Thank you to the "War on Drugs" for making the illicit drug trade lucrative enough where these gangs now control large areas of urban areas.
"It's a throwback to the '50s and '60s, and it's obviously race-baiting," said Del. Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr., a Baltimore Democrat who offered to take McDonough on a guided tour of the Inner Harbor on a weekend night. Leave it to the GOP.
Wasn't needed, this whole thread contains examples of hate crimes against whites. You should read through it.
This was so important that you had to create 2 threads? http://www.politicalforum.com/curre...onough-urges-no-travel-zone-inner-harbor.html
There are thousands of violent crimes committed each day. Yet only a few are posted on this site for the purpose of pushing the white supremacists' desire for a "race war". Violent crime is down... DRAMATICALLY. It would fall even further if we tossed the "War on Drugs" out the window.
From your article. Anthony Guglielmi, a city police spokesman, said the victim told the police he was attacked because of a rivalry between the two schools. It appears the issue, at least according to the alleged victim, is school rivalry and not race.
Oh, so you were just trying to balance everything out, because we can't have people thinking that one side is currently more at fault than the other, now can we?
I don't believe anyone said that. Has the loss of traction in this discussion caused you to escape to the land of fantasy?
From the original post: The progressive social revolution has born this rotten fruit. These teens have no concept of citizenship or being a constructive member of society. Imagine the uproar, if white gangs were beating lone blacks in the streets of America. The progressives would be howling for police action. Yet, right here at PF, the same progressives will try to minimize these attacks or attack the messengers. This is implying that whites are innocent of any violence against blacks which certainly isn't the case.
There have been probably a dozen of these stories over the last month involving gangs of blacks violently attacking and robbing whites at random. Some have been raped/killed. In your feeble attempt at setting up a moral equivalency, you had to go back several years to pull up a handful of stories involving whites attacking blacks. You had to go back and bring up Romney King. You had to go back to the 60's and before. Just the thought of acknowledging that, as of right now, the problem is with blacks attacking whites and not the other way around, makes you sick to your stomach. Like I said, it's really sad when conservatives suffer the same left-wing PC delusions that you are currently exhibiting.
So you think all white attacks against blacks have stopped? Gosh that's a good thing I guess then. But here is the trend: Victims http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2010/november/hate_112210/hate_112210
There are plenty of white on black crimes if you bother to look. http://www.fbi.gov/houston/press-releases/2012/three-men-found-guilty-of-federal-hate-crime-charge-related-to-the-assault-of-african-american-man I can list as many of these as you want until you are satisfied.
Hate crimes are notoriously flawed statistics. They usually require racial epithets being present at the scene of the crime, which usually don't occur. I've already posted statistics that show that 90% of all interracial crime that exists between whites and blacks involve a white victim and black perpetrator.
So hate crime statistics from the FBI are flawed yet interracial crime statistics are ok in your book. I think your choosing stats to fit your argument instead of basing your argument on facts.
Pointless exercise. 9 out of 10 interracial crimes between whites and blacks involve a white victim. But you go ahead and list as many as you feel you need to in order to rest your white guilt plagued soul and sleep well tonight.
That's very ironic, considering it is you who is choosing a subset of the total number of interracial crimes that exist between blacks and whites. I am looking at the overall numbers, which is far less biased than the sample you are selecting from.
