Don't you ever say 'black on black crime' again

147. I don't know anyone who isn't racist that is terrified of being called racist...

Racism is prevalent in this nation. To be factual, the nation was built by white supremacist using the labor of others to complete the task. So I don't hide from the term when it is used, I more often than not try to remember the reasons the term is being used and then try to find justification for or opposition to the term based upon the evidence used by the person presenting the term.

Your analogy regarding a drug that works in the case of blacks as opposed to whites is just that, an analogy. You are stating emphatically that the systems of all African Americans in this nation are the same. Not all black people have high blood pressure, so even though a larger number may be diagnosed with the disease, there are many factors that go into the causation of the problem, not just a diet that includes too much salt. Where did you get your facts? It is a proven fact that a scientist can make a study say whatever he/she wants it to say, I'm sure you're aware of that.

Regarding your statement that we are twisted into whatever you claim we are twisted into when it comes to SNAP, I have to also remind you that even if your percentages are correct, the reasons behind the facts need to be dealt with...we need to ask ourselves why this is, if we do, we often find that facts lead to inequality due to conditions that were created during the inception of this nation, after it was taken from the native Americans. What caused the conditions? You should study that before discounting a person that would say many of these conditions come from pure unadulterated racism.

RE: Your interpretation of Stranger Homicides and AA's as you abbreviate the term, I have to again ask...where are you getting your statistics and what kind of crimes are you including in your statistics...did you consider white collar crime? I wonder.
