Those things don't exist any more in America than they do elsewhere.

The differences between here and Europe is that only around half of the population will [bleep] to the idea that minorities are treated unfairly when the other half wont. Is there racism in the US? Yup. Is it as big a problem as some would have you believe? Nope.

The Michael Bennett situation is a perfect example. He screams racism, and people fall in-line to believe him. The police literally run passed hundreds of black men and women for the one guy that chooses to run from them, and now people scream "systematic racism!" Now his own attorney even dismissed the idea that it was racially-motivated, but people still people that it was. 

People don't like the idea of these protests because they're based on lies.

I don't imagine they'd do that unless there were a lot of people doing it.
