I know that people like this guy want to make white Americans feel guilty about all the racism that is harshing the mellow of people of color. And of course everybody in the nation is in tune with the outrage of a single needless death. But you might wonder, given all of that, what kind of penalty the white collective hive mind should pay for its evil and sinister oppression. Well, how about death? Better yet how about suicide?

Turns out that in LA County, white Americans have been killing themselves off at double the rate of blacks and at triple the rate of hispanics. 

Who would dare call this justice?

And in case you didn't know, there are about 17,000 murders every year in America. There are about 30,000 suicides. Satisfied?
