[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1089771, member: 22662"] It is a racist COMMENT because it extracts race as the determining factor in gun violence while ignoring greater factors that cross all racial lines. If I were to tell you that 52% of violent crimes were commited by blacks (I made the number up) and that 59% were commited by people in the lowest 10% of income levels and your main focus was on the 52%, what would that say? But then again, I am not concerned about the numbers anyway. I'm for universal national service of some kind REGARDLESS OF RACE OR INCOME LEVEL. If you thought FDR's WPA was expensive.... I must commend many of you though. I find it hard to believe that these percentages and facts would be so widely known if it weren't for the current debate. Now get all the numbers in full context and we can have a real sociology lesson. [/QUOTE]
