But that Richmond nightclub was a place neither you, your friend nor his wife would ever step foot in.

Interestingly, the Times Dispatch has a fake news article announcing that 90 percent of the legislative aides at the General Assembly are white.

The real news story would be about how more than 90 percent of the murder victims and perpetrators are black, and the causes for that.

It is definitely a shared responsibility, however, being conservative it not the problem. These faux conservatives are just liars. THe problem is idealogical enslavement to big government by the MSM. Wake up America. Be a proud American, it is time to concentrate on the American people, not the self-serving politicians.

when jobs are scarce, and wages low, you make the economic decisions to sell drugs, steal, and sell stolen goods. These activities have occupational hazards and risks of getting shot.

Drugs and violent gangs is not really much different than Prohibition in the 1930s when bootlegger gangs shot up their competition for turf and market share.

Stop making sense.

How will they blame this on white people?

How about, "The percentage of African Americans of those killed rose because whites have increasingly avoided African Americans?"

Here is a voting map for the presidential election 2016. Red is Trump. Blue is Hilary. You see that dark blue spot in the center of the eastern part of the state of Virginia? That is Richmond. That is where this killing is going on. Richmond is a flaming liberal city in a generally conservative state.

Most of the problem with Virginia is those 3 blue NoVa counties right near Washington DC. If I was the Governor of Virginia, I would ask the legislature to gift Washington DC those liberal counties and remove them from the Commonwealth of Virginia. VA would go right back to being a solid GOP state again. Just like that. But yes, Richmond is very very liberal.

Of interest.

...with African-Americans suffering the greatest loss of life at 81 percent of all victims.

So, what percent of the killers were African-Americans?

“How will they blame this on white people?”

By only bemoaning “African-American” victims, and neglecting to mention the perps were also black, that’s how.

[okie 54]

Just think what the numbers would be in the dark featured gentlemen knew how to shoot

[Colinsky]

So, what percent of the killers were African-Americans?

The article spends 33 paragraphs bemoaning the disproportionate rate of victims in the black community. Only in paragraph 34 do we learn that 91% of the perps were black.

Thanks, caught that after I posted.

There is always massive liberal arm twisting and cries of racism if you don’t tow the line and give away money to minorities much of it ending up in the Left’s pocket up in so I’ll give them MOST of the blame.
