Its not racism about who is committing most of the crime, its a fact. This PC crap is destroying our country. Holmes County and most of Bennie Thompson’s Congressional district is a cesspool.

PC crap? You didn't see the story a couple of days ago about the non-black meth heads who shot up her 10-year old daughter and then raped and murdered her?

The fact is, the overwhelming majority of blacks don't commit violent crimes, just like the overwhelming majority of all other races.

Broad-brushing a group of people using crime statistics dilutes the reality that crimes are ultimately committed by individuals, not groups.

There have been several cases on FR when a story about violence is posted wherein everybody starts doing the "0bama's son" dance, only to find out that the perp wasn't black.

To me, it smacks of the same erroneous over-generalization that some blacks engage in with respect to whites. I see no constructive purpose in such race-baiting.

So, yes, blacks commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime. They are also disproportionately represented in several other negative statistics. That's no excuse for indulging in racial animus on anyone's part.

How many black voters do you think Trump would be able to attract if, every time a violent crime occurred, he started bleating about "0bama's sons"? There's a right way and a wrong way to enlighten people. Knee-jerk racial antagonism isn't the right way.

Vote Trump!
