We talk more about race these days than I ever remember in my life

[Toekneepowers]

What type of qualifications does one need to be an expert in this field ?

[imthebadguy]

The Atlanta shooter already confessed to capitol murder. If it had been racially motivated, he would have nothing left to lose by admitting to it.

[pkghalm]

All it takes is for the perpetrator to be white

[anthonyjames]

Moral of the story: If you are going to commit crimes, don't commit them because of hate and racism Commit your crimes from a place of love and tolerance.

[SKF]

The "hate crime" fix is ridiculous. When is murder a "love" crime? "He shot me in the face, but it was just to get my wallet, so we're cool." Ridiculous.

The hypocrisy of this company breaks my heart

What about the the two African American teen females 13 and 15 who car jacked and kill a 66 year Muslim man in WDC? The news is so sad....You know like this: Shocking video: Two Teens, 13 and 15, carjack and Murder driver (66 year old Muslim man). Why no coverage of this story?

[localpsychosis]

Lmao what about that black guy beating an old Asian woman on the two security guards doing nothing is that a hate crime?

620 shootings in Chicago, so far this year.

[GoBuddieGo]

You know I’m Pacific Islander, Puerto Rican and Chinese but people say I look Mexican or Filipino. So now when people at work ask if I’m Mexican I just say “Yes” because I feel like that’s safer.

[ChrysanthsMum]

No report on the attack of the Asian woman in NYC while 2 security guards watched? I wonder why?

[JohnSmith-coqt]

Used the word white in relation to the mass murder.Censored within minutes..Good job utube.As racist as facebook.

[nolanreach]

95% salons in America are Asian owned, explain me that!

[mr.m]

What about the 2 black girls who robbed and killed and Asian Uber Eats driver? Is that Asian hate?

[victorwest]

he hated the sex workers that contributed to his sex addiction and most of them were Asian in that area. he would have done the same thing if they were all many cities allow sex workers to operate as "massage parlors", the police are partly to blame for it too ??

[BlogofTheWst]

I’ve honestly never thought that Asian women were exotic, sexual creatures or submissive.

More Mediocracy pushing Racism in America. BRAVO TO ALL ACTORS INVOLVED

[mistermeister]

We don't need experts to tell us that hating someone's skin is wrong...

[irbose]

"Really bad day for that guy and this is what he did"? The utter ignorance and stupidity of that cop is stomach churning.
