The truth is 90%+ members of DU will never know what it's like to be a black youth in a society that thinks your are evil by default.

More importantly they will never even understand the power of institutional racism. Part of this is because they don't want to consider that the collective liberal left has spent little less than a few cent on solving issues like race.

Heck lots of DU supports Bloomberg because he funds the anti gun movement. But no one calls him out for his racists police policies that he 100% support that give licence to the thought process GZ had the night TM was killed. Bloomberg directly said the NYPD needs to stop and frisk more black kids and less white kids.

I have learned in my short stay here on DU one thing. Support the liberal cause at all cost even if the liberal cause is supported by a racist man who belives because of your skin color you must be up to no good.

It's very easy for a college educated white person (majority of DU I'm assuming) to be totally blind to the plight of many African Americans in our country. Especially lower income African Americans.

For a frame of reference just last week I was late to a monthly lunch with some business friends. The reason I was late was for a no ticket no violation police stop, the reason for the stop was my rear turn signal not that it was not working but it was flashing at a rapid pace (kid you not) police ran everything and even a K-9 unit pulled up. Officer let me go without even a warning . The worse thing was while the original officer was mixed race the k9 cop that came was black. They said the backup cop was just there incase they need assistance.

Everyone at the lunch was surprised except the 2 other black men in our group.
