This is an interesting interaction and assumption you’ve made about Oakland’s stance on race. Especially since Oscar Grant who was shot in the back by an officer, after being pulled off the BART system and while lying on the ground, was racially motivated. Also, Oakland has a history of race riots, race based disparities, and racially motivated crimes if I’m not mistaken.

Nevertheless, I will say that it does make sense that, in general, areas that are more diverse have more overt racism.

I am in New York, which is extremely diverse, extremely segregated, and extremely racist. Police stand on every other corner in black neighborhoods only. I cannot go into a store, sit on a train, or walk down a street without white people tensing in fear, grabbing their handbags, checking for their wallets or moving wallets and handbags to the opposite sides of their bodies, even following me in a store, and more. It’s extremely insulting and angering!!! These reactions are based on nothing but race. I’ve even seen 80y.o. (black) women being followed in stores by security. Where is she going to run to? Who is she going to over power.

I came across this blog because I was trying to find SOMEWHERE in this country where I can live in peace and not feel isolated, like I’m the only African in the vicinity. According to this map, there really aren’t many places at all. That says a lot about this country — at least from your perspective.

What determines a hate crime is much broader than just race.

My map is not derived by any scientific means, it is just my observations of how people treat each other and the comments I would hear/over-hear. I truly hope all people will look fully beyond the color of ones skin, we will be a much better nation for it.

Thank you for visiting. I have Hawaii in pink not green mainly for the issues you describe.

In some parts of the country this would be harder or even impossible ONLY because you are Asian. And that is what I have a big problem with. That make my position a little more clear?

“I am very much privy to your point of view. I used to hold the same views as you. I hope you might at least read the first link before responding to me.”

In your first post you implied you changed your views because of the writings of the first paper which was published in a white separatist periodical. Believing in the conclusions written in that publication would be like molding your life after the book Mein Kampf.

“If you insist on still attacking me, instead of rationally debating my points, consider this my last response.”

Thank you for your input.

Now, if I was to query a search on which race of people statistically commits a greater percentage of crime, what would that tell me? That they are going to be black?
This is FACT sir, I am not making this up in my head. Do you have evidence to refute this? If so, why are we even arguing about this? Reason: you automatically assume that I equate Black = Uncivilized criminals. This I don’t, I have put much thought into this. Even though all the evidence before me suggest that there is a strong link between the two, I do not make that connection. However, what will the average American think? How will the average person who goes about their day to day life think when they see a large prison population full of Blacks? How will the average person feel when the majority of their encounters with this group of people have been neutral, or bad. Do you know why I think we have a bigger problem then some white southern racist? It is not because I think we need to focus on black crime. It is CRIME that is a threat, or moral degradation which ever you prefer. Now, how do you approach any problem that is on a scale as big as our country? I am not going to even try to explain that problem to you, the level of detail that I will have to go into to explain everything to you so that you do not misunderstand what I am saying would be obsurd and counterproductive. If my instincts are correct, I am already talking on deaf ears. But heres another lesson if you are willing to listen, in science, a law must explain 100% of what is observe in real life. 100%, not 99.9999%, if a billion experiments were made and I found 1 exception out of a billion test, I don’t call it a day and say, oh well, it’s good enough…I throw out the entire theory. In an ideal world, every human being will be as rational and self-aware of their nature as to take time and think before acting on their basic instincts and make a choice base on reason, tempered by love and carried out in humility. However, we do not live in that world, our very environments dictates how rational a human being can be (do you understand?). Our minds are tied to our bodies. Now, I take you back to an earlier comment made by someone about human progress, it says something along the lines of progress as a group. We make progress as a group, otherwise nothing gets done.

In Post 31,

You tell me that I do not do my research into who writes the materials. I agree, I do not know who wrote those materials, and I still don’t. You found in your google search that Jared Taylor is the head of the organization. So what? Does that mean that the information is wrong? You attacked the man, what do you say of the evidence? I do not have time to do this research myself, I do not have access to FBI databases and materials, although I could do this myself, what would that tell me? Exactly what I already know, would it not? I disagree with Mr. Taylor’s analysis base on what wiki tells me, but before I talk to him; I will reserve my opinion of the man. If this was a debate, at this particular point, I would be ahead of you Ouch. I give evidence and reason, you give me neat predictable responses that are little more than personal attacks base on your own emotions. I have been a little emotional in my responses to your map, but only because I think It is enormously unfair to my fellow Americans that you lump them all into your racist/nonracist map. Forgive me if I sound harsh or vain in any way. I am human after all. If you insist on still attacking me, instead of rationally debating my points, consider this my last response. I will accept what I cannot change and move on. It would be much easier if I can SHOW you what I mean, but I cannot, but you must rest assure that I understand all too well what you mean.
