The ignorace on this thread is astonishing.

She never said ANYTHING about the race of a possible shooter.

The DC snipers shot blacks AND whites.

I am ashamed to see this crud crawl out of FR.

She never said ANYTHING about the race of a possible shooter...

She implied, of course...the trick is to plant the seed inside of people's heads without having the words actually come out of her mouth.

Undoubtedly you've heard that if he's not elected, it just means that America isn't "ready" for a black President. I don't need to have anyone explain to me when I'm being called a racist...and I don't need to be told when someone is playing the race card.

If she had said, "My black husband could get shot going to the gas station. Black on black crime in our community has to stop.", then it would be fine. But she did not acknowledge the problem lies in the black community.

What people are disturbed about is that she and many other black "leaders" take no responsibility for their own situation, the crime in their communities, and their claimed poverty.

By leaving her statement open-ended, she's being another black victim. She's blaming the problem on white society.

That, my friend, is playing the race card.
