I take it this is a Satirical post given the sad social commentary that the incident of police abuse in the recent trial decision in New York does elicit per common sense.
But Literally speaking, of course, no, as African Americans are still number 2 BEHIND LATINAS in the ONLY statistic that TRULY counts PER success in FERTILITY RATES.
http://www.prb.org/publications/datasheets/2012/world-population-data-sheet/fact-sheet-us-population.aspx
IF ANY SO-CALED RACE IS REMOTELY ENDANGERED IT IS WHITES AS HIGHER LEVELS OF MELANIN PER PIGMENT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN THE DOMINANT GENETIC TRAIT.
And it's no longer a segregated country or world, overall, to the likely dismay of some law enforcement folks but not all by far, as my father did that stuff for 46 years, and overall it is a THANKLESS HARD JOB TO PROTECT FOLKS BUT A JOB THAT SOMEONE HAS GOTTA DO, IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A CIVILIZED SOCIETY TO the degree it is now, even.
But no they are human and screw up sometimes and that's obviously what happened in that incident as A TRAGIC BUT ACCIDENTAL MISTAKE.
AND YES, SOMEONE SHOULD PAY FOR IT, AND EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WILL when the laws are changed for better scrutiny through electronic devices that monitor these life or death events of law enforcement. More caution will be the way of the day then for THOSE WHO MUST ENFORCE THE LAWS for the peaceful ways of life we do have, for those who enjoy them.

Communities have the police forces they deserve. If they want Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barney to keep the peace in their communities, then they'd better start acting like the good citizens of Mayberry, North Carolina.

NO and I will tell you why. We hear about the victims of the police what we don't hear about are all the black men who are very successful in life and have worked long and hard to get there being minorities in society and dealing with a controversial past and there are plenty of black men who do succeed. What we need to do is get more black men on the side of success instead of failure. Catch them before they reach the point they are in bad situations and move them over to the side with the successful black men.
Sure, and when those fine African-American males finally become successful, stand back and watch as a horde of strangers crawl out of the woodwork to accuse them of rape, drug use, child abandonment, and other assorted crimes, while offering no material evidence whatsoever that those crimes were ever committed!

Since when? Once the media gets hold of a scandal, the person accused of rape, incest, or abuse may is as good as tried and convicted as far as the public is concerned.
Besides, "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" applies only to criminal cases, and not to civil cases or "Trial by Media".

On average aspies have it just as bad or worse than NT black people.
Unemployment among aspies is much higher than for black men.
Black men face an unemployment rate of 11%.

Aspies face an unemployment rate of at least 75%

Imagine a NT black man who grows up in a black area, he doesn't feel out of place like an aspie does.
Most black people are not harassed by policemen, there are millions of black people who have probably never been harassed.
Even if a black person is stopped by the police for no good reason, it may hurt their feelings a bit, but an aspie being bullied in school is under much worse conditions.
The suicide rate of black people is less than half of whites

If they were being constantly bullied and harassed by cops it should be higher.
When a black person is killed by a white person under circumstances that are not cut and dry, like a Trayvon the media talks about it endlessly and gives it exposure.
If you look at actual statistics things are not that bad.
The suicide rate of black people is less than half of whites

If they were being constantly bullied and harassed by cops it should be higher.
I'm not sure that you can draw that conclusion. Suicide rates seem to depend on culture and religion a lot. The suicide rate is extremely low in many of the poorest countries, and fairly high in the wealthier countries (Japan, South Korea, Finland, Belgium).
The best advice I can tell anyone is to just do what the cops say. Cops are always rougher with men then they are women and most men get treated like crap by cops when they are getting arrested. Best thing to do is to shush and follow directions without any kind of attitude.
Cops are always paranoid when they are arresting men because men are the ones who are most likely to try stuff and they have more strength so they must deal with that fact. Cops do not trust men in general.
And another thing, if you are a big guy you have to be particularly cautious with cops because tall, heavy set men are the ones that are in most danger of getting injured or killed while being arrested. Cops are cognizant of the size difference. Cops are constantly thinking about the chances of getting killed on the job so they are going to be on extra high alert around anyone they think could be particularly dangerous to them. So really tall, strong people are going to put any cop on heightened alert and if they aren't cooperating, that is just going to cause the cop to be more paranoid about getting injured or killed. So any big dude needs to keep these things in mind. Playing with the cops is like playing with fire for them.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you on this.
It really comes down to economics. I live in a poor/working class minority neighborhood. It's also a nice safe neighborhood, because people here do have economic opportunities. They have the chance to make an honest living (if not an especially good one), and most of them take it.
The problem with places like New York & St. Louis is that, for the most part, people cannot make an honest living. So, you get young guys selling drugs, gang banging, and doing dumb s**t like stealing cigars and/or selling individual cigarettes because they don't have any money...
You also get a lot of people looting and rioting when demonstrations happen because of economic frustrations...
The Sublime song about the Rodney King riots sums up the real problem quite nicely. It's just a shame that little has changed in 20+ years...
PS
@SilverProteus,
That joke actually came from Chris Rock and it's funny because it is [sadly] true.

Yeah, unless the police undertake extrajudicual punishment against you. You're only innocent until proven guilty if you're alive for your trial.
