I'm not interested in running for world dictator. I'm retired.
Rob is forgetting the key problem here, which Jeff-Wash brought up here a few days ago; that black people are victims of the ghetto drug and crime epidemic as well as perpetrators. And as you pointed out, the white press doesn't talk much about that aspect of it.
I've watched both of you play the game of subtly implying that the real problem is those ghetto criminals, in order to distract and confuse, obscure and derail the real debate going on in these pages. You're looking for a "demographic imbalance in the statistics" that will get you off the hook. Troublesome and unruly monorities have always been a convenient scapegoat to blame our problems on.
Other countries have ghettoes and high crime districts too, and they have rebellious minorities, racial, religious, economic, too. But they don't have a gun related death toll like we do. That's what we're talking about today, remember?
Focus on what we're talking about here, don't show off at how good you are at changing the subject. Its a cheap trick, we've all heard it before, and its getting old.
