Prove it. Show me a poll where all Americans were asked about it and Americans agreed with what you're saying. I, for one, would die before I gave up my American citizenship for any other country.

Agreed, why are we all not leaving America, and why is everyone wanting to come here, LMFAO!!
What are we even talking about, anymore?
We should start another thread. We seem too off topic at this point.
To sum up this thread:
1. A poorly trained cop gunned down an idiot who thought he was invincible. A better trained cop and a better equipped cop would not have made that same mistake.
2. Black people are more poor than most other race demographics in the US and are, therefore, more likely to commit crimes than other race demographics. This is not a "black people" problem. This is a poverty problem.
3. The US is still racist.
4. Black people strongly distrust law enforcement. This is a 2-way street. Black people commit more crimes per capita (at least, this is how the FBI views it but civil rights people say this reflects racist law enforcement and not true crime by race) and cops are more likely to have a bias against black people while doing their job. However, that (that = the increased per capita crime from the black community) does not account for law enforcement racism that makes cops 6-8 times more likely to arrest a black man for drug possessions despite similar possession rates with white people (meaning, black people only make up a slightly larger ratio of crime on a per capita basis (by race) but the harshness by which police crack down on black people is waaaaaaaaaay disproportionate to that...which leads most normal people to think there is a racist bias in law enforcement).
5. The criminal justice system, at best, has a slight bias against black people.
6. I'm pretty dang awesome.
7. Cheesecake is delicious and we should pity our lactose intolerant brothers and sisters for they cannot enjoy cheesecake as we do.
8. Education and jobs are great ways to for the impoverished to break the cycle of poverty.
9. Star428 and SayWhat are probably both socks.
10. Americans are fat and need to eat less, work out more, and eat healthier.
What the Hell is a "sock"? I've always thought it was an article of clothing to put on my feet but why don't you enlighten me to the true meaning, oh wise one? It's an insult of some kind I suppose, right? LOL. Not surprised that you revert to name-calling like a ten year old kid. You're a real class act. I bet your country is so proud of people like you, huh? Have you personally met ALL Americans face-to-face to confirm that we're all "fat" or do you just stupidly assume stuff without any proof? I'm not even 170 pounds, know-it-all.

Sounds good to me about your awesomeness.
I googled the term "sock". What makes you think I have an alternate account on this site? Are you actually claiming that I'm also "SayWhat"? LOL. This is the only account I have here. Only a loser would do something like what you're claiming but then you do like to make wild unsupported accusations don't you, dadudemon? You must be European. LOL.
Another user added to list.

I didn't confront you either, just dropped some info for you.
As far as I can tell, Delph doesn't blanket all black people. He seems to understand that the rioters/looters are not the same as the protesters in many cases and he also seems to understand that not all the rioting/looting is at the hands of black people.

1) Meh, I still question parts of his story
2) Agreed
3) Agreed
4) Overall agree
5) Slight? LoLz, no. Moderate in the best conditions, outright criminal in the worst (eg Rodney King)
6) Disagree
7) Most of it is gross
8) In an ideal world, but agreed overall
9) Probably, especially the later
10) Agreed; I'm disgusted by most of them

5. My statement was an "at best" meaning, the best way the system could be viewed. This leaves it open for another position which is less than "best" which is closer to what you describe. Also, I don't think the Rodney King case is a great example.
6. You have never been more wrong about something in your entire life until...
7. ...now.
Why is RK a not great example, may not be the best example, but?
It's the case where we had video proof of officers acting like criminals against a black man and most (all but one) of the officers involved were acquitted after only a single day. One day. It's like the jury (10 of 12 white, no black) glanced at Rodney King getting his ass beaten while he was prone for the majority of the video and they went "meh, it was for the best."
If that doesn't show a broken justice system that is biased towards black people, not sure what does.

Officers served time. A harsh sentence, too, for what they did. That's not a great example of a "broken justice system."

Yes, after the fact and due to country-wide protest and one of the worst riots in history. In a not broken system they would have been indicted from the start.
