Lori Lightfoot, perhaps? She's black, female, and an LGBT candidate up for re-election, so she checks all the banana Republican hate boxes.

Wellllll.... If the shoe fits..........



There is no shortage of young white males that are criminal idiots that use guns to intimidate, hurt and kill people but it does seem like, at least according to the news, that young Black males are more likely to get enraged enough to take their often illegally owned, often stolen gun and shoot it into a crowd not knowing and not caring who they kill.

How many times have we seen this scene acted out where some rival gang member or some thug has a beef with another and there is a shootout in the street, in front of the club or in some other public place?



We have seen this play out time and again with the most recent being that idiot in West Virginia that was told to slow down because he was speeding through the neighborhood. He returned with a rifle to teach those people are lesson, HOW Dare they Tell him to slow down! and instead of murdering innocent people a woman with a licensed handgun ended him.



I don't know what else we are to think given the rise of criminal activity in the inner cities that have seen Black on Black murders, Asian women getting beat up, white people being sucker punched, mass looting, organized shoplifting, dozens of smash and grab robberies, victims being pushed onto subway tracks, and another recent one where a young white woman at a phone store was brutally beaten by a black loser just because he was angry. That should be a Hate Crime because he targeted her but it wasn't called that?

The sad thing is that all of those crimes are being perpetrated by young Black men. I do not think that is anywhere near Racist for pointing out a fact?

I guess the OP was trying to suggest Trump and the politicians he supports are Racist? Stating facts is not racist.

Neither is Houston but I can guarantee both Chicago and Houston have much higher murder rates than those cities listed, and have the same issues with democrats not wanting to prosecute criminals and letting violent felons out of jail on No or low bail so they kill again.

Hmmm...So What are the Facts...I'd be interested in seeing the Data!





A not very politically correct, stereotyping blanket statement?

Yes.

100% absolutely wrong?

... not so much.

-Baltimore
-Philadelphia
-Detroit
-St. Louis
-New Orleans

-Jackson, MS

Analysis: Jackson’s rate of killings per capita ranks highest in the U.S.

Actually, kudos to this guy for calling it like it is. You can’t fix a problem if you can’t even first acknowledge it.

The facts are that we (black folk) kill ourselves way more than anyone else. It is what it is.

Is it OK the blame white people for pedophilia, for world wars, for inflation, for the WEF in general... ??

Can I blame the China CCP for COVID?

There seems to be plenty of blame for the world's ills on many races of people if you think about it long enough.

The challenge is the problem is not because of skin color. The number one issue is the breakdown of the family. Anywhere that happens regardless of skin color or socio economics, trouble follows. Traditional family and personal responsibility are enigmas to the democrats and hard left. You even begin to talk about those things and the left labels you a phobe or ism of some sort. Sorry, but a society cannot be healthy without healthy families made up of a mother and father committed to each other and their kids. It’s that simple.
