Racism countered with racism?
Black people love Walmart. Oh, wait.
Yeah, I thought the whole black/white delegation thing was trading people for other people.

It was a draft. Although, the black and white delegations did make a trade during it. I think OJ for Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice?
The more I think about this the more I wonder if the second comment is racist. Is it racist to point out historical precedence?
Was it racist to point out that 13% of the population is responsible for 60% of the murders? Seems like that is something that should be discussed so it can get resolved...

It's weird to me that it doesn't get talked about more without getting shutdown as racism. People aren't saying "all black people are murderers" or anything of the sort.
I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.

Exactly. There's a cultural problem beyond poverty (the most common excuse) that needs to get addressed. More white people are in poverty than black people, yet the violent crime isn't as prevalent. So what the hell is going on? Country music also doesn't send a message of slinging rock, being in gangs, money being everything, disrespecting women, carrying guns, and resorting to violence the send you feel disrespected. (I don't think it does...? I don't listen to that shit.)
Again, there's a real cultural issue, which is something a lot of black leaders have been saying as well. Saying "black people are more prone to violence" is racist. Saying "black American culture glorifies violence" isn't racist because there's more than enough evidence proving it.
