I cant imagine it would go down well in certain areas of America if I were to walk up and say "hello Chocolate people, how are you all doing today"
Id end up looking like a swiss cheese.
-----
Would you walk up and say 'hello black people'? I would worry for your safety if you did.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would say "wassup ma nigggers"
Apparently that's how it works
-----
You have to be at least chocolate to pull that off and still stay alive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about if I used a bit of boot polish?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As long as its chocolate brown boot polish and not black.

Why wouldn't you just walk up and say hello people? Or hello american people if you must.

I don't know. Thats what I would advise you to do. I didn't start that loine of thought, in fact was it not you that started it?

Can there be white chocolate people? Milk, dark chocolate people?
-----
There are. Compare someone like Rio with someone like Clyne or 50 cent. All just different shades of brown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want a bigger shovel Mamba?
-----
No, the one I have is good enough for your grave because I am killing you here.

Because black people are more inclined to be criminals, obviously

What about Wes Brown? His name is Brown, but his 'shade' has more than a hint of ginger about it.

To be fair, within 'dark' you need to also specify the varying degrees of cocoa solids too. This could be quite a broad scale in the end. Will there be a colour swatch to determine each person's particular scale?
------
There will be when I become Prime Minister which should be fairly soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Won't happen if you're black
-----
I'm neither black nor white. I am the English Obama and when I run for prime minister the public will have no choice but to vote for me.

Ok, whereabouts on a scale of Milky Bar to Green & Blacks 90% cocoa chocolate are you?

No black man has grown to adulthood without suffering the pain of racist discrimination
----------------------
How can this even be measured?
=====
Perhaps by using a sample size and extrapolating the result
---------------------
Ah so guessing?
The stat states that NO black man has grown to adulthood without suffering the pain of racist discrimination
Not a single black man in the history of time ever has grown to adulthood (say 18? 21?)
I've not once in my life suffered the pain of racial discrimination.
-----
You know what the land of opportunity means? Do you live in the states? Getting pedantic won't help this discussion
I don't know any black man who hasn't suffered some sort of discrimination, no matter how mild. Also the pain of discrimination can be suffered indirectly.
Even I feel the pain for my brothers in the states and elsewhere, imagine how relatives of unarmed victims must feel as they bury their beloved.

Nope. I said I didn't like the expression 'african-american', what you assumed I meant by that took us down this route.

wtf is this sh*t? People aren't actually 'black'? Chocolate people? Are you for real?
----
Yes. Do you know the colour black? Ever seen anyone of that complexion? I was just theorising that there aren't any really black people if you want to apply strict meanings.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, you thought people actually thought that people were black? Right. Brilliant.
-----
Where do I say or even imply that.

When you decided that there ought to be a sliding scale swatch chart in order to determine the degree of colour.

The "War on Drugs" isn't a war on drugs but a war on class.
Doesn't matter what race you are if you're poor the "War" is designed to keep you down.
For example the prison sentences for gettign caught with crack cocaine is 3 times as severe as it is for powder cocaine. Why? Because crack is a poor mans drug and powder is a rich mans drug.
So if a poor black/Latino kid is caught with a few grams of crack he get's up to 30 years in prison! If a rich white kid is caught with the same amount of powder he usually escapes prison.
It's all designed to keep a class down, watch "The House I live in" a documentary on Netflix by David Simon who created the Wire, it's a real eye opener.
-----
Will do knee. What would be the motive for waging a war on class? Remember black people are poorer on average and it can be argued that the few poor white people are just caught in the dragnet as an unavoidable repercussions of the racism?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
it's a form of control, to keep the masses down and untimely have complete control over the lower classes.
Get the vast majority of poor people hooked on a drug, then they fall into the cycle and very few get out.
So a young black kid in a ghetto in a major urban city in America has very few choices. there is a large chance that this child's parent/s are in jail, dead due to drug offenses. So the kid grows up fatherless for one reason or another, they look around them and the only people with any money in their neighborhood are drug dealers, they have siblings etc. to provide for cause their parent/s are out of the equation, they then start to work with the drug dealers to try get some money, they get caught at a young age, get a heavy prison sentence due to the type of drug they sell, they end up in the system at a young age and never get of out this cycle, it's no surprise that a huge number of Young offenders go back and re offend, when they come out of prison they have next to no options, will really struggle to get a job and so go back to selling.
Rinse and repeat for each generation.

"While 85% of black people were stopped by police in NY"
If that's true, it's an outrage. But I suspect it's not true. There aren't enough cops to do that, surely - the population of NYC is ~8.5 million, and of that about 25% are black. That is some busy cops. I call shenanigans
-----
My bad there. I meant 85% of those stopped were black.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that can't be right, you also said "In New York City, 80% of the police stops made were blacks and Latinos" - what happened there?
There are some serious race issues in the states, particularly regarding law enforcement - but this patchwork copy and paste nightmare article is not helping anyone.
-----
So your problem is the copy and paste job? Tell you what. This stuff is available on the Internet. Educate yourself in the manner then come back for a sensible talk, all this pedantry us not help in anyone.

No. Like the comment says you are replying to the problem is the article. It's a mess. It's not pedanty, you are misrepresenting facts and contradicting yourself left and right.

Like I said, this is a serious issue and you're doing nothing but presenting detractors their arguments on a plate.

And he's saying that as a black man he hasn't encountered it, so therefore your stats are flawed.
