I fully agree with you. The liberal argument is that blacks were placed in slavery for hundreds of years, given no opportunities for education, business ownership, land ownership and accumulation of wealth. Even after freedom, blacks were "supposedly" discriminated against and still not given educational opportunities, were discriminated against in the employment sector, in the housing sector, and weren't given GI bill money for college when black troops came back from WWII. Well guess what liberals, in the 60s blacks were finally granted all the same equal rights as whites! The liberals now say that it has only been 50 years since those rights have been in place, and black society needs time to catch up since it takes time to change a community that has been based on low paying labor jobs and no education, into a community of educated professionals. They claim blacks have been catching up very fast since the 60s, but need more time for the whole community to be revamped, just like the Irish and Italian immigrants did who started off in poor, crime ridden communities as well (only they were given GI bill money after WWII and were able to get educations and good jobs). Can you believe they say such garbage? I'm with you, its easy for a kid to break out of a family generational cycle of poverty that goes back hundreds of years, and simply choose to go college. Liberals say the public schools they have to attend in these poor areas don't really set them up for that, I say school is what you make of it! Nonsense. These blacks choose this lifestyle of poverty and crime, it's a choice, just like homosexuality.
Certainly points out medias warped sense of whats newsworthy.
Plane crashes 2 dead? run with it 24/7 with co running coverage of the Zimmerman trial.
67 people shot dead in Chicago in a few days and it doesnt even make the news
Or a train crash in Quebec that wipes out half a town 40+ people missing and barely makes it off the occasional news banner at the bottom of the news cast.
Or 19 firefighters die fighting forest fires? the media wrapped that up in a few days ,but let 2 chumps blow up a couple IED's at a Boston marathon and its 24/7 coverage for weeks.

What the.....did you even read it?? 11 out of those 67 people shot were killed. You claimed that 67 people were shot dead in one weekend. You are wrong. Plain & simple.
It won't solve America's gang problem, but mandatory solitary confinement for gang members who commit felonies is in order. They wouldn't be allowed any social interaction except one visit a week from family, and a weekly/biweekly session with a clergyman or counselor. Let's make it so prison isn't just an extension of gangs' power apparatuses.
Or, a recruitment exercise. Most of those being shot are or have been affiliated with gangs and have served time in prison.
