Blacks must save selves from crime

[Nat Turner]

Well he started out ok until that structural racism thing came out

Unless he meant the liberal power structure (ie govt schools, media , politics)

[English Nationalist]

As usual, it's all the fault of the white man. Excuse me while I grab a sick bag.

Benin Dakar

I wonder if this is his real name?

[2banana]

However, due to ongoing structural racism, gross inequality in educational opportunity, and the lack of job training and high-wage jobs in many African-American communities, black males have more chances to become involved with the criminal justice system.

I guess 75% of black babies born out of wedlock and into the welfare system has nothing to do with it...

[RexBeach]

His real name is Lenny Slobodnick, Jr.

Oh, right, there's no such thing as racism. Whites and blacks and all the other colors live together in perfect harmony.

And there's no such thing as injustice, either. Cops are perfect, judges are perfect, life is just a bowl of cherries.

[ExpatGator]

Black on black crime? Has this chump read the DOJ statistics? Blacks commit the majority of ALL violent crime. The figures are even uglier when adjusted for their representation of the population.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'd go with Benin Dakar too under the circumstances.

[CobaltBlue]

I think it's a good article.

Racism and injustice do exist but that's no excuse for not living right.

[Brilliant]

The main reason blacks are in this position is that anytime a white police officer goes near a black man, the accusations of racism are rampant.

[CobaltBlue]

Well, why do blacks accuse white cops of racism? Are they all liars? Are there no racist white cops?

I know a lot of racist blacks and I know a lot of racist whites. It exists. Don't pretend it doesn't.

It's a sin to tell a lie.

It is up to us — black Americans — to do what we can and must do to save ourselves.

Not true. It is up to us — Americans — to do what we can and must do to save our countrymen.

I could start a school tomorrow, in a black community, but few kids would listen to a white guy...

I've thought about it, and done some research. It does require leadership from role models, though. That much is absolute. We just need to open that both ways.

Our downfall is that we now worship Mickey Mantle, more than Thomas Jefferson. Martin Luther King gets a holiday, and we don't even know which Presidents are celebrated on their day. Christmas has been replaced with Winter Break, and Easter has everything to do with eggs.

The courts have allowed perverts to be given rights, reserved for families, and want to give further blessing to illicit relationships through marriage. Meanwhile millions of tiny babies have been sucked from the womb.

It isn't just a black and white problem, though it often is. Our country is going to hell, in a handbasket...

[bonfire]

When it's considered cool to have a baby at 14 there's no hope.

My daughter's 9th grade dance class had 5 Black and Hispanic girls bragging and proud of their pregnancies.

Having a baby for these kids was like owning a cell phone or expensive tennis shoes.

[Brilliant]

I think that when a white cop beats up a white guy, there is a tendency to give the cop the benefit of the doubt. When a white cop beats up a black guy, it's always portrayed as racism. Some times it is, but some times it isn't.

[funkywbr]

It's also no excuse for looking at your neighborhood and wanting more.

Or no excuse for picking on the black nerd in the hood who does.

Or no excuse for impregnating multiple women marrying none and bragging about it.

Just to mention a few.

And back to Crosby, when he spoke the truth, lo and behold the black racists pimps dragged out someone to accuse him of being a cliton to destroy his credibility never looking at the irony of their unwaivoring support of cliton.

Looks like the joke is on the Dem voting black man as they allow the Rich White man to WALK and don't allow the Rich Black man to TALK (sense).

Hysterical aint it?

[CobaltBlue]

What is needed -- oh, Lord, how much some people need. If someone is raised up wrong, an entire army of social workers and do-gooders can't make up for what was left out.

What is needed is an intact, loving family, mama and daddy both taking care of their children.

What is needed is an intact, functional community, where people work hard and abide by the rules.

What is needed is good teachers.

What is needed is honest cops.

What is needed is honest judges.

What is needed is to be treated with respect because you earned it, and to treat others with respect because they deserve it.

What is needed is to love your neighbor as yourself.

What is needed is to do the right thing.

[Terabitten]

What's important here is that this guy at least gets half of it right. He's right that black communities must begin policing themselves. That's the important thing.

The guy seems to me to be what I call an honest liberal: one who identifies the same problem as a conservative, but simply differs on how best to correct it. Most liberals now deny that the problem even exists, and create new and different problems.

Look on the brightside...it's not very much farther till we hit bottom and then there is no where else to go but up!

Honestly, I think it will get better.
