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!
