President Barack Obama and his first attorney general, Eric Holder, called for an honest conversation about race. Holder even called us "a nation of cowards" because we were unwilling to have a "national conversation" about race. The truth of the matter is there's been more than a half-century of conversations about race. We do not need more. Instead, black people need to have frank conversations among ourselves, no matter how uncomfortable and embarrassing the topics may be.
Among the nation's most dangerous cities are Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, Milwaukee, Birmingham, Newark, Cleveland and Philadelphia. These once-thriving cities are in steep decline. What these cities have in common is that they have large black populations. Also, they have been run by Democrats for nearly a half-century, with blacks having significant political power. Other characteristics these cities share are poorly performing and unsafe schools, poor-quality city services, and declining populations.
Each year, more than 7,000 blacks are murdered. That's a number greater than white and Hispanic murder victims combined. Blacks of all ages are killed at six times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined. According to the FBI, the police kill about 400 people a year; blacks are roughly one-third of that number. In Chicago alone, so far this year, over 2,000 people have been shot, leaving over 320 dead. It's a similar tale of mayhem in other predominantly black cities.

The picture at the link... shoes tossed over a power line... means this is the place to buy illegal drugs.
Thanks FRiend, I wondered if the shoes had significance.
Dittos ... sadly, his voice is ignored or not heard at all in the ‘black community’.
I’m impressed he got back to you that quickly - guys on our team are the best... we’re blessed.
Amen!!!
God bless Walter Williams, I remember listening to him when he filled-in for Rush Limbaugh way back in the early-mid 1990s, then once I got online about 2002 or so, I could read Walter Williams archives every day.
Walter Williams is a national treasure.
It’s complicated - direction of shoes, what part of wire etc.. basically you’re within four blocks of a place selling illegal drugs. It was explained to me years ago by a fried - an undercover cop - I’ve forgotten the details.
Ditto to that.
