What percentage of that 12% is Black?

Blacks make up approximately 13% of the total population. Is the OP trying to say that only 1% of blacks don't commit crimes?

People throw these percentages out there and never define what they represent.

So,OP, not that it's on topic or anything, but how about it?
How many people does that 12% represent? And what is their demographic breakdown?

Name me one thing Al Sharpton has been spot on about. Gimme a youtube clip, and I'll give you 10 of him being an ass.

Actually nvm. If you honestly think he makes reasonable and valid points, you aren't worth talking to.

If you and the other person you're arguing with already hold opposing political viewpoints, why would you agree on anything that Sharpton says? Sharpton is a liberal. Are you?

If not, you're making a dumb argument.

Again, people retain the right to support Sharpton when he's right on the issues. If he's wrong, i'll say he's wrong.

And he's right far more often than he's wrong. That's for damn sure.

BTW...who the hell are you to judge who's worth "talking to" based on their own ideology? You're some arbiter or truth and light?

True, none the less.

Why do white wealthy lefties constantly TALK about "helping" the minorities, as if they're helpless children?

Black people don't NEED your help.....they need jobs.

Jobs bring opportunity.

However, the race baiters, like sharpton and jackson have fooled the black community into WANTING "immigration reform", which will disproportionately negatively effect the black community.

When they compare "immigration reform" to the civil rights movement, they are being totally disingenuous.

They only want "immigration reform" because it will sure up the dummycrat base and fill their coffers even more.

al sharpton has gotten into your head, hasn't he? "Fairness, equality, freedom!" He wouldn't know any of those terms if they hit him in the head.

He's a wealthy black rabble rouser who never held a real job until affirmative action kicked in at msnbc and they gave him a show.

He lives a very comfortable life behind the walls of a gated WHITE community, while crying racism and inequality to morons.

LOL

Enjoy!

I mind MY business.

I pay MY way through life without demanding that someone else take care of me.

I expect the same from other responsible people.

What's wrong with expecting people to pay their own way?

I have a question. Why do white people feel the need to associate all black people with Al Sharpton? Why is it that white people talk about Sharpton and Jesse Jackson more than the average black person?
