That's kind of the point. Police brutality is a bi-product of systematic racial oppression that has been happening since this country was founded. Does eliminating racial profiling and minority deaths by cop do anything to solve the real problem? If I was a justice warrior I would be attacking the issue at it's core rather than police brutality (which in reality is a blip of a problem in the grand scheme of things). I feel like people focus on this issue because it is easier to solve and easier to blame other's for. At the end of the day racial discrimination will never change until the ghettos are dissolved or white people are the ghetto majority.

Anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant and immature. Old news.
This discussion is really no different from arguing with you about music. Have you ever thought about why you are the minority on almost every point you decide to stand behind, even though you're not the only racial minority on the forum?
