Well, I disagree with you. I see a lot of racism from blacks, whether they work or not, even while they accuse whites of it. I pretend not to see it, as most whites do, but it’s there.
And the Left is not separate from blacks in America. Black America makes up a big part of the Left.
From my personal experience, I agree with you. And even if we are wrong about the numbers, it is foolish for conservatives to fall into the trap of identity politics.
Conservatives do not judge people by the color of their skin. The left hurls many accusations which are nothing more than a reflection of their own hypocrisy.
Unfortunately, not everyone on Free Republic is truly conservative.
Conservatives condemn mob violence without regard to the color of the crowd. We condemn abuse of power regardless of color, race, religion or political party.
Case in point. In NYC in 2008, after the acquittal on most charges of the officers involved in the Sean Bell shooting (which was clearly justified, IMO) Al Sharpton promised to shut down the city with mass protests, blocking roads and bridges. He ended up getting a turnout of about 200 people.
There are over 2 million black people in NYC, so 99.99% ignored Sharpton.
Now crime statistics show that there are way too many thugs in the black community, but they also show that those thugs are not even close to the majority.
Well said.
Well said!
Well said!
Look around you.

Well, yes, if you are looking at the ghetto punks that they show on TV. But respectable black people are no more in favor of that sort of behavior than I as a white person am in favor of the behavior I see in white trash such as Bill Clinton.
The Left and its propaganda wing are CLEARLY trying to incite race wars, though I don’t know what their end game is. I’m sure it won’t be good for good, decent people, whether black or white though.

True. The end game, I think, is to usher in the dictatorship, and causing chaos and eradicating civic virtue fit right into that goal.
