Very interesting comment.
Yea, it is probably the case that its more likely that whites fear blacks rather than the other way around. That's one of the big reasons so many of us racist white folk self-segregate. While we don't actually hate black people, we don't want to suffer the consequences of being white in the US.
Plenty of racist things we need to address in this country? Probably, maybe, but the elephant in the room that no one discusses is that the automatic labeling of white people as racist, the constant drum beat of accusations of "white privilege" by the leftist white elites and the Black Academics and Black leadership has created another real problem. That problem, which will probably never be addressed because no one wants to acknowledge it exists. And what is that problem? Well, to the extent that it appears that the "American" elites and political class has bought into this white privilege/all whites racist idea, an increasing number of whites have come to identify this as the "American" stance and find themselves increasingly becoming anti-American.
As to Anne Hathaway? She's the perfect example of White "American" Leftist privilege.
en.wikipedia.org...
Hathaway attended Brooklyn Heights Montessori School and Wyoming Elementary School in Millburn.[11] She graduated from Millburn High School, where she played soccer and participated in many plays, including Once Upon a Mattress, in which she portrayed Winnifred.[12] Later, she appeared in other plays like Jane Eyre and Gigi, at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse.[13] She studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1993 and became the first teenager admitted into the Barrow Group Theater Company's acting program.[14][15] She spent several semesters studying as an English major and political science minor at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York,[16] before transferring to New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study.[17] She has stated that she would have become either an English teacher or psychologist if she were not acting.[18]
Hathaway married actor and businessman Adam Shulman on September 29, 2012, in Big Sur, California in a traditional Jewish ceremony.[163] She gave birth to their son in 2016.[164] That year, Hathaway purchased an apartment worth $2.55 million in Upper West Side, a neighborhood in Manhattan where she lives with Shulman and their child.
I kinda doubt she's ever seen East St. Louis or Detroit, but she can talk the talk of "white privilege". She's a shining example of a "Great American".

So according to this I should feel safer buying drugs from white people but would be much safer working with and dating black people.

nvm I found it.
From the list:
All homicides White:45% blacks:52%
Circumstances
murder: White: 38% black: 59%
sex related: whites: 54% black: 43%
drug related: White: 33% Black:65%
Gang related: White: 53% Black: 42%
workplace: White:70% Black: 25%
So more blacks are killing overall.
Blacks are seem to be doing it because of drugs and anger while whites are doing it because of sex, workplace frustrations and gang activity.
Interesting to note that more white gang members kill people than black ones do.
Not surprised that more murder happens in the black community than the white because of drugs.
Also not surprised that white people murder more co workers than black people do.
So according to this I should feel safer buying drugs from white people but would be much safer working with and dating black people.

Yes, that is the video, let me know what you think. I feel like he makes a lot of sense.
10. Having white people say we’re exaggerating these issues. This isn’t so much a fear as a chronic and sometimes debilitating annoyance. It seems that no matter how much we can statistically demonstrate that racism is pervasive and damages us on many levels, there are white people who fight us tooth and nail with arguments that life is not as challenging for us as we say it is. I’ve given up convincing white people about the harsh realities of my life as a black man. I’ll devote that energy to fighting for my black liberation in our very racist society.

So now we are throwing out the words " White Supremicist" even before it is a verifiable fact, that is typical SJW technique...name calling with no accountability.

Don't like insiders spilling some beans or what is this about? I could tell you similar stories regarding my life as well. So what? I don't need to like her in order to debate her stance, if I could.
Which you didn't though. Blame the SJW's for actual social injustice happening on a daily basis then?
Anyone that promotes racial conflict of any sort is actually promoting social injustice whether you are able to comprehend that or not.
Bringing to light what may be a white supermacist killing and asking for an investigation is unveiling the truth either way.
Hear, hear!
I just read the mental illness goes hand in hand with racism and white supremacy and with recent racial tensions in Oakland how can we rule out white supremacy entirely?
Oakland, California (CNN)Nia Wilson was standing on a Bay Area Rapid Transit station platform in Oakland, California, Sunday night when she was stabbed to death in an apparently unprovoked attack. By Monday night, John Cowell, 27, had been arrested in connection to the stabbing, but days later, officials still haven't said what prompted the attack, which a police chief compared to a "prison yard assault." The random murder of Wilson -- a black teenager described by her family as loving and selfless -- prompted nearly 1,000 people to march in Oakland in a vigil for Wilson early this week, according to an estimate by the Oakland police. TSome have claimed the attack was racially motivated, because Cowell is white, though the BART police and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office have said they don't have evidence to back up that claim. Cowell's family released a statement that said he had been struggling with mental illness. ext But Wilson's family members and others in the community feel the murder should be considered a hate crime, regardless of what caused the fatal stabbing. "It is a hate crime," Malika Harris, Wilson's 25-year-old sister told CNN on Thursday. "That's how I feel, okay?"

I agree with him. I believe Anne Hathaway had some sort of script to follow - she is an actress. But it is not just colour division that the media pushes.............it's job is divide all people, to set humans against humans. What comes to mind is the wrestling scene in Django Unchained......the elite love to see us fight. Divide and conquer.
The video in the quote above was posted by you - does it play for you? Or anyone?? It does not play for me.

FBI 2016 homicide data
This is the most recent data from the FBI.
We can see a couple things here.
First and foremost, blacks kill twice as many whites as whites kill blacks.
At first glance, this would suggest that a black person is twice as likely to kill a white person than a white killing a black person, however... there are 5 times as many whites in the US as blacks. So, a population a fifth the size commits twice as many killings on the opposite race.
Using some rough math, a black person is 10 times more likely to kill a white person than the other way around.
Sounds like white people are the ones who should be fearful.
Onto a much larger issue, over 80% of white murders are committed by white people, and 90% of black murders are committed by black people.
In reality, murders committed solely because of race probably account for less than 1% of the gross.
You might as well argue that you shouldn't wear condoms because they are only 98% effective.
Anyway, all this BS celebrity crying is just a by-product from the agenda of TPTB. They create and keep everyone focused on imaginary issues so they can gain more control.

Its this kind of rubbish that really turned me away from the progressive left although its not very appealing to me on the right side either. The more time I spend in the centre the more balanced everything appears.
Balance is key.
Far left is a bunch of self loathing white folks, tons of ignorance, and miserable entitled ideologes who will die on any given hill verses reflect on their life
Far right is a bunch of racist farks, tons of ignorance, and miserable privileged ideologes who will die on any given hill verses reflect on their lives.
Thing is, most people don't know when they are far...most think they are just left or right...but otherwise pretty in the middle of that side....basically they rarely know how crazy they are.
The key to what, the status quo?
Can you folks still debate issues and skip the lables for a second?
