I am so tired of white men being portrayed as stupid, insensitive and unintellegent.
unintelligent
Listen to the hole message instead of picking on one thing. Maturity at its best people.

White men are on top because of their history of violence!
WRONG Whites are on top because we developed more advanced technology, better boats, better weapons, and far superior social organizations which rewarded individuals for their efforts. There are vast numbers of reasons why whites are on top, and none of them have anything to do with violent tendencies. You belief in this is based on nothing but your racist point of view.

Well duh, all white males have "connections".
Seriously, Bush - and his family - represent "white males" as much as O.J. Simpson represents black males.
Or are you part of the Idiot's Club that believe there's some "Old Boys Network" for whatever job, because white males get employed over non-whites/females because they have better skills?

B)Whites do commit more violent crime than blacks!! (Gross numbers, not percentages)
Correct, but while "white" (includes North Africans, Egyptians etc) Americans form 60% of the U.S. population, "African-Americans" form 13% of the U.S. population blacks commit 46.9% of crime, while "whites" (I'm assuming this - as with most Bureau of Justice Statistics - defines hispanics as white too) commit 50.9% of homicidal crimes.

Like O.J. Simpson?

Well actually, whites are largely on top by accident of history - the Plagues led to a massive loss of population, which led to a situation where Europe had to get more former serfs into skilled trades, which led to a large middle class for the first time in history and a huge scientific and technological leap forward.
With those skills and technology, Europeans then perfected the art of seafaring piracy and expropriatory colonialism, and the rest, as they say, is history...
There is an excellent book that examines the phenomenon: Guns, Germs, And Steel by Jared Diamond.
European civilization wasn't dominant because whites have some kind of inherent biological superiority or because whites are "more violent" than anyone else - Europeans just got "lucky" - by being mostly wiped out at one point.
Had history gone a little differently, had dopey medieval Europeans not killed off half the continent's cats for weird religious reasons, thus leading to an explosion of the rat population that spread the plague everywhere, history could have gone completely differently, and now we would be complaining about Arab or Mongol or Chinese domination...

Indeed, given relative crime rates as well as rates of interracial encounter, random chance would have predicted the ratio of black-on-white to white-on-black victimization at roughly 7.4 to one. Yet, as the data makes clear, there were only 4.5 times more black-on-white crimes than white-on-black crimes in 2002. In other words, given encounter ratios, black criminals victimize whites less often than could be expected, while white criminals victimize blacks more often than could be expected!!
Peace!!

Also to begin with, the white victim totals in the Justice Department's victimization data include those termed Hispanic by the Census, since nine in ten Latino/as are considered racially white by government record-keepers. Since Latinos and Latinas tend to live closer to blacks than non-Hispanic whites, this means that many "white" victims of "black crime" are Latino or Latina, and that in any given year, the majority of black crime victims would be people of color, not whites!!

Clarke also wrote an introductions to Michael Bradley's The Iceman Inheritance, a kind of Protocols for the white race. Bradley states his thesis simply enough: 'This is a racist book.' Racism is the 'predisposition of but one race... the white race.' According to Bradley 'the problem with the world is white men' and the problem with white men is biological. Clarke praises Bradley for his 'bold admissions and revelations' about the European's attempts to dominate the world through racism. The book is a cornerstone of the thesis repeated by many of the extremist that the problem with the world is white men. The solution to the problem is a world without white men.

So let me get this straight:
* When black Americans victimise "white" Americans, they're more likely to be "Latino", therefore actual white people aren't that much affected.
*******IT SAYS MANY, NOT MORE!!!*********
When "white" Americans victimise black Americans, they are European-white, and not "Latino"
******I DIDN'T SAY THAT!!! KEEP BUILDING STRAWMEN*****
(Y'know, this situation reminds me how the Justice Department has a "Hispanic" group for hate crime victims, yet "Hispanics" are magically transmogrified into "whites" as hate crime offenders - so the SPLC gets to whine about "raciss YT" some more! :@@
*****WITH LATINOS INCLUDED THE INCIDENTS OF WHITE ON BLACK CRIME IS WAY OVER THE RATE OF PROBABILITY, WHILE BLACK ON WHITE CRIME IS LOWER THAN THE RATE OF PROBABLITY!! PROVING ME POINT ABOUT WHITES BEING MORE VIOLENT!!!*******
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
****AND YOU CAN'T KEEP CREATING STRAWMEN FOREVER***
(Oh, and by-the-by here's some info on the "love-hate" relationship between blacks and Hispanics )
****STRAW MAN*****
However, his anti-white prejudice comes into the equation here:

Whites more violent?
Is this like the whole black men are better than white men at basketball/football/dancing, yet whenever anyone mentions the considerable dearth of black Olympic swimmers that's racist! We're all equal - the blacks just didn't have swimming pools growing up! statement gets thrown out by the same people?
