I keep expecting this idiot to say something equally stupid, any day now, about a “chocolate DC”. Not exactly original, but then...neither is anything else he has bleated thus far. Van might want to check the crime stats re: primarily black areas of the country vs. primarily white areas before he spews any more of his racist crap. LA riots? Katrina looting? All forgotten, apparently.
If I were a pithy racist, my comeback might be: “Of course not. Typically those type of shootings entail planning and the ability to think beyond the next 30 minutes. Judging from the example set forth by Mr. jones, we see that young black men just aren’t that capable...”
Of course I would never say that...
(all apologies to my fellow Freepers who aren’t vanilla like me...)

Seriously, though, the vitriol that people like Mr. Jones pour out on any person of color who does not march lock-step with his views --that's what is pathetic.
It's folks like Mr. Jones who WANT there to be strife between folks of different skin color, who want to judge on the basis of skin color, as opposed to character. It's about power. I don't see him crying out about the 11 million black babies snuffed out in the womb since 1973. When I see those tears, maybe I'll cut him slack.
