How about establishing drug free zones. Gang free zones. And crime free zones.

We need more Christians per square mile. Then everyone can thrive.

Libs may learn that cities supporting school prayer or are anti-abortion could also become ‘sanctuaries’

At only 13 percent of the U.S. population, African Americans are killed by police... at higher rates than White Americans...

I call bullsh!t on this "statistic". If you want to make blanket assertions such as that, you need to back it up, instead of just throwing it out there and expecting everyone to automatically buy it...

"...Freedom Cities..."


This idea can totally work!
Those of African heritage need to immediately evacuate the country for a brief period of time, about 1000 years, for those of European heritage to note their absence.
A comprehensive analysis can then be completed to see results. Easy!

BLM is a terrorist group so anything they have to do with is automatically bad news.

Broken window policing is what made the Times Square of today. Rudy Guiliani found out, with empirical evidence, that stopping the broken windows became the first domino in stopping all forms of crime.

Black persons also commit more crimes per capita. This is mostly a reflection of a large subclass of habitual criminals and a particular subculture that they underwrite.

This subclass victimizes and terrorizes a majority of innocent black people ... and not coincidentally, IIRC, that it is ALSO relatively common for black people to use guns in self defense against the predations of those selfsame criminals!

Such a criminal subclass is not a new phenomenon nor by any means unique to urban black Americans as other examples have been known among various ethnic groups both east and west coast during the 19th and 20th centuries. They too had times when they would have come under closer official scrutiny, and some even helped bring about the existence of police departments as we know them.

It is not poverty that makes such criminals but a want of moral soundness, even a want of religious scruples.

Still, under the influence of 60s and 70s style commie inspired race radicalism there are especially pernicious aspects to aforementioned criminal subculture that have made this a worst case scenario.

Firstly, it excuses wrongdoing and promotes an environment that both protects the criminal element and lionizes them as victims of injustice should they get shot in the commission of a crime. By this I mean it seems like many otherwise innocent, honest and peaceable black people make themselves the proverbial tall grass, and not just those with close ties to the criminals.

Secondly it holds out a context for an extra-special kind of “here’s your sign” stupid to flourish, by which I mean people burning down their own communities because they are angry about stuff. The collapse of many communities, and the hopelessness that grips them, really seems to have “caught on” once blacks were burning down black neighborhoods.

Third, and last for this post, the specific popular subculture is not merely influenced by this criminal element it can be said to have been dominated by it. Even to the point that an actual successful artist can lose popularity when he’s discovered to be an ordinary Joe and not the thug he pretended to be.

So, yes, some black people (habitual criminals) commit a lot more crimes so they do run a risk of getting shot in the process. Dur! It probably doesn’t help things that there’s a “we vs they” mentality at work.

Even still, it seems that cops are MORE likely to pull the trigger when it’s a white perp than when it’s a black perp. Of course white people don’t go all NVTS over whites getting shot by police, or whites getting shot in general it sometimes seems, unless the victims are very young of if she was really cute. But oh the drama from the black community over every incident, even with examples of self defense, just so long as the shooter is white, Hispanic, Asian or a cop of any race.

But with blacks shooting blacks, which like whites shooting whites is by far the most common occurrence, there’s hardly a peep heard in the press ... again, unless the victim is very young or cute.

A communist victicrat fantasy if I ever heard one.

These people are their own worst enemies. In fact, they themselves are their only enemies.

The rest of the world is just getting on with life, and are wondering what the hell's the matter with them.

More FAKE news by a racist.

Lost me when she said Eric Garner was killed by the police.

He died of a heart attack in an ambulance.

Same old black Marxist bullshit.

The manifesto denies the trillions spent on trying to help lift the black lower economic class out and upwards but the Democrats keep them down and disenfranchises (many blacks would vote for conservatives in a minute of they were told the truth in plain English on how the libs/left have failed them.

Just another race hustle, environmental wacko rip off attempt, and the typical Democrat “keep ‘em down on the farm (ghetto) with promises and walk around money”.
