Please, don't presume that I am a bigot. I am far from that. I knew that would come up in this discussion, because everyone is afraid to be open and honest. I was merely pointing out some of the common perceptions.
Why are you so quick to deny the violence angle? I don't think "I" contended that blacks are violent. Are you saying no blacks are? Are they less violent than whites or other races? Why did Jesse Jackson say he was relieved one night to realize the person behind him was white? By accusing me of being racist, are you trying to get me to ignore black violence?
I wonder what your real motive is.
1: "The black student helped reinforce the stereotype of blacks being violent."
2: "I don't think "I" contended that blacks are violent."
"Are you saying no blacks are? Are they less violent than whites or other races?"
I made no such assumptions. You were the one assigning a stereotype of violence to a group of people. You are the one who is using examples of affirmative action, Jesse Jackson, etc. to back your supposition that the young black man was the sole party in the wrong. Heck, you're even labeling it "black violence" when it should just be called violence. So tell me again that you're not approaching the subject with a biased outlook.
