    I’m black, I don’t need any of you to tell me how well or poorly the communities are doing. One look at Baltimore is enough.

    Is that because you don't care to hear the truth or is it out of sight out of mind?

    I notices you ran full tilt boogie from the visual facts I offered, so I think "Out of sight, out of mind" fits the occasion perfectly!

    Then again, this is the internet, soooooo I have never felt the need to claim a race! So maybe I'm a enlightened Black Republican who's to argue I'm not, right :)

    Interesting.
    FBI stats show your people commit ~53% of all murders in the US.
    How many murders are committed by white men in a mass shootings?

    Here is an article and a couple of clips from that article that pretty much lays out what many in this blog are expressing. While technically urban violence is not considered terrorism, many urban dwellers are afraid to venture out after dark. The sad part is that many for political reason refuse to acknowledge this problem. It is more convenient to call it a gun problem than what it really is, a culture problem.

    http://theconversation.com/gun-violence-in-the-us-kills-more-black-people-and-urban-dwellers-86825

    Shootings kill more than 36,000 Americans each year. Every day, 90 deaths and 200 injuries are caused by gun violence. Unlike terrorist acts, the everyday gun violence that impacts our communities is accepted as a way of life.

    There is even more to the story: CDC data also show that within our nation’s cities, black Americans are, on average, eight times more likely to be killed by firearms than those who are white. The rate of death by gun homicide for black people exceeds those among whites in all 50 states, but there is tremendous variation in the magnitude of this disparity. In 2015, a black person living in Wisconsin was 26 times more likely to be fatally shot than a white person in that state. At the same time, a black person in Arizona was “only” 3.2 times more likely than a white person to be killed by a gun. The combination of being black and living in an urban area is even more deadly. In 2015, the black homicide rate for urban areas in Missouri was higher than the total death rate from any cause in New York state.

    An unpopular idea, though true, is that many aspects of Black culture needs to change, but only Blacks can do that. The Al Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons and Don Lemons can't do it, nor can any rappers. They need some real Black heroes, if they can ever get air time on the MSM.

    I don't partake in any of the disgusting 24/7 reality tv channels who try to put out new stories.
    All of them are about drama and being an echo chamber.
    So I don't pay attention to what they say.
    I wonder if you think fox is as vile as CNN, since they do the same things. But from opposite sides.

    True, his intent was not allowed via the constitution.
    And he had to modify his plan a few times before it became legal enough to enforce.

    So you disagree with Lemon and think the demonizing should carry on.
    And what does associating with a political movement have to do with racism???

    If I hear them spewing anything racist like this idiot I will be the first to condemn them. You can let me know if and when that happens.

    Nope, but thanks for playing. The constitution is all that kept him from a full muslim ban.
    It took a few tries before what he got into law was acceptable.

    The cost of repair is what folks will pay attention to, not why. Trying to make a case for why public property getting burnt is not as bad as private property is like trying say herpes isn’t as bad as syphillis.

    Doubtful. You seem to partisan emotional about it.
    For Lemon has a white boyfriend.
    And I bet, with 8 yrs of obama as pres, BLM, Cop shootings. There was much that lefties would consider as racism from fox.
    And I bet you never once condemned them.

    Nope. Only the constitution limited what he wanted to do.

    Which proposal attempted to "Ban all Muslims"...

    Can you link to the language or are you just repeating a false talking point and refuse to admit it....
