While it might not be popular to say in the wake of the recent social disorder, the true plight of black people has little or nothing to do with the police or what has been called "systemic racism." Instead, we need to look at the responsibilities of those running our big cities.
Some of the most dangerous big cities are: St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Newark, Buffalo, and Philadelphia. The most common characteristic of these cities is that, for decades, all of them have been run by liberal Democrats. Some cities — such as Detroit, Buffalo, Newark, and Philadelphia — haven't elected a Republican mayor for more than a half-century. On top of this, in many of these cities, blacks are mayors, often they dominate city councils, and they are chiefs of police and superintendents of schools.

| A lot of very telling statistics in this story. Thanks for posting... Walter Williams uses facts to tell the truth for all who are willing to listen. Years back, Rush would have him on as a guest host while he was on vacation. The guy is brilliant and has a knack for explaining fact very simply. |

Well, wherever it is— the Unions will be there and vocal,and the bernibots/antifa mix in there as well.
Wherever. Maybe they should make it in Minneapolis! Really commit suicide.
Black live$$ matter.
If the slogan were changed to “ALL black lives matter” would Walter Williams be included?
I’ve been in a two day ongoing conversation with a few skulls full of mush on another website. I think I may post this article without Dr. William’s photo and watch their heads explode.
What was left unsaid in this column was the total and complete lack of fathers.
I know quite a few solid, stable and successful in their own way black men. All had a father in the home growing up.
There are others who I know who are good fathers to their children.
I was at work the other day and one of the guys was on the phone reading his son the riot act for doing something stupid. It was before the riots and I don’t know what it was but it was good to hear.
Indeed. I miss him filling in for Rush. He referred to The Congressional Black Caucus or the NAACP as the “Klan with a tan”.
Academic liberals, civil rights advocates, and others blamed the exodus on racism — "white flight" to the suburbs to avoid blacks. But blacks have been fleeing some cities at higher rates than whites. The five cities whose suburbs have the fastest-growing black populations are Miami, Dallas, Washington, Houston, and Atlanta. It turns out that blacks, like whites, want better and safer schools for their kids and don't like to be mugged or have their property vandalized. And like white people, if they have the means, black people cannot wait to leave troubled cities.
Today’s WSJ has excellent column by black female saying exactly the same:
Violence Threatens Black Lives
I am not oppressed. I am free. African-Americans need real policy reforms, not racial antagonism.
