You are spot on about the lose of jobs to Illegals. Our current President has not only looked the other way but actually promoted them coming to the US.
As a Black man you'd think he'd try to limit this immigration so that Black Americans would at least have the opportunity. Generous benefits don't help when one can stay home and make more money not working than they can actually holding a job.
There are tons of jobs out there. The construction industry is booming. It's been years since I've seen a Black Man working in the Home construction business.
He only cares about moving to a one party system. Most illegals who become citizens will vote democrat if they vote at all. This will require more social spending with its dependance on government. Lucky all these animals rioting don't vote, or the US would even be in worse shape.
All I know is that we've apparently gone backwards over the past few years when it comes to race relations. Sad.
I don't think that's the case. I think race relations have actually improved quite a bit. However, that isn't a commentary on "how good" things are now, but more of a commentary on how bad things used to be.
The "problem" today is that all the cases of police misconduct, abuse & outright murder are being exposed for what they are in the age of ubiquitous cell phone camera coverage.
You think all of this is new? You think that blacks are only recently bein abused & killed by police? This has been happening all their lives. Technology and the media are only now giving it the attention that it should have been given so long ago & only now have finally exposed it to the world. Oh, we've gotten bits & pieces through the years...but now it feels like a veritable flood of evidence has been unleashed.

People who are in the country illegally cannot vote, genius.

Spot on. It's funny when people act like this is a new phenomenon. Forgetting that Facebook, Twitter, other social media, and ubiquitous smartphone ownership were not present in previous presidential administrations. You're all just seeing what has been going on for decades. Finally someone who has some sense.
From what I read I gather that he was a drug dealer. He still should have received prompt medical attention.
I agree, his criminal history does not excuse what happen to him. Chase him, restrain him safely then lock him up, this is a reasonable response to his actions not a critical injury that resulted in his death. It should be Police training 101.
I do not condone the violence commited by some in the rioting but to say Freddie Gray got what he deserved is unfair.

Where exactly has race relations gotten better? I see the exact opposite everywhere I go.

That is not the problem in all cases. People are calling any police action bad now even when a thug had a gun and fired it. You have protesters that show up to any police shooting involving someone black regardless of the circumstance like in St Louis yesterday.

Cops don't engage people for no reason. If a cop can't shoot someone for running away from him, he should just stay out of troubled areas and sit in his car to take early retirement because his back hurts from sitting so much.

Why do you believe a policeman should shoot someone for running away from him? Does he deserve to die for doing just this?
