> If excessive police stops disproportionately affect black drivers those stops are racist, and the people performing the stops are racist.

So black police in those jurisdictions are racists against blacks because the jurisdiction as a whole disproportionately stops blacks?

I don’t think that’s how it works.

That is exactly how it works. The color of the Police is Blue, not black or any other color.

Condemning all black police officers As racists for nothing more than working for Ferguson Police department (An insert any other jurisdiction which disproportionately stops blacks) is the most white privileged thing I’ve ever heard...until your second sentence where you attempt to strip people of their race based on their occupation?

Is there any other occupation(s) you strip people of their racial identity Or just police?

Oh please, that's the least charitable interpretation possible of what I wrote.

So, just in case you actually mean what you say, what I'm getting at:

if your colleagues have a certain conduct, you follow suite. It's human nature. That doesn't mean every police officer, black or other other ethnicity is inherently racist. But they as a group act according to a pattern. A Blue pattern. You watch out for your own, no matter race or creed. I hope that cleared things up.

That is the complete opposite of being a racist.

>>throwa+G8
Only if the definition of "your own" is the entire human race.

At what point do these abstractions become ridiculous? White and Black are races but Blue is a different category and yet equivalent?
