Again, not a conservative. Keep grasping. You might catch a hold of something. I don't have anything against blacks as a race. You can try to paint me as a racist for not being PC. That is your choice.My area has a huge meth problem. There is also a huge problem with rural whites. There is no denying that. I can't possibly step into the role of a black kid. That is impossible. But what isn't impossible is for you to be a cop. Try to join the academy.I would be happy to join in on any white crime conversation on this site too if it were valid and not a knee jerk response by Dennis Reynolds in response to comments he deems racist. Bring it!Millions of kids who come from broken homes don't turn into thugs. It isn't inherent in them for that to happen. It is a series of choices they make. Just because they may have had some hardships doesn't excuse the thuggery. It is called free will. Because people keep making excuses for it, it continues. You can't discuss it because you are a racist if you do. You can go have a good afternoon feeling all good about yourself because you told off someone you feel is a racist. Little victory for you, no? That is what it is all about for you, isn't it?

What I despise is all the ignorant attitudes about the problems a number of black people create and perpetuate because the PC squad squashes any discussion about these problems because they are deemed racist. I am sick of it. I am also sick of idiots like you who demonize cops and who put their lives on the line every day to try to keep dangerous people off the streets. You think cops have an attitude? Maybe they should. You think a big softie lime yourself would last a.week patrolling east saint Louis with a violent property crime rate of like 142 per thousand people? How stressed would you be? How about pulling over a random car with blacked out windows on the interstate at 3am. You think every stop isn't stressful? So what about people who do this for years? And for crap money!If you think cops are going to act like normal people in all situations, you are truly an idiot.
1) You certainly have something "against blacks as a race." don't be in denial. Just because you don't mind the occasional black person that trashes other black people, doesn't make you a non-racist. Don't be in denial here. You, and many other conservatives on this site and elsewhere seem to LIVE for pointing out the bad actions of black people. It seems like this is your goal in life: make sure people hear about some criminal action by a black person. Black people commit more violent crimes per capita than whites? REALLY?? Wow, no $hit sherlock. People already know this. A lot of it has to do with poverty and a history of being treated as animals or second class citizens.
You really don't think whites commit lots of awful crimes? C'mon man, there are literally 1000's of shocking, violent crimes committed by whites each and every year. But just because, per capita, there are more by blacks you conservatives feel the need to attack them and spit on them as a group as often as you possibly can? Ridiculous.
Do you know how bad the drug/heroin problem is in some NE states like Maine and Vermont? Horrendous. Families and communities torn apart by the drug epidemic, with lots of crime as part of it. Babies being born hooked on drugs left and right. What % of the population of these states is white? Something like 98%. Do you ever watch Dateline? Do you know how many times the case is about some A-hole, evil white dude who murders his wife and tries to cover it up, all because he wanted her out of the picture so he could get her life insurance and then hook up with his mistress?? And he has YOUNG KIDS. So he gets busted and leaves them orphans. Like every other episode this is the story. But I don't see you conservatives reading these stories and saying? WTF IS WRONG WITH WHITE PEOPLE??? Nope. In those cases you say: isolated incident. Please.
2) I never denied that blacks in general have lots of problems in this country. Many are violent sociopaths. There are many reasons (not excuses) for this. A lot of this has to do with the poverty cycle that many are trapped in, and their "culture" that celebrates and perpetuates this violence. But you asked me to step in the shoes of a stressed out cop on the beat in E. St Louis and see how I would act. Sure, it would be really rough. But why don't *YOU* step into the shoes of some black kid whose Mom was drinking while pregnant (thus developmental problems), was "raised" without a Dad (in jail), whose Mom developed a crack problem, who bounced around "homes" in an inner city slum with drugs and violence everywhere, who was beaten as a kid, who was never nurtured, and whose "role models" were drug dealers or gang members. How would YOU react under THOSE circumstances?? You might become a THUG too.
So you can make excuses for trigger happy cops (and some are valid), and I can make excuses for many kids turning out poorly in the inner cities. But you don't want any excuses for the black crime/violence problem in this country. And you don't want to acknowledge the 1000's of awful crimes committed by white people. No, you just want to find bad actions by blacks and say: SEE, WHAT A BUNCH OF ANIMALS/THUGS. BLACKS ARE A MENACE IN THIS COUNTRY!
That is what many conservatives like you regularly do on this site, and many of you circle-jerk to mentions of black crimes on all the right wing blogs/talk radio shows. It's pathetic actually.
I'm done.
