But the Daily News quickly found itself the subject of boycotts and protests because all of the fugitives whose pictures were published were black or Hispanic. But the Daily News did NOT racially filter the photos: There simply were no white murder fugitives wanted in Philadelphia at that time. In the end, the newspaper knuckled under and apologized for publishing the truth.

And the MSM wonders why people are no longer subscribing to their papers. This politically correct BS has got to stop.

I have well-educated, yet stupid, colleagues who are so quick to point out that blacks account for only 13% of the population yet are 40% of the prison population. They try to use that statistic as evidence of racism. I've tried to point out that the statistics could simply reflect the fact that either 1) blacks engage in illegal activity at a rate that is three times more than non-blacks, or 2) they commit crimes in such a way that makes them easier to catch. My alternative hypotheses are equally as likely as theirs, but they want no part of it because it doesn't square with their predisposed belief system. My conclusion: Liberals hate facts.

I totally agree with you and the fact that our society is now a captive of racially PC politics, moral equivalence, and moral relativism is what’s destroying us as a nation and culture. “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it.” - Santayana

“1) blacks engage in illegal activity at a rate that is three times more than non-blacks, or 2) they commit crimes in such a way that makes them easier to catch.”

It all goes back to the family.
The family is the building block of society.

Those that suffer the most from the dissolution of the family unit are those in the black community.
You will see a similar rate of crime increase among whites from broken families.

Also - the highest rate of abortion is among blacks.

And what kind of policies have encouraged the dissolution of the family? democrat policies.

What kind of politicians make abortion sound like an easy alternative to parenthood? democrats.

Who do the black consistently vote for year in/year out?

The same folks who helped them get into this bleak situation.
