>anything approaching equal treatment between black people and white people feels like oppression of white people.

Please let this ill-founded meme die. Compare White House and media reactions to the shooting of Ralph Yarl versus the murder of Connor Mullins, or the shooting of Kinsley White and her parents. Coverage of heinous violent crime between these two demographics is wildly disproportionate to real-world rates of occurrence. Justice system treatment is closer to equitable but still has gaps.

>I promise you the kids are being chased and when caught are being charged.

The retiring D.C. Chief of Police, who is black, disagrees:

Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot, a black woman and staunch Democrat, disagrees as well:

If anything, crime rates for black men versus white men underpredict current rates of incarceration:

That's not what this says.

That's not what this says, either.

Old white people are scared out of their fucking minds at the thought of becoming a minority, or being treated like a minority.

Why? Do we treat minorities poorly?

>Why? Do we treat minorities poorly?

No, they come here from all over the world to find happiness and prosperity.

Has hacker news always been reddit jr? Im new, idk

Yes, it has. But you have to write a long frame story with lots of long words about functional programming and VC equity around your redditing.

You may or may not have intentionally started a flamewar in this thread, but you've certainly broken the site guidelines by perpetuating it badly. Please stop and please don't.

Edit: when a new account shows up with a dossier of links under one arm and a briefcase of arguments under the other, on a classic flamewar topic, that's not a good-faith use of the site. Pre-existing agendas are not what HN is for. They're repetitive, tedious, and usually inflammatory—certainly that's the case in this thread. This destroys the curious conversation that the site is supposed to be for, so please stop doing this.

he is right. im young, non white, and I can totally see the difference in treatment. it is totally racist like most of the liberal policies that consider non-white people like children to "protect" or "shield" from the structural racism that actually their own cast perpetrate by judging people by their color and calling that "positive discrimination policies" this is still discrimination based on race hence racism. you can call it positive racism if this makes you feel better. and we see that in many cities. SF, PORTLAND (that just 180 2 years of rising crime and defunding). hell it is even racist for the communities of people that live normal life (the number 1 victim of violent crime by those same criminals, crimes that white people or democrats are shielded in their fenced gated properties) and are judged by the liberals under the same spectrum than criminals just because they share a skin color.
