You read it as demonizing blacks (in general), I took it as in indictment of what I'll call the "grievance industry." There are a lot of people of good will helping people in need. Al $harpton ain't one of them. And neither is Nancy "taco bell" Grace. A couple of other thoughts.... 1> Did you really think a blog called "Soopermexican" was being quoted seriously? 2> According the the DOJ (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf - page 5, bottom left graph) about 90% of the homicide victims in the US last year were black. There also according to the DOJ there were 11,101 homicides last year (same PDF, bottom of page 2). So the 11K number in 1.5 years is probably pretty darn close. I think the DOJ is probably unalterably corrupt at this point, but their stats are probably pretty accurate. -XC
