You're right...Jesse and Al, race baiters extraordinaire, never discuss the stark realities faced by Blacks today, namely the collapse of family and the glorificaiton of violence.

"Contrary to stodgy opinions, young men have a right to go out. They want to hang with their peers. They want to talk to women. They want to show off a little of their success. Nothing wrong with any of that – as long as they're careful. Who they're with, what time they're out and what they have is only a small part of the issue. The larger problem here is the one no one is ready to openly discuss."

100% Wrong, Jemele. Where Williams was that night and where he instead should have been are directly the issue at hand.

If Williams had married the mother of his two children and been at home celebrating the New Year as head of his family in Denver -- instead of keeping them at arm's length in Fort Worth -- Williams would be alive today. Period.

The problem is putting the blame where it really belongs doesn't translate into political power, so poor blacks will continue to be exploited by the left to their detriment. It's what they constantly accuse corporate America of doing.

It almost seems they want the situation to continue so they will always have an "issue" to gripe about!

O.J. is an abomination, no matter what color he is, but the attitude we're discussing here was demonstrated as much by his jury as by anything O.J. did. They gave him a pass for butchering two people, for heaven's sake.....and most of them still defend their decision to do so. The conscience decision, by 12 citizens, to excuse a man for such a crime is a complete repudiation of what our country stands for.
