it just upsets me when we’re so deferential.

Rest assured, asshat, when it comes to you, I'm not deferential at all.

Well, I never hear Cornell West talking about the culture of crime and death in the GET-TOE. If anything, he sweeps it under the rug.

And if we demand more of law enforcement in certain communities this disgusting gutter trash would damn us for that too. Look no farther than your household mirror to see the real racist culprit here West.

I care a great deal about the death and destruction in areas you address here, you expletive deleted.

Those communities would be much better off if you and your ilk, fellow travelers were to have a fatal coronary this very night.

Not a peep, not a mumbling word when black folk get shot,” West added.

The fool wasn't listening to the thunderous roar of complaints about Trayvon getting shot? (Even though the punk deserved it.)

That might be because this was a mad man, killing out of the blue, not a career criminal who anyone could see was going to kill someone. Apples and oranges, professor.

These vicious racists would be permanently unemployed if they were lacking a little more melanin.

Actually, they probably are a little more precious in one area than the other if we measure by potential contribution to society. I’m sure you could use some sort of historical data and extrapolate into the likely future. I’m no college professor, though.

I wonder if Allen West was trying to bring the whole “Gun free Chicago” thing into the conversation....

So why isn’t he speaking out about his BROTHERS killing each other and innocent children in the hood. We can’t waist sympathy on some vanilla children (I never did see a racial breakdown of the victims, like it matters), but we certainly can’t have a dialogue on the black on black crime because that would call attention to it. Unlike this educated, racist, MORON, I don’t have to know the color of a child to grieve for it’s loss. Please tell me again how only WHITE people can be racist.

Dumb ass.

There is a difference. A big one. In the case of all those dead individuals (who happen to be black) the trigger is being pulled by...a person who rhymes with “trigger.”

We can’t go around illuminating black-on-black murder. It’s just not polite.

There's a difference between someone who kills because they're insane (and possibly born that way), and someone who kills because they're just plain mean because they were raised that way.

Is Mr. West ready to have that conversation, or does he just want to talk about the guns?

Were you horrified at Jonestown? They were all black too.

I would have, if I cried at all, which I didnt. Sad? Yes. Manipulated into crying by the media? No

it’s a good thing that we now have a discussion on gun control

So we can once again show why it hasn't, won't and never will work. Criminals are exactly that because they don't comply with society's values and laws. Passing more laws will not stop or deter criminals.

I once remember hearing a speech about content of character. I must have been dreaming.

The people in Jonestown went willingly. These children went to school one day and didn’t come home. I don’t remember crying over the Atlanta child murders, although I felt saddened by them.
