    same as you would call me racist if I said black men are the most dangerous persons in America because they commit over 50% of all violent crimes

    and you wouldn't call a race that's only 13% of the population but commits over 50% of all violent crimes dangerous?

    telling how you will assign a premise to one race
    but will reject it when that same premise is assigned to another race
    which in turn discredits the premise all together

    I don't hear people demonize Muslims. I hear demonize Islam and Muslim extremists.

    Islam is quite horrendous. Muslim extremists are to.

    If you think all Muslims adhere to fundamentalist Islam and are extremists then you are bigoted against Muslims.

    There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant. Immigrant is a legal status. I demonize illegal aliens, they are not immigrants they did not immigrate they invaded. I will continue to do that. They shouldn't be here

    I view BLM as a seditious terrorist organization because it is. That's not demonizing that is stating facts. But I don't hear people demonizing black people.

    So I think you suffer from a persecution complex.

    If it is the same thing how can you defend it without being a hypocrite?

    I didn't see a racist tweet by who I assume you mean to be Trump.

    So I'm not going to say something or condemn something that doesn't exist.

    There aren't saying blacks are dangerous. What this is saying is that it's not white racism that's maintaining the divide.

    You are right in some regards. Per the FBI 2014 crime statistics, 82% of whites murdered other whites. 90% of black killed other blacks.

    Source: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u....f_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2014.xls

    That being said, the story really lies at the total murder rate.

    In 2014:

    Murders by whites (including Hispanic or Latino) were 3,021. Same year, murders by black or African American were 2,451. That accounts for 43% of the total murders in the US by only 14% of the population. That's INSANE if anyone doesn't see this as a problem!

    Lemon should be focused on the real issue in that there is a real problem in the black community that needs to be addressed. Granted, I'm sure his rebuttal to actual stats will be "it's the white man's fault" and I'd almost agree with him. Lyndon Johnson and the civil rights act of 1964 created an environment of dependency and as of today, 73% of black children born are born into a single family home which only perpetuates the cycle.

    I suspect they simply don't have the mental capacity to understand what the **** they're doing, ever.

    Referring to the caravan as an invasion of illegal immigrants isn't demonizing all Hispanics. The travel ban wasn't demonizing all muslims. AND when 73% of the population accounts for the most of something, it is as one would expect. ON THE OTHER HAND when its a small minority of the population that accounts for the most of something, it is not as expected.

    the Trump admin called it a Muslim ban, if they did not want people to think of it as a Muslim ban, then they would of done well not to call it that

    And banning Muslim immigrants when you are engaged in a worldwide campaign against a worldwide campaign of Islamic terrorism, isn't demonizing all Muslims.

    No, it means its not racism to point out when a racial minority is responsible for the majority of something. And it could be racism to point out that the racial majority is responsible for the majority of something. ESPECIALLY when you add call for a "white guy ban"

    The majority is responsible for the majority in the case of rape and assaults.

    It is not so much whether or not what he said is racist, it's the fact that an equivalent statement about black men would be considered racist.

    For example, if someone noted "black men are the biggest violent crime risk in this country" - an accurate statement by the way - that person would be run out of the media by the usual pitchforked mob.

    That is Fake News. The #MSM and the far left called it a Muslim Ban. Trump called it a Travel Ban, which it is and completely legitimate under the powers he has as POTUS.

    Will you learn to stop looking at their supporters and start looking at who the person was. Are the left part of the Nation of Islam (terrorist organization) just because Luis Farrakhan supports them?

    Tim was inspired by a lot, but what set him off was the WHITE potus, (Clinton), and his WHITE AG targeting and killing citizens, especially women and children.

    I don't know who "you people" you are talking about, I am surely never one to have made that statement. Maybe you should learn how to sparse different topics into their own separate threads.

    I don't hold anyone responsible who doesn't live in Chicago for fighting the crime and corruption of the democrats who rule that city for decades. Just as Don shouldn't hold anyone that isn't the bomber, or who isn't the shooter responsible for the individuals actions.

    Yeah, I don't think the blacks in rural republican areas are prone to violence as much as blacks in democrat controlled ghettos are. Just something about law and order the republicans present, and the family values of the area that really are a positive on every racial group in that area.

    You explained that in your post. I didn't freak out. I stated an observation. Sorry it bothered you.

    Don Lemon, like most racist haters, is also exceptionally stupid.

    "Last night, CNN's own Don Lemon speculated that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight may have disappeared from the earth because of something "we don't really understand." That thing? Black holes. An Ivy League astronomer The Wire spoke with thinks that's unlikely."

    Trump admitted it on video, sorry, your gonna have to try again, this is just one I found quickly where he said we have no choice but to ban Muslims



    I think what your tryign to say is the EO was not a Muslim ban, that is not what I am referring too, I am saying Trump said he wanted a Muslim ban and later the closest he could get was his EO as he released he could not get a outright "Muslim Ban" due to the 1st Amendment

    you mean like blacks are the biggest threat to gang violence in Chicago, but we should not fear blacks because most blacks are not gang members

    the fact is, most mass shooters in the USA are white males

    the point he was making was that even though most mass shooters are white males doesn't mean you need to fear all white males are mass shooters

    republicans are trying to scare people into thinking cause some Mexicans are criminals, you should fear all Mexicans, just not true, most are Christians (over 80%) and most are not criminals
