Facts are stubborn things.
The fact is that young black men commit a disproportionate amount of serious crimes in this country.
We could debate all the reasons for this. Heck, entire books have been written about this problem. But, it’s fact that there is a critical mass of criminal element in the black community.
The liberal view is that we’re not supposed to talk about all of the black on black crime, gang violence, drugs, etc.
A rare case of a non-black shooting of a black youth in the Travyon Martin case is being extrapolated to show that we are a racist bigoted society, and that the biggest danger to black youth is a racist with a gun. But the stubborn facts are that the biggest danger to young black men are other black men with guns, not racists with guns.
"It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. The warriors should be out there helping the masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to 'em, and ... THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!"
"I asked one, 'Why did you kill everybody in the house?' He says, 'They was home.' I met one dude, kidnap-murdered four times. And I thought, three times, that was your last, right? I says, 'What happened?' 'I can't get this s--t right! But I’m getting paroled in two years.'"
-Richard Pryor

You're right on this, Dilbert - conservatives need to keep telling the truth. The MSM, liberal elites and Hollywood are all lying about black violence and crime.
Someone had to tell the truth.
