The actual backstory to this image was pretty sad. The white kid being arrested had some mental issues and went on a murder rampage killing some black people. It's in south africa I think.

In case people didn't get this : Everyone is black but the guy in custody is white.

I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed about not getting this.

Yea this was in South Africa though. It's rare to see a white cop in most areas.

Some posts are saying that it is racist, which it is but it also is sadly true. Despite drug use and dealing being the same among African Americans and whites, African Americans have a much higher rate or arrest. Institutionalized racism is still here, through unequal schools and police targeting minorities. Interesting article.

Are they still African Americans if they aren't Americans?

The picture was taken in South Africa.

I would say that the rate is higher because blacks are targeted more.

[–]Possession_Sound 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would say those rates... are too damn high!

I think the best part about this picture is that the black cops aren't holding their MP5's sideways

I know, white kids should commit more violent crimes to eliminate this horrible disparity.

That's a sun glare hood on the camera. It's just an oddly shaped one.

OK, so the little dude hosted 5 TB of pirated movies on Megaupload, but are the assault rifles, helmets, goggles, magazine pouches and bullet proof vests really necessary??

[–]Vaknor 4 points5 points ago

From what I heard he has mental issues and killed several people.
