thats what you call distorting statistics.

the truth is there is little violent crime.

what the race posters try and do is convince you that there is an epidemic because a minority may have committed the most number of crimes in that category, even though that category is tiny.
No one has said that most blacks commit crime. That is a fallacy.

Most inner cities are subject to crime EVERY DAY. Do you really think every crime is reported to the cops? Reporting the crime may lead to retaliation or the victim may have a record him or herself, so not every crime is reported.

How come its o.k. to quote government crime stats but government stats noting the last place finish of black kids in science and math from coast to coast is ignored.

You can choose your opinions but you can't choose your facts.

i also find it funny that the same conservatives who blast affirmative action will vote for herman cain who is in favor of affirmative action.

Wow. Are you doing research on this? Can you share your stats with us?

Where did you lean that little bit of news? Did you do some research?

Spanking is off-topic. That's probably why no one has replied yet.

Oh, a leftie just replied to your post.

I just jumped to the end and read the last couple of posts and can see this isn't about anything at all.

To be honest, I didn't understand exactly what you were asking apart from linking to a completely unrelated thread about spanking which linked to another completely unrelated topic about effective discipline. How does that have anything to do with Ebonics?

That said, I'd appreciate if you didn't make generalizations about all left-wing people like that. I know a lot of posters do it with right-winged people as well, but I make an effort not to paint conservatives with a wide brush and would appreciate if you did the same by treating me as an individual and not just "another leftie".
