FACT 1. Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.

Clearly you dont.

These are just facts. The victims of these affirmative action policies are the minorities, not my children. Those policies made my children tougher; they made the minorities weaker. This is what I would whine about: The minorities should have the same opportunities my kids have - the opportunity to earn what they get in life and have pride.

Well not everyone has the same starting line in life. Most of the problems the black community faces could be corrected by making the schools they attend get their shite together. I know easier said than done.

Its really becoming an epidemic.
Just this year alone, 2700 people have been shot in Chicago.

This is just as much his country as it is yours. I dont agree with what he did but to act like he should be banned from the country is utter bs. This country was built on the idea of free speech.

No he's not. He's standing up for pile of fricking lies. frick him and everything he represents

So unarmed black people arent being killed by cops? Even if they are criminals they arent being given their day in court. No unarmed citizen of this country should be shot by police. We have non lethal tactics.

FACT 1. Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.

According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968, according to the Tuskegee Institute.

FACT 2. Black People (mostly men) commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime.

In 2012, white males were 38 percent of the population and committed 4,582 murders. That same year, black males were just 6.6 percent of the population but committed a staggering 5,531 murders.

In other words: black people–at just a fifth of the size–committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts.

The figures above highlight a horrific truth that black racialists and white liberals routinely ignore: Lawbreaking black Americans, young black males particularly, put themselves in close proximity to (mostly white male) police officers at rates sometimes five to 10 times higher than whites. This is a recipe for disaster. Thusly….

FACT 3. Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years.

DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, black people committed 52% of homicides.

In 2013, black criminals committed 38% of the murders. Whites accounted for just 31 percent.

There are five times fewer black people than white people in America and, yet, they consistently carry out a larger share of the crimes? Given this rate, it’s no wonder that there aren’t more assistances where cops kill black criminals.

FACT 4. Chicago’s death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

There have been almost as many deaths in one American city as there have been in the two major wars carried out by the U.S. military this century.

Chicago’s death toll from 2001–November, 26 2015 stands at 7,401. The combined total deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2015: 4,815) and Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan (2001-2015: 3,506), total 8,321.

FACT 5. It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone.

University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime data from the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control and found that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this sam

Ha ha. Yeah how dare we hold cops to a higher standard than criminals

I saw KAep talk last night and it was a lot more positive with things he was going to do to be part of the solution.

Hate to give you that P&G tint, but Eric Reid is getting in there and leading this in a positive direction.

Tell that to the families of veterans that lost their lives defending our country. Tell it to the 5 year old boy who will never see his dad again.

What the hell are you talking about? You do realize there is more to the flag and national anthem than the armed forces, right? He isnt sitting while the armed forces are being acknowledged. All those heros that gave their life defending our freedoms would acknowledge that its his right to have civil disobedience.

Every single time he has spoken in a press conference he said that he supports the armed forces 100%, yet you just want to believe that he doesnt. He even brought up the subject of the US not taking care of the veterans once they come home from war. Youre making this about the military and it has nothing to do woth the military.

Maybe we should quota the players by race. Just to be fair........

White Americans are the racial majority. African Americans are the largest racial minority, amounting to 13.2% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to 17% of the population, making up the largest ethnic minority.
