Most of us would note that this is not an issue of "black crime culture" or "white crime culture" but an issue of crime and OUR culture. This who cannot see things through any other lens than race probably find that incredulous.
This oh, so clever bull shit does nothing to address the root problems with youth crime in our culture. The fact that any discussions of such crime are reflexively seen as race-based is more evidence of willful ignorance and the insistence by some on either side of the issues that race must be a part of it.
So, as with my previous post, some refuse to see crime and criminal behavior as the core issue here, preferring to excuse it through a lot of hand-waving and obfuscation. Some, on both sides of these important issues - the issues of our times - see humor and derision at the expense of any one who disagrees with them as the best remedy. Again - it takes little energy to see examples where young white criminals are committing heinous and violent crimes (see my previous post on a USF car-jacking) and some being killed by armed citizens in the commission of them. Hey, Chris, take the blinders off, poke your head up out of the sand long enough to look beyond the limited perspective you seem to wallow in - perhaps talk to someone other then Michael Eric Dyson and MHP.
Thus they laugh and laugh - yuck, yuck, ain't this grand, being smart, liberal, satirists, making up shit as we go along. As the circus comes to town, we become a nation of buffoons and things keep going to hell.
BTW, how's that jocularity working out for y'all there at MSNBC? Beat by CNN?
