I regret using the word "misbehave" because no we're talking about sports riots and I've opened the door for white people to somehow be comparable in this regard; by misbehave I meant the tons of black kids killing each other.
My bad for not clarifying. Carry on.

Insert "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" meme.
This won't end well.

He's also far more likely to be stuck in a never-ending cycle of poverty. He's also far more likely to get the worst punishment possible for any crime he might commit. He's more likely to get a lengthy jail sentence for a minor drug charge. He's less likely to be hired even without a criminal record, and far less likely to be hired if he has one.
The gun violence against black men is a symptom of the much larger problem.

No, we got it the first time. It's an unbelievably racist remark. Like I honestly thought you were being sarcastic at first.
Oh, and just for giggles:
Ferguson police scanner reporting that the suspect setting cars on fire?
A white kid wearing an American flag hat.

It was pretty funny, such a ridiculous and unexpected thing to happen. I've never been watching a news broadcast only to have the camera get stolen, a first person perspective of a theft in progress.

Clearly you didn't, because on what planet is acting up after a hockey game an act of disdain comparable to black crime in America? Additionally, on what planet is acknowledging that black crime in America is worse than white crime in America an incredibly racist remark?

I think this statement proves you are naive about the American context...
If you want an non-racial example...look at the 'civil forfeiture' problem in the US. Cops can pull you over, seize whatever they want (justifying that it 'could' be related to crime) and that asset is used to subsidize the operation of the police department.
Its effectively institutionalized piracy...
Black men (and others) have legitimate reason to fear for their lives (and property) when dealing with a (subset) of the police in the US. Its bad...and the increased militarization (and piss poor training) of the American police forces is not helping

Okay it's quite obvious that I have lived a very sheltered life, I'm not scared to admit it. I just really want to see the best with everyone and what's right.

He wasn't trying to compare sports hooligans and the racism in America. Just that white people aren't as innocent as you think, they do stupid ignorant things all the time especially when they are poor. Difference is the punishment they receive and the words applied to their actions.

You're also completely and totally ignoring everything else I'm saying about every other part of systemic racism that leads to black crime being such an issue. It's not that black people are inherently more likely to misbehave or be awful people. Yes, black crime is awful--but the crime is a symptom of a bigger issue, and that issue is still racism. The issue is not that black people are inherently barbaric.
I'm pointing out the hockey game/concert thing to prove that white people do the same stupid crap. The exact same stupid stuff. Mob mentality rules, white people do dumb stuff, they act badly. You used "misbehaving" to explain how black people in this situation riot, because black people are more likely to misbehave, and now you're going back and saying you're talking about the wider crime issue. Thus I used those examples to prove that it's human nature, not black nature.

Doesn't matter. It's all about perception, isn't it:
