Even though I'm not wealthy, I thank God every day that I was born a white male in America!

When the black community comes around and starts acting responsibly, some day things will change.

Things will never change until people with your mindset bite the bullet.

The black community does act responsibly. Less than 1% of blacks will commit a violent crime in a given year.

On the other hand, there have been a few different studies that show Daily Show/Colbert viewers are some of the best informed, when compared to people who get their news from other sources.

While much of his Satire uses factual content, it is not a "news" show. I don't know anyone who has ever thought such.

Your insult is noted.

Actually, your statement is incorrect. Tim Wise states less than 1% of AA will commit a violent crime against a white person. They are committing violent crimes at a much higher rate. Stop reading only what you want to see and turn on your local news.

I stand corrected.

Most violent crime is black on black, taking place in those neighborhoods that no one in America seems to give a **** about.

It is. The question is how to stop it? Throwing money at the problem does not seem to help.

That's because, if we want to circle this back to privilege, throwing money at a problem does nothing to change the systemic issues in our institutions.
