Downtown Minneapolis has a crime problem. Over the summer there seems to be a shooting every or every other weekend downtown. Most of those victims are African Americans. Most of the shooters are African Americans. There are far more white people downtown than there are blacks. Hence, chances are there are going to be more white people to victimize than blacks. That having been said, white people are seen as "safer" targets. They tend to target people who are drunk, who are using cell phones, who are walking alone. You have to be street smart to avoid some of this.

He's not usually an emotional or stupid man but this turned him into one pretty quick. He started blaming "liberals" as well, which he knows I am one. He also knows I'm anti-violence so there must have been some dissonance with him. I threw back some conservative stereotypes and told him he wants to see children murdered in their classrooms because he loves his guns. I then mentioned he is pro-rape because a woman should know her place like the good ole days. He seemed to snap out of it and I told him to stop letting himself be manipulated.

So my question to Trump people is: what do you get accused of that you find equally dumb ass?
I don't envy your husband.

Yes. White people need to be street smart and/or avoid these blacks. And to teach them that they are not safe targets. Doing so will make it safer for them.

... if by "street smart" you mean withdrawing support for any politician who talks about overincarceration, and not locking up thugs like that for a very long time.

I would open fire. Watch them scatter like frightened idiots running from a toddler waving a birth certificate.

If this was a bunch of whites roaming around beating people of color the reference would be the KKK.

You have to know WHICH blacks to avoid.....just like other blacks know which blacks to avoid. Me....I am not walking through or going to be hanging out near a bunch of people under the age of 25 hanging out after 11:00 PM on the streets. They are looking for entertainment, profit (pros) and reputation. I am a 55 year old African American and trying to jump me could fulfill all those needs in their eyes....except for the fact that I look and carry myself like I don't take no slit. However, my thing is just to find a different path and not have to test walking through them. That having been said, I avoid groups of drunken white young adults and teenager equally as well.

And victims like this one are largely brainwashed into thinking govt security will keep them safe and that its wrong to carry a weapon in self defense.

Call it naiveté meets LBJ's great grandchildren.
I’d say they are products of PTSD and detachment disorders from growing up in a war torn country.

From the war on poverty
The war on drugs
The war on voluntary relationships (min. wage laws)
