That is the kind of statement that will be repeated outside the context of the discussion as an example to prove that FR is a racist forum. Though it does apply to a percentage (probably a substantial percentage) of the black population, tarring all with the same brush is no more right than "Reverends" Jackson/Sharpton/Farrakhan/Wright potraying us whites as the devil incarnate.
Regrettably, the black community has not been taught the old saying "if the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it".

I am reminded that Noah Webster in 1833 noticed: There are two powers only, sufficient to control men and secure the rights of individuals and a peaceable administration; these are the combined force of religion and law and the force or fear of the bayonet.
In 1849 Robert Charles Winthrop in a speech before the Mass. Bible Society expounded on what Mr. Webster had taught-
Men in a word must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them, or a power without them; Either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet.
As a people we were once understood to be both Moral and Religious. And George Washington and many other recognized the fundamental principles of Religion, Morality and Knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind. (Twice codified in the Northwest Ordinance)
What we have seen in the these reports from the Presidents own City of Chicago (where his political aspirations were honed) is evidence of what we as a people chosewhen we decided to accept a secular nation and rejected the religion and morality President John Adams said our Constitution was made only for. When righteousness rules the nation is happy.

This really struck home with me. With the loss of GOD in the hearts of Americans, we have become no more than animals, only fit to be controlled like the animals we have become. This is what the left knew and why they have pushed so hard to remove God from America. What's left is only fit to enslave and control (to their benefit). We had been warned, and didn't heed, so now we face the fruits of our indifference and inaction...
I said as a general group. There are exceptions of course. But generally speaking common sense and crime statistics validate a containment course of action because they are self-destructing as a race. If they would actually try to change things instead of blaming everyone else for their self-inflicted problems I would suggest a different alternative.
