Actually "it's hard not to be racist" is a spot on. Maybe Rich needs to be protected from his unconscious bias with some training or new rules.

Sounds like this dude and Shea are a perfect racist match.

That is to say, 90% of cases where one party is black, and the other white.

A little investigative journalism would have found those 2 incidents never happened. That’s the story. You missed it.

"Income inequality can cause all kinds of problems across the economic spectrum—but perhaps the most frightening is homicide. Inequality—the gap between a society's richest and poorest—predicts murder rates better than any other variable..."

I don't think I need to post a link to remind our resident race scientists that being black also correlates strongly with being poor.

"Black people facing the crack epidemic were making bad personal choices, whereas white people during the opioid crisis are now victims of a greedy pharmaceutical industry."

See, it's completely different for us white folks -- we're White.

"A Black man is roughly 10X more likely to murder a White man."

Where's the damm KKK when we need 'em?!
I bet you're asking.

i got stories. they start at the age of eight and go right through the middle of last week. i’m 65 and exhausted, so i should just go ahead and be a racist anti semitic gay hating misogynist and bust some heads, except dr king ( killed by white people when i was 14 in 1968 ).

No shortage of bullshit racism here...fucking privileged white crybabies.

It's hard not to be racist. Maybe impossible. But we should still try not to be. It's the best anyone is gonna do.

Jesus. Of course the loser racist dipshit brigade has come out. Who predictably don’t understand probabilities or math. And of course the FBI doesn’t count black people killed by cops in “homicide“ statistics.

Of ALL homicides in the US over the last five years about 70-80% were white on white.

No. If you are white you are orders of magnitude more likely to be murdered by another white person. (And of course leaving out that nearly 50-60% of homicides remain unsolved in the year a given statistic is calculated. And dismissing that many times race of victims isn’t always recorded.)

And of course homicide rates in general have been steadily trending down for over twenty years.

The trolls have to make sure to amplify, exaggerate and fear monger racial tensions at all costs.

Probably explains why everyone wants to live in Wallingford or Ballard.

Rich, can you just turn off comments on articles where you know it's bound to be an ass-showing party?

Speaking of the good ole KKK -- this, from the New York Times:

"A New Face of White Supremacy: Plots Expose Danger of the ‘Base’ -- A secret domestic terrorism investigation revealed that the violent neo-Nazi group was recruiting cells across the United States."

"The details that emerged in court and in documents from active cases in three other states — Georgia, Wisconsin and New Jersey — unveiled a disturbing new face of white supremacy.

The Base illustrates what law enforcement officials and extremism experts describe as an expanding threat, particularly from adherents who cluster in small cells organized under the auspices of a larger group that spreads violent ideology.

'We have a significant increase in racially motivated violent extremism in the United States and, I think, a growing increase in white nationalism and white supremacy extremist movements,' Jay Tabb, the head of national security for the F.B.I., said at an event in Washington last week."

Another smidgen: "Experts who have studied the Base say it seems to have followed the model of Al Qaeda and other violent Islamic groups in working to radicalize independent cells or even lone wolves who would be inspired to plot their own attacks.

They describe the Base as an 'accelerationist' organization, seeking to speed the collapse of the country and give rise to a state of its own in the Pacific Northwest by killing minorities, particularly African-Americans and Jews."
