Of all gun assailant crimes, 83% are committed by blacks and 15% more by Hispanics. Only 2% are committed by whites.
73% of black children are now born out of wedlock.
While only 20% of the population, blacks commit over 80% of all felonies.
90% of blacks who are the victims of crime are the victim of another black.
14,000 rapes reported last year by blacks against white women. ZERO by white men against black women.
And we wonder why the things that Obama mentioned in his speech today happen - why white women are nervous on an elevator with only a black man in there too? Why whites traveling along on the sidewalk will cross the street when a group of black males come toward them?
Why when a black man is walking and stops at an intersection to wait for a traffic signal, he hears cars doors locking around him?
I've said it repeatedly - the problem isn't whites "going after" blacks - the fact is genuine fear, backed up by the FBI national crime stats.
When the black community cleans up its own house, and not until, things like Martin/Zimmerman will happen.
We need more of the Bill Cosby kind, and a lot fewer Sharptons, Jacksons, and their ilk.
This is not racism - it's pure numbers.
One other thing ... sort of adding to your point ...
Obama's leadershit on this item is awful.
Yea its leadershit ...
No that's not for all the other wing nuts to bash him on everything ... but on the zimmy issue its lacking.
Its one of those things he should have said one of em Gandhi-esque statements like ... my brothers and sisters, please do not attack each other ...
Cool.
