Guy makes some fantastic points. Been stuck watching his videos for the past hour. The man is very sound in his beliefs.

I live in the Pacific NW America.
The only notable racism I've seen in my lifetime has been against whites, beyond measure.
I've heard(or heard of) the word "nigger" used 3 times in a serious manner in 41 years.
And that imo, is attributed to the culture, not skin, in retaliatory remarks, for lack of a more hurtful word.
I have to assume regionally it's different, but in my neck of the words, that's how it is, and has been.

there aren't many places 'whiter' than the PacNW...very little racial diversity.

i lived in PDX for 11 years.

It's very accurate.
Ok, well, I guess.
It just depends where you go.
In Eastern Washington, White & Mexican.
High density cities are diverse.
Where I live is diverse.

How many of those people were using their own attorney rather than a public defender? How many of those went to trial rather than taking plea deals?

I'm sure that tells the whole story.
Have you ever been arrested/sentenced?
Poor attempt at a red herring.
Classic tactic of the RDBs (Racism Denier's Club).
Can you refute the facts without attempting to change the subject and attack the messenger?
No?
Of course not. Nice try though.

Perhaps I should use your tactic against you like ' When was the last time you beat your wife?

Though this post coming from someone who says he's never seen racism except only to whites ... right after posting a perfect example of racism he has seen (and then excusing it as "it was out of anger so that racist thing he said was okay"), is not surprising at all.

Feel free to do your research and get back to us.
Till then, enjoy your facts of the day.

I don't know wtf you're talking about with fish and shit.
Why don't you just answer the question before believing you've figured out the premise so we can get somewhere.
