The cop clearly implies white people don't riot. That's called racism, not prejudice.

White people show a lot more restraint than blacks how about if I put it that way am I still a racist? Name the last time whites looted and rioted en masse? OWS? Seattle? The few times whites have rioted its been about a greater societal issue for a greater cause not about some punk that was beaten by cops or killed by cops.

Yes in my opinion that makes you racist. White people riot over sports championship games... even when they win! Did you miss the UK riots a couple years back? White people rioting over a 'punk' killed by cops. You know what else makes you a racist is that you attribute high crime rates and violence to a skin color instead of what it really is, poverty. Go ahead and look up crime rates in poor areas where there's no black people... is it higher? The other thing that has a higher rate in poor non-black areas... police using excessive force.

Society is pathetic nowadays! We label and use definitions in our ridiculously PC society. I guess I'm prejudice! I don't like people that abuse drugs, I don't like or care for illegals, I really don't like cross dressing Navy SEALS who desire to be women.... I don't care for liberal democrats that want to see a utopia of big government etc.
Wow I must be a real prejudice person! It's like you can't even hold an opinion nowadays about anything or anyone without getting someone's feelings hurt! Wha wha wha!

It sounds like your feelings are hurt because people offer their own opinions... when people that think differently than you express themselves you label them with the dreaded PC.
I can't imagine how hurt your feelings would be if you were stopped by the cops for just walking down a street.

Yep. White people always exercise more restraint, and they never riot or wreak havoc unless it's for a very important cause. :/ (BTW, this article is satire, pointing out how racist generalizations are S-T-U-P-I-D)

Yes I'm racist because I don't tolerate racism in others.
Or am I a race traitor?
I must not have any white friends. I must hate my entire family including my son because they're white. I must hate my boyfriend because he's white.
Or is it that I'm just the kind of bitch that calls out wrong where I see it?
