I wouldn't mind living on an MLK Avenue. Hell, I've got a thing for big street names.

forget the content of character, most blacks and hispanics enjoy crime. i am hispanic and i see it first hand. put a bunch of hispanics and blacks in a community and crime rate increases. that is just the way it is. we tend to behave like animals when we are all together.

you know theres 37 million blacks right? quit dramatizing and pretending like this is some nationwide problem.

I don't think this has anything to do with race as it does with the fact black men have been disenfranchised from their families for 2+ generations. This is what happens when children do not have a strong male figure growing up.

Clearly, this is the fault of the NRA. Just look at those gun-nuts shooting up New Orleans.

No one wants to have an honest discussion about the bulk of gun violence and how to address it.

They just want nice safe political targets and boogeymen like the NRA.

Not that the NRA is perfect, it sure isn't....but it's sad to see a real opportunity to address gun violence being derailed for nothing more than political grandstanding.

Its not odd, Jesse and Al know if they rally the black community to be more accountable to their families, it would eliminate their jobs. See, their job of victimizing the black community is profitable. Showing up when Trayvon Martin is shot by a non-black gets you media attention, not when Tyrone shoots Maurice. Al and the other race pimps were saddened when they figured out the shooter was Hispanic.

^ That. 80% of all gun deaths in Chicago were gang violence related. It wasnt Tom the white Man from Utah who decided to go to Chi-town and shoot up some blacks....

The White Man doesn't have to work to make the Black community irrelevant, it is being handled within....

Criminality doesn't take a day off.
MLK would be ashamed of the Blacks today. In fact, he'd probably be on Fox News right now detesting such despicable acts.
