Actually, racist ass cops is definitely in large part glossed over by "White" America because of the claim that the problem is really "Black America being comprised of retards"....so....
Do you have a legit scientific poll to support this?
From my experience, I can say that most Americans think that some cops are racist and it is a problem.

This is incorrect in the past tense sense of your statement.
Italians, from 1880s-1940s were one of, and for extended periods of time, the most discriminated against ethnicity in America. As I've said before, the "record" for the most people lynched at once is not African Americans, it is Italian Americans.
There are two reasons that Italians are now above the population average in socioeconomic Status:
1. Many of the Italians were light enough that they could blend in with their white counter-parts by cleaning up their language and Americanizing their names. But this does not even come close to explaining the difference: it only explains a small portion of the Italian American population. As fact, the vast majority of Italians that immigrated were southern Italians (just take a look at history to see why they were leaving, en masse).
2. The Italians came to America for very different reasons than Sub-Saharan Africans: they came to America for better opportunities and to escape a shitty-ass country.
To flesh this out even better, many of the same issues that African Americans face currently and in the past were faced with even more officially sanctioned racism and they (Italian Americans) still rose above it: To quote myself:
"...from what I found, all of those [racist institutions] applied to Italians: judicial system, policing, and commercial organizations were very much against Italians. I never knew that there were "Italian Lynchings" in America. There were anti-Italian laws, too. It wasn't just some "disparate impact" legislation, either: it was specific to Italians. There were quotas put in place on the number of people allowed from countries (lol). I guess it was getting bad. There were local laws, too, like no Italians loitering n'stuff."
And to dispute the first point I made above, inimalist had this to say:
"I'd just say there are far more salient historical reasons than simply 'blacks [or Italians] look different' or 'have different names'."
I also had this to say:
It was far more popular to be "dats racist against blacks" than it was to say "dats racists against Italians". However, if someone argues 'they just blended in", I'd point to the fact that they did not blend in, at all. They just forged their own place and hate died down as immigration died down....because they blended in to the minds [and culture] of the existing "whites".
Basically, Italians made their place, despite being lower on the rung than even African Americans, through hard work and assimilating faster.
If African Americans want to see similar success, as a whole, that Italian Americans have, they must do the same things as a whole: work their asses off so that in 2 generations, they have similar SES to the population average.
Ain't that some shit? Imagine if there was a paradigm shift in the subculture of African Americans that emphasized education and hard work? If you're not black in America, you really do not know what it is like growing up and being called "white boy" or "Uncle Tom" for just wanting a good education and a job. It is tough to overcome that and some do. Some tell those people "**** you. I'm getting a great education, I'm going to study, I'm going to work hard, and **** this shithole."*
*That's pretty much with the Italians said when they emigrated out of Italy. 😐
Originally posted by Lestov16I agree, black culture is stupid.
I'm black, and if we can casually refer to ourselves using a derogatory term meant to denote inferiority, I can make a few statements regarding their ignorance.As far as I can tell, the problem comes from a predominant culture based upon shallow materialism and superficiality, glorification of crime, and demeaning misogyny, combined with a close minded belief in religion which closes their imagination from the mind-expanding questions of nature and thus dilutes their desire for intelligence. Now as I said, not all African Americans fall under this category, but a arguably majority percentage do, and this reinforces the stereotypes which lead to such police brutality, leaving blacks in a perpetual cycle of violence and ignorance. Thing is, until blacks realize this, we will never truly be in the same social class as whites.
