Five shot at Chicago school basketball game - Telegraph

Terrible news. I guess they are African-Americans.

It is terrible news. Way to make a pointless remark that turns this into a troll thread.

I don't think it's pointless, unless you're politically correct.

Thanks, but I suggest you refrain from personal attacks.

I don't consider myself politically incorrect, but why do you feel the need to bring up the subject of race? What is the difference between an African-American gettting murdered and White person getting murdered? Unless you are talking about hate crimes, this remains so: The 5 murders are the signs of a general violent crime problem. Yes, statistically, African-Americans have a higher proportion of murders than other ethnic groups. With that said, does this mean you think African-Americans should be treated like animals and "controlled"? Well, why not just arrest the murders and put them behind bars for life and leave everyone else alone and leave race out of this.

I would just say "black" if you wanted to interject race.
"African-American" is offensive to real Americans

I use both, but mostly black. I don't use the exact same language on a message board as I do with friends. Who cares what is offensive.
