I think all cops should be pulled from black areas and let them have at each other. No harm no foul for any officer.

“I just think there is a war on the black male, and it’s tearing the country apart, in my opinion,” Lee said. “It’s not just killing us — it’s educational system, it’s the prison system, it’s these young black men growing up with no hope. It’s systematic.”

You should test that theory, but when you gather your data, gather all of it, not just the data you like best.

When you have all of the data, look at it closely for cause and effect relationships relating to the black family before and after the "great" society welfare reforms of FDR, Johnson and others.

You might be surprised to discover that the political philosophy and "friends" you've come to trust and depend upon are not as they seem.

Study the data. Let it tell you what it wants to instead of what you want to hear.

If you do, you will find out what kept black families together back in the days before the dads disappeared, why dads disappeared and what they took with them.

Build on that discovery and this war you speak of will evaporate right before your very eyes!

Crappy filmmaker, talentless spike lee should keep his racist uninformed mouth shut. The guy has been smoking some bad juju. If it were a “war against black males” the degenerate idiot wouldn’t be worth many, many millions. Heck...someone would take it all from him by now. What a clueless, malignant idiot.

I see that not much had changed in that time period, in reference to the subject we were discussing. It is probably still the same now too, if those USAFE bases are still open.


I was at Wheelus AFB in Tripoli when we got our asses kicked out of Libya back in 99. It was the first indication that we had some really, really rough road ahead of us with the “rag-heads.” Now, it has come to pass.

The cop. earlier reports that he was black turned out to be wrong.
