When there is a significant correlation between race and culture, the politically correct reaction is to completely ignore glaring truths and seek solutions in other arenas.
There is a glaring truth that we overlook in these statistical facts: "Among whites, 77 percent of gun deaths are suicides. But among black Americans, 82 percent of gun deaths are homicides."
Another truth? That the majority of those homicides of black Americans are committed by other black Americans.
Will we openly examine the nature of the "black culture" and how it might affect these numbers? Absolutely not, at least not if the PC police have any say... and the problem doesn't get solved.
Who's the racist? He who asks, or he who demand we don't ask? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
