Audio of Mike Bloomberg's 2015 speech at the Aspen Institute has gone viral. In his talk, the former New York Mayor who's now running for the Democrat presidential nomination, says that "you can just Xerox (copy)" the description of the murderers and their victims (male, minorities, ages 16-25) and hand it over to the cops. As is always the case with Bloomberg, he had the video of the speech blocked. Sadly for him, however, there are people who have the audio recording.
"95 percent of your murders -- murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, sixteen to twenty-five. That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city," Bloomberg said.
"And that's where the real crime is," the man who's running for the nomination of the supposedly anti-racist Democrat party went on to say. "You've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed. You want to spend the money on a lot of cops on the streets." Once you've got more cops, he argued, you have to "put the cops where the crime is, which means in minority neighborhoods."
Bloomberg even responded to those who'd pull the race card on him. "One of the unintended consequences is people say, 'Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.' Yes, that's true. Why? Because we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods. Yes, that's true. Why do we do it? Because that's where all the crime is."

I'm not sure if Little Mike is even capable of such kind of courage.
Truth is hate to people who hate truth.
Someday Bloomberg needs to learn how to STOP his hate.
Dems can say that with no consequences.
Also go blackface.
Blind squirrel, you have just found your acorn.
Oops. Suddenly he’s going to be called a “Republican” again.
As a nation, isn’t it about time we had a discussion about this kind of bigotry?
RE: Truth is hate to people who hate truth.
I have many reasons to NOT want Bloomberg as President. But his continuation of Rudy Giuliani’s tough on crime policies as Mayor of NYC is not one of them. we in NYC had 20 years of relative peace and order until this commie Mayor De Blasio came along.
Alas, I now find Bloomberg APOLOGIZING for the very same policies that made the city a very safe place to live — YES, MOSTLY FOR BLACKS!
That he does not want to defend this policy that worked so well is really sad.
Bloomberg is a POS but everyone knows this is true.
Is it an accurate statement or not?
An Inconvenient Truth
Someone should copyright that phrase.....
Speaking the truth is a death sentence to the Left
The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasnt taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man.

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

You’ve got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed.
That way the state can defend them???
You can’t tell the truth in the dem party and get elected.
Bloomy: “You’ve got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed”.
Citizen: “How long does it take for the police to arrive on the scene before the victim is shot dead by some hoodlum?”
Bloomy: “The police are really busy taking guns out of the hands of people who are being killed. Once they get all the guns and it isn’t break time and the work load is light, it should take no more than a hour anywhere in the city”
Chorus: “Thanks Bloomy”
It certainly is true that most major crime in America is committed by minorities, especially in the larger cities, where minorities make up the majority anyway. What’s so damning about Bloomberg here is his complete, reckless disregard for real data and instead mouthing off like Archie Bunker on what absolutely IS a sensitive topic.
No, 95% of murderers are not male minorities. Only about 75% of them are minorities, and yes, women do commit crimes too. Being 30% off may not seem so terrible, but flip the numbers and you’ll see the problem more clearly: you go from 35% white or female, to only 5%. That’s not 20%, that’s a factor of SEVEN!
You go from “yes, crime is a particularly large problem in the black community” to “crime is only a black thing.”
Which ignores the fact he was a lifelong Dem BEFORE he was Mayor of New York, only ran on the Republican line in NYC to get ballot access (the RAT primary was way too crowded with big name candidates, while the GOP slot was easy to win) and quickly "left" the Republican Party shortly after that.
It's like when liberals accuse the Chicago Tribune of being a "conservative Republican newspaper". If that's true then why do I DISAGREE with 90% of their editorials and endorsements?
Yes of course
Racism and bigotry is hardly ever mentioned in America
We must open a dialogue
