High profile, white collar criminals are mostly white. I have no idea the two black guys you are talking about. I am a little tired of freepers taking a single incident and trying to drag the entire black/hispanic/asian/fill in the blank as long as it's not a white guy, population through the mud. We can talk hitler, we can talk bin laden, idi amin, ghengis khan, or some other thug of any skin color you like. I feel it serves no purpose.

Hey guy, you started the race garbage and it's a SHAME you don't know who those two guys are...a damn SHAME.

I'll look them up for you...

Bob Johnson of BET.

Stanley O'Neal of Merrill Lynch.

Another link on Mr. O'Neal...he is a big cheese at a brokerage...he could be in some trouble, like white guys. Or is he a token Black...

"Asian"? You're lumping Asians together with blacks and Hispanics? I dare you to come up with examples where Asians have been criticized the same as blacks and Hispanics. There's a reason for that -- Asians don't racially target whites for rapes, robberies, and murders. My experience is that socialists are often hostile towards Asians, while conservatives usually embrace them. But I have come across a number of pc types who like to say among themselves that white conservatives are anti-Asian. You guys need to work on your rhetoric.

In your political correctness, you remind me of a well-to-do, white, socialist brother-in-law of mine. The guy is a foot taller than me, and in much better shape, but won't walk around the corner to pick up eggs or milk, at any time of day, no matter how much he needs them, because the store is in a black neighborhood. He's scared to death of crossing paths with blacks. When I stayed with him, I went to that neighborhood day or night, if I needed something.

In later years he would laugh at me, because I would visit my sister and him, stay late, and take New York's most racist, violent subway train (the A) home at midnight. Although my brother-in-law lives on the safest train lines in New York (the 2 & 3), he will never take the train outside of rush hour -- he'll take a taxi home to Brooklyn.

But get him in a conversation about race, and he'll talk the same nonsense you do. He considers me a racist, because I don't say things I know to be untrue, and because I believe in treating everyone the same. And because unlike him, I don't live in fear of black faces.
