I was thinking the same thing. BTW, there are THOUSANDS of crimes committed by blacks against whites every year, with little to no national hand-wringing. One or two whites (or a Hispanic) kill a few blacks, and it is the greatest tragedy since the Civil War. These are tragedies when innocent people are killed. These are outrages when one political party uses tragedies and incidents to inflame and instigate more hate. Our President, who acts like a thug, and only cares about one half of this country, is disgrace. I hope that in the future, people see him for what he is: a vile man who played with racial fire for political gain.
I suspect you didn't intend it, but it's not a half. Which brings to mind some survey I read about high school or perhaps college students, which revealed that they thought the black population was, yes, the half of the country. In fact it's only 12%, if that, but the media and the educational and political establishments make it appear to be half of the country. And it sticks. And it's false, and it don't count, and it oughta be dismissed, discarded, and ignored with all its cultural diseases, the same that the 12% of checkers players are!
