Those white people have grown tired of the constant victim hood card thrown in their face every turn. Blacks are losing ground with that important white majority.

This. They commit crimes, but it's not their fault or they "made a mistake". Committing a crime is far more serious than a "mistake". When people start taking responsibility for their behavior and behave, they just might earn a little respect.

I remember a recent criminal trial in Central Louisiana where some black youth robbed and attacked a couple of priests, and actually shot one of them. One of the defendants' mother had the audacity to publicly plea to the Judge to not sent her son to jail but instead let "Jesus" rehabilitate him. The Judge listened patiently and then looked at the three boys and told them that given their past records and current crime for which they had been convicted, he couldn't see one thing socially redeeming about them and then gave them their jail time.

Take responsibility for your behavior and quit blaming everyone else when you misbehave.
