    How would you know? There aren't even any black folks that live in your town.

    I don't need to exaggerate, history shows exactly what I am speaking of.

    Dont you know unemployment is the driver of poverty and therefor crime. So it makes perfect sense to burn everything down.

    Because for the first 40 years of my life, I lived in or near a black majority area.

    You don't exaggerate? So you're saying you actually get pulled over for being black every single time you leave your house as you said? No exaggeration, right?

    Claiming them as facts doesn't make them facts.
    You can twist statistics to read anyway you like. Now that's a fact.

    I have live in a majority black neighborhood and it's not filled with crime.

    No more than you claiming when I walk out the door and trip over a white supremacist.

    I guess that's why they can't have nice things.

    Are you inferring that the cops didn't know if their own taser was a two shot taser?

    How is it that most black people never get into any altercations with cops besides a speeding ticket and you can barely drive down the street? What the heck are you doing? Are you fracking serious?

    Everyone knows the answer to that but they want to tip toe around it as to no be labeled racist. But the truth is that when an area becomes majority black or even large populations of black, the area goes downhill from there. Crime goes up, poverty goes up, schools go down. Once safe towns become havens for drug deals and armed robbery. Safe towns that you once could leave your cars unlocked while you went inside a store become unsafe and break-ins are common. You can deny this all you want, but anyone who has ever lived with it knows it's the truth.

    My friend sounded the same and he was as White as they come.. Of course his dumb ass had a ton of speeding tickets all on the same part of I-95 never mind multiple DUI's.. Talked about a conspiracy against him and could take no fault for his actions as "he was running late"( which he always is)

    Now take that mentality and excuse it because of "systemic racism" and there you go.

    It is not just the killing of it is the amount of arrests and imprisonment, where the lives of blacks are ruined at a greater rate than the population percentage. And Black leaders wanted the scourge ended, not 1-3 incarcerated.

    Take the opiate issue. When opiates use and addiction was mainly confined to blacks and Hispanics along with poor whites no one gave a ****. all of a sudden white middle class people get addicted and there is a concentrated effort to eradicate it,

    Is it possible that
    1) On average they commit more crimes then the average of other races including hispanics?
    2) It is possible that on average they make less then other races and therefor can not afford a good legal defense?

    Yes "Say no to Drugs" is such a new thing.... /facepalm

    How about talking about the amount of crime committed in the black community, they are directly related you know. They ruin their own lives by engaging in crime. This guy lost his life by engaging in crime.

    How is the number of arrests and imprisonments not a function of blacks committing crimes at a higher rate that whites?
    Who is to blame for having their life ruined when they chose to commit the crime they are incarcerated for?

    Maybe they did know, don't even know if the officer even knew it had been fired yet, but at that point he was a HIGHLY dangerous fleeing felon who had proved he would attack police with force, using a weapon, in an attempt to debilitate at the least. They will take you down with the necessary force at that point.

    How do you "fight single motherhood?" Is that by being a pretentious and judging Holy Roller?

    The idea of raising your own kids is "pretentious" to you?

    Because you said that 1/3rd of the populaiton was black. While the actual parentage was 1/3 of your estimate.

    Great points, but lets not forget one of the main causes is lack of father involvement.

    It’s not the color. It’s the class. In my prior neighborhood that was slowly degrading, I had one completely average normal African American family a few doors down. Our kids played every once in a while. Bunch of the fathers on the street would go and have a drink together on the sidewalk on a Friday and shoot the ****. Normal guy. Worked in finance. Wife was a nurse or practitioner. Nice family. Now on the other side right next to me were renters. Had new ones every year it seemed. Part of the reason we moved. The last one which put is over the edge were straight up hoodlums. Never saw a father. 2 teenage boys inviting their friends over all hours of the night drinking. LOUD. The mom had an attitude problem and was never friendly. Red hair. Obvious weave. Family or friends came over every other day and they yelled in the street. Loud obnoxious rap music. Had to bring the kids in from playing, since it wasn’t family appropriate. My neighbor on the other side had his TV in his bar ripped off the wall after one of their “parties.” Got it on his security cam. Fracking stereotype from day 1. There were others over the years that were problematic to various degrees. Renters SUCK. That last one I’ll never forget because they mostly forced us to move a little sooner than we were planning. But it was a good thing in the end.

    So NO. It’s not a race thing. It’s a class thing. And yeah. We moved out because the trash was moving in. All races by the way. The element of the neighborhood shifted from a lot of Jews to a very diverse group and too many renters, too many families somehow packing themselves into one house, which was the final straw for us.

    Color is fine for the neighborhood. It’s the class of color. Where I’m living now is VERY DIVERSE. But the class is higher. Homes are more expensive which mostly keeps out the element we want to avoid. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Its why Black people who can, move out of the hood, once they make it. The problem lies when they take the hood with them. Money cant buy class.
