I don't think what you are saying is making more and more sense as time goes by, Gunnar. I've always understood your complaints. I just don't share your viewpoint and that has been a source of frustration for you throughout this thread.
I don't object to anybody exercising their Constitutional rights to protest against what they view as a violation of their civil or legal rights, regardless of race or media coverage. And, I do object to unwarranted police brutality.
I'd just as easily understand people protesting the fact that Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians...don't protest more often as I do people protesting that black people protest too much, whether I agree with either point of criticism or not.
Anyway, I don't have a problem reading and listening to what you think makes sense, nor with comprehending it. That hasn't changed. And, it's not news to me that white on black crime gets a lot of media coverage. Where we differ is that I just don't have a problem with protests by anybody of any color, nor with people asking questions, sharing different opinions, and engaging in speculation when it's labeled as such -- inside or outside of an internet forum discussion thread. I think it's healthy and interesting.
