles arrested for violent crimes. White juveniles accounted for 58.4 percent of all juveniles arrested for property crimes.
~Of juveniles arrested for drug abuse violations, 74.8 percent were White.
~White juveniles comprised 64.7 percent of juveniles arrested for rape and 60.2 percent of juveniles arrested for larceny-theft.


When people face the real truths... then it can over-ride the generalized "prejudiced mentality and attitude toward black people". It may even help white people to give more attention to recognize the criminals within their own community and societal environments as well.

but I have personally taken note, and it effects me on a daily basis. I work with the general public, and I've developed a sense of hyper-vigilance when dealing with white men in general over the last few years... especially the last year. All of the information you posted above is always floating around the back of my head nowadays.

Yet the number of Blacks in prison is about equal to the number of whites!

Somehow, whites seem to get off while blacks pay the price. WTF?
