Is the current "hunting season" allowing "Cops" to shoot 'citizens' with immunity.
The "Us vs Them" mentality taught police along with a hiring practice that seeks pathological bullies, sadists and latent homicidals is reaping what fully militarizing them sows. If weapons of war are not soon taken from our friendly neighborhood police citizens of ALL colors will soon be regularly executed for the overall entertainment of the local police.

it's just a matter of how far back you want to go, No one you know has ever been slave, so you too must go back in history to make your claim.

Or are you one of those "we are the biggest victims in all of mankind's history" proponents?

Don't bother to answer, we already know your opinion, Mr Angry Black Man.

You do realize probably 80% of white americans don't have slave owners in their ancestory? Either because so many immigrated or because so many didn't own slaves in the first place.  Slave owners were pretty much rich southerners. Proportionately freed blacks owned more slaves then whites. Only 1.4 percent of all people in the USA owned slaves in the 1856 census, or some where in that range. This isn't even considering the fact that many African slaves were sold into slavery by fellow black Africans, but I guess that's the white mans fault for buying them?  
     While I don't condone slavery it seems all of the blame is laid solely on the white man when in fact it was a very small percentage of whites that owned slaves, and they weren't (for the most part) the ones capturing them and selling them, hell many of us whites didn't even have ancestors in the USA in the 1860's.  
    Another fact is the first slave in America was owned by a freed black man who sued to have the right to own slaves in 1655. Not entirely sure about the validity of this story so take it with a gain of salt.  Here is some reading for you.  

         "Prior to 1655 there were no legal slaves in the colonies, only indentured servants. All masters were required to free their servants after their time was up. Seven years was the limit that an indentured servant could be held. Upon their release they were granted 50 acres of land. This included any Negro purchased from slave traders. Negros were also granted 50 acres upon their release.

Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.
     When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro” and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free white man Robert Parker.
     Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own slave of their own race. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.
    Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.
    By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.
However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.
By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone."

    "In the rare instances when the ownership of slaves by free Negroes is acknowledged in the history books, justification centers on the claim that black slave masters were simply individuals who purchased the freedom of a spouse or child from a white slaveholder and had been unable to legally manumit them. Although this did indeed happen at times, it is a misrepresentation of the majority of instances, one which is debunked by records of the period on blacks who owned slaves. These include individuals such as Justus Angel and Mistress L. Horry, of Colleton District, South Carolina, who each owned 84 slaves in 1830. In fact, in 1830 a fourth of the free Negro slave masters in South Carolina owned 10 or more slaves; eight owning 30 or more (2).

According to federal census reports, on June 1, 1860 there were nearly 4.5 million Negroes in the United States, with fewer than four million of them living in the southern slaveholding states. Of the blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. Of this number, 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city."

"Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 percent of southern whites owning one or more slaves)."

My OP wasn't about the protesters,
but the media coverage of the killings...

The Utah protests were subdued
compared to those in Freguson,
there was no looting.

The liberal media has a bias that the  
shooting of an unarmed black man by
a white police officer is some form of
oppression and was unjustified, but
the killing of an unarmed white man
is not oppression, but some how justified.

And I believe the media helps to fuel the
racial tensions with their biased coverage.
