Political correctness forbids us from having a frank discussion about the issues involved here. You aren’t allowed to say that black on black violence, minority youth gang violence, etc. happens more frequently than such violence among whites. We have to be politically correct.

Tell me about it. Heck, we cannot even have a frank discussion about the Paula Deen story let alone have a discussion on this one. On Facebook, I got into it with many others (1) including my high school social studies teacher and another who pulled the "I was just a poor, black kid" Race Card, he graduated ten years after me. I did have a few supporters though. I see myself generally as a libertarian and as such I try to see people as individuals and for the most part I do unless the person is so far gone into groupism, they become a lost cause. It's a sad fact, but true, with some exceptions, many minorities favor the group over the individual and use it as weapon on society to get their ways. I know Barry Goldwater voted against Civil Rights Act of 1964 because I think he foresaw it as weapon for groups to use to get their way against individuals, other groups and society at large. It paved the way for the group to be more important than the individual or property/business owner. I think all of that started with the sit in's in the 1950's where if the owner of a business refused to serve someone of a different race. Yes, it is not a good thing to do to another person or people plus it generally cuts into the pool of dollars that business owner could tap into under our free market system, but being a property and/or business owner does have it's perks.

Like I said above, we cannot have a frank discussion on something as minor as Paula Deen let alone Travon Martin/George Zimmerman case, if we can't do that, we cannot address these issues either.

(1) - OK, spare the "I told you so's" about Facebook debates, I asked myself in retrospect, when will I ever learn? Still there are times you can't let things go unanswered.
