“The liberal’s solution to any crime problem is to legalize whatever the criminals are doing.”

That and also to rationalize EVERYTHING of service to the agenda.

Just like the illegal aliens, a certain segment of the black population wants their criminality to be above the law? Are we starting to see a pattern here of minorities telling us that we should all just turn a blind eye to lawlessness? Meanwhile,more and more black on black crime occurs along with more black on white crime and
this segment paints itself as the victim.

I’m so tired of this.

People need to be taught respect. It isn’t innate. But there are certain demographics that just aren’t raised that way anymore. And we need to change that.

I frankly don’t care whether black children respect black adults - that’s their business. But by God they need to be taught to respect white people! Once upon a time that wasn’t even in question, and we didn’t have knockout games and white girls being set on fire. We need to go back to the customs of respect that kept this country safe.

You said...
“Comments?”
Yes.

Were in the article does the author hold the black youths at least partially responsible for their behavior?

Rhetorical question...I know he doesn't

It’s time to have a talk about the liberal premise that ANY racial inequality is just more proof that whites are racist.

History will prove that Charles Murray was right.

I was one of only two white kids at the school I went to in Boston (post bus riots), and we were surrounded by a few of the older kids and had a gun pointed to our heads and told not to return next year. When the school admin were told about what happened they did nothing except to say accept the advice and go somewhere else next year.

Too bad, it looked like something that the gang at “Protest Warrior” would do.

Black racists want young black thugs given a pass on account of their skin color not their character.

What’s missing from Ebony Howard’s overheated diatribe? Any discussion of the “c” word.

Without that we’re breeding feral savages, not young men.

Just wait until Obama’s Justice Department demands that local and state law enforcement “equalize” arrest and conviction rates for blacks and non-blacks similar to the demand they have already made that schools “equalize” rates of disciplinary action for blacks and non-blacks.

Simple problem, simple recipe...

Many more whites need to perform criminal acts so that the percentages average out. Seems that is the only solution for these racist comments by Sharpton and others.

As said earlier - can’t we just all get along...ha. Fat chance with today’s racist leaders. Hello Al Sharpton!

With Garner in NYC there was a bit of a case for the anti-police forces. But Ferguson was a no brainer.

SPLC opposes the disciplinary actions that are necessary to create an atmosphere where at least some kids will have a chance. Oh well, at least if you get complete chaos no one’s civil rights will have been violated...

Why doesn't the law matter? Why doesn't the truth matter? Why doesn't reason matter? Why doesn't common sense matter?

Powerful Jag... thanks for sharing.

Stereotypes are a product of pattern recognition.

That's an excellent description. Thanks.

90% of the time a black youth is killed, that youth is killed by another black person. How does the SPLC plan to address that problem?
