"The answer? Quit making it too comfortable to just lie around doing drugs and complaining because some of the other folks they see on TV are doing better. Of course there is poverty, relatively speaking, in the ghetto. Yet, I didn’t see many malnourished demonstrators the other night. Even the yellow-shirted “Mother of the Year,” looked pretty well fed to me!"

Correct and every mumbeling POS on the news that probably cant spell justice had a cigi-butt in the mouth or hand. Last I looked a pack of smokes was 8.00 bucks.What a load of crap

The Revered Al Sharpton chimed in with a need for a national police force, and Filmmaker Michael Moore demanded that America’s police officers be disarmed, and all African-Americans imprisoned for non-violent crimes be released. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton seemed to agree, with her own plan to put an “end to the era of mass incarceration.”

How about listening to someone with more experience in these matters.

The quote below has been in FR several times with sources. Has anyone stats that show St. Louis is alone in this? That no other city with numbers like those?

Would the Huffington Post allow this if there was some way to refute it?

President Obama's Elevator (Update)

Here's what Dr. King had to say about crime within the black community in 1961, and the general situation is still true today:

Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58 percent of its crimes? We've got to face that. And we've got to do something about our moral standards. We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can't keep on blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves.

I didn't find the quote on my own. Jason L. Riley at the Wall Street Journal found it for his excellent July 15 article: "Race, Politics and the Zimmerman Trial." After he published, he was accused of making it up.

Riley wrote a follow-up on July 18 citing the quote's source: "A James Baldwin profile of King that appeared in a 1961 issue of Harper's Magazine. I was a little taken aback by the accusation, and not just because the Harper's piece can be located and read without too much effort via Google."

Riley's accusers "apparently just couldn't believe that the nation's most prominent civil rights leaders used to speak this way about problems in the black community and the role of personal responsibility."

Too late. The lie has been splashed about and the media/left machine has moved on to the next clash locale.
