white cops vs black criminals

If she cared about helping blacks, she would tell them to stop having 75% of their kids out of wedlock. But she won't say that, because liberals don't like to tell people that they are generally responsible for their own lot in life. Much better for her, politically speaking, to tell them that it's all some honkey's fault.

I don't normally speak up in this thread, but I guess I walked myself into this when I jumped on the boards this morning knowing there would be a thread about this. I just wanted to share my observations which are really well summarized by the quote above:

We (everyone) need to stop bundling people together into stereotypes in situations like this. A lot of these recent events have been caused by it; the black community thinking a disproportionate # of cops are out to kill them, cops apparently feeling threatened by a disproportionate # of people of color, the media thinking that a disproportionate # of shootings have some sort of societal prejudice behind them, people thinking that ALL democrats or ALL republicans think the same, and then we finally get last night, where stupid criminals feel like they need to mow down all white police officers... I don't think you get to where we went last night without the above pot stirring that has been going on for years.

Take the damn hate out of it for a minute, get some responsible journalism and community outreach, and stop freaking stirring the pot at every chance you have. Hate breeds hate, and it rarely manifests itself in the same way it was delivered.

OK, so I won't say that we need to address the fact that 75% of black kids are born out of wedlock, because that might hurt someone's feelings...

If saying it results in some sort of change, then its worth it. If its just an attempt to further marginalize a group of people by layering a demeaning statistic over their section of the population, you're maybe ONLY accomplishing hurting someones feelings, and that seems like hate to me.

I don't know that any of us here are legislators who can write laws. I'm pretty sure this is a forum for debate, not a forum for actually forming public policy.

Liberals ignore the actual issues (and solutions) applicable to this community, and instead make it worse, by telling them to blame whitey for everything. Sorry if you don't like hearing that. Fortunately for you, there are mechanisms here to block me so you don't have to see anything I have to say.

I get riled up when ambitious liberal liars work up a mob which turns its fury on innocent heroes.

Obama says that white cops are engaged in a conspiracy to kill all of them. And the liberals say I am the hatemonger.

I'm supposed to believe that there's any moral equivalence between what cops do to blacks, and what they do to each other every day in Chicago.

Our moral compass is so completely screwed up as shown by these comments, that we probably deserve this sonofabitch as our President.

I know a bunch of cops that don't "do" anything to blacks as you say, and a number of black people who don't kill each other every day. As I said before, your stereotyping is doing nothing but furthering an agenda of hate. I think you have some level of a justified point buried in here somewhere, but your hate for the president and apparent hate for black people is making that point VERY difficult to understand.

"I know a bunch of cops that don't "do" anything to blacks as you say, and a number of black people who don't kill each other every day"

Nobody ever said that 100% of cops do anything, or that 100% of black people kill each other. God's sake. How would you describe what is happening in Chicago, out of curiosity?

"your stereotyping "

Are blacks killing each other in huge numbers in places like Chicago, yes or no? Do they need effective solutions to their plight, yes or no?
