And about all this nonsense about “we need a discussion on race in this country”…what another giant load of liberal drivel! The only discussion that needs to happen is within the black community. 90% of black murders victims are committed by other blacks. Blacks are 13% of the U.S. population but commit 50%+ of the murders in the U.S. The black arrest rate for most offenses—including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes—is typically two to three times their representation in the population. The George Zimmerman’s of the world are not the problem folks!
This case is just a giant smoke screen for Al Sharpton, NAACP and the liberal media once again to distract everyone from the real issue, which is personal responsibility in the black community. Why isn’t the NAACP “demonstrating” when thousands of blacks get gunned down by other blacks every year in U.S. cities? 75% of black households are fatherless, why isn’t the NAACP and AL Sharpton talking about that? If your going to make babies how about sticking around and raising the kids? Instead of this endless shifting the blame off yourself on to “white racism” or the “American criminal justice system”.
Civil-rights leaders today choose to keep the focus on white racism instead of personal responsibility, but their predecessors knew better. A quote from MLK below:
“Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58% of its crimes? We’ve got to face that. And we’ve got to do something about our moral standards,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a congregation in 1961
“We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can’t keep on blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves.”
