Actually, Floriduh was the beginning (zimmerman). This is just another rung on the ladder.

Say Lew, did you ever consider the numbers and guns on each side? You may have the edge on lack of education but the other side has a much more significant edge. Y’all will surely become a much shorter minority!

Except, as Sportin’ Life says in Porgy and Bess, “It ain’t necessarily so.”

Uh, Lew. . . If you actually read Porgy and Bess—the nuns taught you how to read, when you were a Catholic-school B-ball star, right?—Sportin' Life was a liar who represented the devil. How appropriate that you're quoting him as your authority.

Sadly, Kareem is right. Our major cities where minorities outnumber whites are tinder boxes. No jobs, lousy schools, single parent households, high dependence on government handouts, drugs, and crime are endemic. These cities are becoming cesspools ala Detroit. The anger and frustration of a permanent and growing underclass will lead to riots and civil unrest. In fact, it has been going on for some time with the flash mobs and knockout games. The liberals are in charge and responsible for the decay of our cities. Baltimore is just the canary in the coal mine.

Very insightful kabar, I couldn’t agree more.

On the next level the people that are most entrusted to correct this DIRE situation are the elected democRATS and we know they will form a committee to figure out how to blame responsible people while they steal their metropolis BLIND.

For 15 Million they will blame you.

About 70 unarmed blacks have been killed by police between 1999 and 2014.

Annually a few times more than that whites are murdered by Black Americans than whites murder blacks -- and whites outnumber blacks at least six-to-one. see FBI Table 6 homicide data in link below.

White lives matter.. like a three-pointer. I guess.

Check the federal crimes stats link Several varieties are together in one table and all have precise federal government sources. See the fact that more whites die in Arrest-Related Deaths (ARD) than blacks.. look at the crimes by race (NIBRS). The NCVS survey data . . . .

Kareem Abdul Jabbarabbadingdong, another Black Man who became wealthy because White people ponied up money to watch him and has lived for decades in wealthy White communities in the lifestyle of the rich White people he condemns and has the audacity to speak as if he is a discriminated minority. Abdul you stopped be a poor discriminated against Black man an eternity ago!

(After the split, Khaalis had become an outspoken critic of the Nation of Islam and its leader Elijah Muhammad. He and some followers started a Hanafi Muslim community in Washington and setup a Hanafi Muslim Center in a Tudor style home on 16th St. NW, which was purchased for them by basketball star Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who had close ties to the Hanafi group.)

Stop screwing with the cops
Get an entry level job
Clean up your act
Become responsible
Start acting responsibly with women
Respect women
Don’t father out of wedlock children
Forget the drugs
Drink moderately
Spend your money on things that will make you life better long term
Parent your children
Quit partying with your friends even after you have kids
Treat your parents with respect
Treat businesses in your area with respect
Lose the ‘tude
Lose the chip on your shoulder
Clean up your home
Clean up your yard
Help out your neighbors
Do things to make your kids lives better
Support youth programs
Spend time sparingly in clubs
Go to church
Gain a new respect for God
Don’t expect government or anyone else to support you.
Take pride in being productive
Invest in your own community
God first
Family second
Others next
You next
Drop all affiliation with gangs

If even 75% of Blacks would tune into this, the Black communities in this nation would fluorish.

Kareem forgets that the white, usually rich liberal Democrats have run and ruined Baltimore since Nancy Pelosi’s brother was the cowardly mayor during the riots of 1968.

Half the black politicians belonged to one of the various black political machines, a few honest, most out for themselves and crooked as hell (i.e. the Mitchells).

Baltimore once had a rising black middle class. A teacher and his professional business wife bought our house in Ashburton in the mid-60’s. The black middle class had arrived in suburbia but the black criminal class wasn’t too far behind heading up from North Avenue to Hilton and Liberty Heights, and then north on Liberty to the county line.

The old white plantation and slavemasters was eventually replaced by a combined white/black set of Democrat Party masters who kept the black masses down on the welfare plantation (You vote for me and I’ll get you more welfare, food stamps, money, and false promises about rising out of our imposed misery).

Kareem, while we are at it. You projections of violence should be running directly against your Moslem beliefs, esp. since your Hanafi Moslem group was literally wiped out by another bloodthirsty Moslem sect in Wash. DC in the 1970’s.

I just missed getting caught in the assailants assault on the Jewish B’Nai Brith Building on Massachusetts Ave NW/Rhode Island Ave.

One journalist killed at the DC City Hall takeover where a City Councilman, the crook for life Marion Barry, was wounded. They fanatics also took over the DC Moslem Center on Massachusetts Avenue NW.

I would think that you would renounce violence as a solution to anything given your past suffering. Be a man, be a peacemaker.

Batimore isnt the canary in the coal mine. It is the poster city for failure of Democrat city fathers after 50 years of power. A billion dollars has been poured into Baltimore, and this is what it bought. Welcome to a rerun of Detroit.
