The welfare state destroyed the black family; it is no small irony that black Americans have been clients/captives of Democratic Party politics ever since.

I am more likely, actually, to be murdered by my brother-in-law than anyone named Carlos or Latrell.

Yup.

I think someone did a study once showing that if you are a white man who is murdered in his 50s, your murderer is most likely your spouse/girlfriend who will kill you with either arson or poison.

White bigotry remains a clear and present danger, and the reason so many black Americans die before their time.

Amish street gangs cruise through the hoods in their horse-drawn buggies firing bullets wildly from their full-auto Tec-9's at unsuspecting black teenage boys on their way home from prayer meeting. /sarc

Very true, but the plantation mentality of the RAT party toward blacks is a major factor. Keep ‘em dependent on handouts and they’ll vote for the party that promises more handouts. The RATS have zero interest in improving the lot of poor blacks.

Amen and preach on!

And, as an aside, IMHO these above reasons, for all intents and purposes, are why the world will never see any sort of Islamic "Reformation".

What percentage of the total 16,900 involved a black perp?

If crimes committed by blacks are considered separately, the United States goes from being a leader in Western nations in violent crime, to being far down in the pack.

If the black leadership (self-described) wants to treat everyone as primarily a member of a racial group, then they have some explaining to do for the increased violence and cost that 12% of the population is causing.

“It isn’t the race, it’s the culture.”

You are right. Back in the 30’s thru the 50’s black families were mostly intact. The REALLY did face blatant discrimination. Separate schools, lunch counters etc. They WERE poorer too. Guns were legal everywhere just about. We DID NOT see the violence then though. Why?

....These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."

I never read these writings, but I have watched the culture change since the 1950's. As a kid, I listened to the old timers talk about the cultural advances/changes. I believe the above quote is right on target.

I always say that the GOP could capture the black vote.

The dems have spend a lot of other people's money to secure that vote. I think it would be pretty easy for them, morally, to double that if necessary.

“My guess would be more than half are gang-related.”

Thats why the shootings and murders in the major cities are not such a big deal. The victims for the most part are just other thugs who will or have already killed someone. The perps are also thugs who will at some point, kill again or be killed. They are just doing the cleansing that the guvmint won’t do.

You should tell her the stats on black abortion. Blacks make up about 12% of the US population - yet account for about 40% of ALL abortions...

What in the world does this have to do with the topic discussed in the article? Or are you just trying to hijack this thread?

What the black community needs is young men who will be husbands to the mother of their children and fathers to those children.

Very true but how do we get there from here?

That's 46% of US murders in 2005

By 12% of the population.

They should be truthful with the Black population even if they are labeled racist, they just need to make sure they have the supportable facts. If Blacks get mad at them for preaching the truth and don't vote for them they lose zero votes. However if we start a national conversation with the facts as our starting point we can eventually move on to workable solutions which will be in everyones best interests, except the so called Black Leaders and Liberal Pols who want to keep Blacks down and in need of government (their) help.

“In this deceitful American game of power politics, the Negroes (i.e., the race problem, the integration and civil rights issues) are nothing but tools, used by one group of whites called Liberals against another group of whites called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among whites here in America, the political teams are no longer divided into Democrats and Republicans. The whites who are now struggling for control of the American political throne are divided into “liberal” and “conservative” camps. The white liberals from both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal, and white conservatives from both parties do likewise.”

Well, let's see:

After the debate, a young black woman accosted me indignantly. Ninety-plus percent of black blood is shed by black hands? What about all the victims of white supremacists? Hadn't I heard of lynching? Hadn't I heard of James Byrd, who died so horribly in Jasper, Texas?

There are about 500,000 black babies killed a year by black women yet this woman thinks that two thugs (who happened to white) who killed a black man (and who are on death row) somehow equates to a society that ignores "victims of white supremacists..."

I agree with that. On a basic human level, I understand why Republican politicians tend to stay away from NAACP meetings (for example). The audience will hate them, insult them, and declare them to be racist, so why bother to show up at all?

Well, I think they ought to show up and I think they ough to tell the truth. As you say, it can't really result in lost votes. Eventually, speaking to the people and being truthful will have good results.

Which is also ~94% black-by-black killing.
