Congressional Black Caucus Blames Republicans For Dallas Massacre
The Federalist ^ | July 8, 2016 | Bre Payton

Democrat Rep. G.K. Butterfield blamed Republicans for the five officers who were massacred by a racially motivated gunman in Dallas Thursday night.

“The Republicans in Congress are refusing to address gun violence in America that targets black men and black women and Hispanic men and Hispanic women and, yes, even police officers,” Butterfield said while flanked by other members of the Congressional Black Caucus — just hours after five officers were shot and killed while trying to protect protestors who were rallying against police brutality....

“gun violence in America that targets black men”

Gun violence doesn’t target black men; black men target black men.

In 1959, AAMD set the IQ threshold for mental retardation at < 85.

The civil rights movement of the next decade forced psychologists to rethink this boundary, because half the African American population fell below it.

In 1973, responding to this concern, AAMD (by then AAMR) changed the threshold for retardation from IQ < 85 to IQ < 70. The boundary moved south by one standard deviation!

The proportion of blacks below the threshold instantly dropped from about 50 percent to 12 percent. Subsequent refinements made it still more difficult to meet the criteria for retardation.

When Binet in 1905 produced the first IQ test, it promised to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of mental retardation. A half century later it came under attack for reasons Binet could not have imagined. Could any of the pioneer psychometricians have foreseen Larry P. v. Riles (1979), a California class-action suit that focused on IQ testing of young black children? The court held that IQ tests were not valid for African Americans.

It banned California from using the tests for placing black students in classes for the “educable mentally retarded” or equivalent categories on the grounds that the tests were biased. After a series of appeals, the district court ruled that no special education related purposes exist for which IQ tests could be administered to black pupils.

Though only a California ruling, the case began a political assault on standardized testing that has spread beyond the IQ test to college entrance exams, promotional exams and more.

The ""Black Pot" speaks. These people are morally responsible for what happened in Dallas.

Wait, I thought that according to the CBC police are targeting and killing blacks. Are they in effect saying we need gun control for the police?

Is there a White Caucus?

I wont read this filth because it’s too absurd.

I am, however, very excited about the day of reckoning.

Blame shifting is how immature people behave. They shame themselves.

Good thing my rifle is locked behind a safe door. I would hate it if that thing got out and attacked black people. Wait a minute...my rifle is black... Would that make it black-on-black violence?

Actually I think they are demanding that guns be taken out of the hands of blacks.

Like blaming gravity for an airplane crash. America is fundamentally stupid beyond repair.

just like how Republicans refused to address gun violence when those muzzies in Dallas and the one in Orlando Florida committed mass murder in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

The CBC- will say or do whatever the democrat party embarrasses them with, without question or hesitation.

With the preponderance of that targeting coming from within those very groups themselves. How about you members of the Black Caucus address these groups about the violence they perpetrate, whether it be by gun or some other type of weapon.
