Most can agree that racism is a raging topic lately in the media. Racism is all based upon the way in which someone precieves another along with opinions and judgements on that individual due to their race or culture. In the Ferguson trial in reguards to Micheal Brown and the Eric Garner case, the police are being blamed and made out to be attacking the black race. However, just because these two cases happened to be white cops against blacks, the two did commit crimes with probable cause. In both cases, the white cops are being sterotyped as all cops are racist and dangerous. Meanwhile,  the entire occupation can not be labeled. The same sterotype goes for black people. Not all black people commit crime and violence. It all depends on the person and the situation. If someone commits a crime they should be handed the same verdict as every other criminal.  These two cases along with the Trevon Martin were blown up and examined because the excessive force used was disguisedas racism which is wrong and the two should be seperated.
This link below is a video of evidence to my point made that not all blacks are bad people. He is an African American who basically supports my statement that no matter your skin color, if you commit any type of crime you should pay for it. Along with that, he says the destruction of the city Ferguson, will be viewed as animal behavior because it is unnecessary and it is not racial profiling just because most people protesting are black.
