Why is it that when someone is biracial

That's an interesting assumption you're making and I couldn't disagree more. I'm curious what you're basing it on. I'm also curious why you assumed that I'm white.
Edit - on review, I'm not sure I understand your comment right. Are you suggesting that I would be less likely to feel safe around someone who matched my ethnicity? -

Sorry for the assumption. That wasn't fair.
What I meant to say was (based on an impression) - 'You were more likely to ride the evaluator or keep on walking down the street, if the persons were White'.
Meaning, the deciding factor wasn't really their attire but their physical appearance. -

Everyone judges others based on their physical appearance, whether you factor in race or not. Also, nearly all violent crime in the US is committed by blacks and hispanics, so it is fairly safe to assume that most whites aren't going to hassle you on the street, unless of course they're dressed like gangbangers.

The bigger picture is that blacks only makeup 13% of the general population, yet often account for an equal or higher amount of overall crime than the white majority. If you break it down and look at interracial crime rates the difference is staggering. Blacks commit violent crime against whites at a rate of ~25x that which whites commit those same crimes against blacks. Basically, a disproportionately large percentage of the black population is violent. This disproportion becomes even more glaring when you look at specific cities such as NY, Chicago, Baltimore, LA, etc. in which blacks most definitely account for the overwhelming majority of crime despite being a minority of the population.
I believe that the problem is primarily cultural self-destructive behaviors and attitudes all too common among the black underclass. The problem is black criminal behavior, which is one manifestation of a black pathology that ultimately stems from the breakdown of the black family. -

Look at the fbi link that I posted. You asserted.
nearly all violent crime in the US is committed by blacks and hispanics, so it is fairly safe to assume that most whites aren't going to hassle you on the street,
Which is complete balderdash. Whites still account for most violence. The vast majority of white homicide victims (84%) are murdered by other whites. How do you explain white violence and the thousands of murders, assaults and rapes without making a declaration on "white culture". White Americans are not non violent and never have been.
And black women are not committing those crimes, black men are, though that doesn't stop someone like Roof from killing elderly black women because white women will be raped. You seem to view black men and women as one in the same hence you keep saying "blacks". A white male is far more likely to do almost every single crime in existence more compared to a black woman.
Men commit around 95% of all homicide, around 98% of all rape, yet there is never any cultural explanation for that.
The vast majority of crime that black men commit has motive (ie drug related), if you are not buying or selling drugs from gang bangers why does this concern you so much? It's not like this is just spontaneous violence from culture like you are making it out to be. White people had higher rates of homicide during their immigrant era with ethnic gangs than black Americans ever had yet somehow white culture isn't seen as some pathology.
This disproportion becomes even more glaring when you look at specific cities such as NY, Chicago, Baltimore, LA, etc. in which blacks most definitely account for the overwhelming majority of crime despite being a minority of the population.
You can't even use Wikipedia to see the demographics of a city? Baltimore is majority black. NY & Chicago have almost just as many blacks as whites. Most crime in LA is Hispanic, not black. Not one city you posted is majority white and if you would crawl from your mother's basement or simply use Wikipedia instead of Stormfront of American Renaissance to copy and paste from you would know that.
Are you buying drugs from black males? If not stop obsessing and be more concern with white people who are much more likely to murder you if you are white. There are more whites buying drugs from blacks than the other way around so of course there would be a difference in the interracial murder aspects. 84% of white homicide victims are murderd by other whites. Why does white violence not concern you even though you are far more likely to be1354 murdered by a white person? Why do you have no theories about why white people do the things they do but claim some expertise about blacks?
Whites have certain self destructive behavior more than blacks. Whites are far more likely to use drugs, binge drink and commit suicide yet whites are still not seen as a pathological group or problems declared about their culture. ODing is now the number cause of death by injury, even more than car accidents since 2008. Whites are more likely to OD than any other racial group besides Native Americans yet this isn't concerning you, just scary black people.
If you are overweight, smoking, inactive, using drugs, have mental health problems, drive recklessly, you are nothing more than a racist troll because all those things are far more likely to take you out than some scary, random black man (or black person as you keep putting it, as if black women are murdering whites or anyone). If you just can't deal living in a country with "violent blacks" you can always move to Russia or the Ukraine which are pretty much 100% white and see how well that works out for you.
Russia has virtually no black people or Mexicans, has half the population of the US but nearly twice the homicide rate even without any black people. Hmmm

and Russia's homicide rate is still a fraction of what it used to be compared to the 1990's.

Absolute and complete BS. You don't sound very different from Dylann Roof. I hope the FBI is tracking you. -

Similarly we all have a built in fear mechanism for all situations that might have adverse consequences, including the societal problems associated with mixing races.
So, do you think we're conditioned to have these beliefs or are they instinctive human fears?
I, personally, cannot see the practical adverse consequences from race-mixing, unless you consider an extinction of a race to lead to the loss of culture, depreciation of economics or whatever else.
The attitudes are a risk, but you'll never break them down if you allow them to remain as they are. -

Well, you hit on it towards the end 'race shouldn't matter' but some people will never let it not matter.
Rashida Jones is one of my favorite actresses and before today I didn't know anything about her racial background never thought about it for a second. -

shows what you know. if ur 3/4 white then you can say ur white but if ur not then you cant.
and who doesnt feel like their life is lacking if they cant go around telling people they are white instead of having a rich biracial culture.

Yes you can have Black ancestry and be considered White. Just deny it. Millions call us Indian or Cherokee blood and no one cares. I can tell you so many hiding black relatives but you wouldn't believe it.

For the same reason Obama is considered "black" by the general public. People don't care what your origins actually are, it's what you look like at first glance. Halle Berry, Lauren London and Paula Patton all look black. Rashida Jones doesn't.
Personally I don't care what someone wants to call themselves. But whatever you look like at first glance is what most people will perceive you as. Not really a big deal.
Exactly.
