I know it may be hard, but such arguments should not be taken so personally.

For example, the evidence is fairly clear that males are genetically predisposed to criminality moreso than females.

But Whatever predisposition may exist, I am a male. But I am still not a criminal.

You see what I mean?

That cuts both ways. For example, someone who holds this view of blacks affects me personally simply due to my skin color. Now, using this logic, would one know right off the bat that I'm a husband, father, church deacon, and business owner, or, would they see "thug" because I have a FUBU jersey on with cornrows?

So, how is that fair to view me in such a manner that contradicts what I actually am? If you are not a racist, is it fair to me to view you as one with no supporting evidence just because you are white?

I don't think so.
