Is Donald Trump's "law and order" campaign just code for racism? The media and Hillary Clinton sure believe so. After Trump's recent talk in Chester, the front page of the New York Times criticized him for supporting the deportation of people who have been charged with crimes and the aggressive profiling of terrorism suspects as racist and counterproductive.
The theme is echoed with Clinton attacks that Donald Trump appeals to "xenophobic, racist, misogynistic" people.
But who actually cares more about African Americans, in particular poor blacks, who are the most likely victims of violent crime?
High crime rates in urban areas are a result of many failed policies that give African Americans little hope for advancement and cause young black men to turn to gangs. But on everything from education to jobs to directly lowering crime, Trump's policies would offer a lifeline to people who have been losing ground for decades. Clinton's policies will just exacerbate the problems. And no amount of debating points would change that.

They are allowing crimes in their neighborhood and they continue to live in high crime 'hoods. No sympathy.
Wow, this is the best 2nd Amendment article I’ve seen in a long time, especially as regards the election. I’m absolutely floored that it ran in a Philly news site.
