I'm guessing by the smiley-face, you're glad Hispanic gang members are doing scary things to Blacks.

Well, answer this for me. What is in it for Black people? I'm sure alot of Black people would like to live in a place without worrying about being shot to death.

Well, some of the more decent Black neighborhoods here in Pensacola have set up citizen patrolling of their neighborhoods with the blessings of the police department and county sheriff. Why couldn't they do something along a similar fashion? You've got to have the initiative to help yourselves.

Here in California Hispanics have already surpassed whites in terms of getting accepted into the greatest public university system in the world, the University of California. Blacks have had a head start and now Hispanics and Asians are passing them by. It is really sad to see the black community struggle so much but again it all starts in the home and then their communities will prosper.
There are more Blacks with college diplomas than at any other time in this nation's history. Focus on the underclass where the most problems are taking place. Blacks who aspire to go to college are already doing their job. It's mainly the underclass that isn't aspiring to go to college.

You still have not confronted anything I've said. Nothing you've said has anything to do with what I was talking about. I was talking about the way you discussed Blacks being driven out of part so southern California. You brought that up in response to be discussing Hispanic gang members murdering African-Americans. I also mentioned the amount of Black on Black murders.

If it makes you sad to see the Black community struggle, then you wouldn't express glee in Blacks being driven out of parts of southern California via fear of violence.

The murder rates are lower, but for whom? Whom is safe? Certainly not Blacks. Blacks are the ones who have to worry.

That sounds like the best plan yet. Where is the outrage ? OK, I'm outraged. Think they are going to stop
now ?

Then what are you doing about it? What's your plan? Please say you do have one that won't end up costing the taxpayer even more money than he/she are already spending on helping them. We don't need more of those plans.

Not being a Chicago resident, why should I be outraged?

They elect their leaders and manage their lives as they see fit just like everyone else, in every other burg, in the US.

Now, if those types bring their bullsh*t to Sussex County, NJ, then I'll be outraged and expect my leaders to deal with it as me and my neighbors see fit.
