Many of us could relate actual gross situations connected with gangs. Many, not all are black youth who grew up in single family homes with no male guidance. The fault lies with the Social-Democrats and their failed "war on poverty" beginning around 1965. Forty-two years later, things are not much better. The failure is with moral bankrupcy, not more money that is used to buy drugs and other frivolous items. White is a shade. Many of us could relate actual gross situations connected with gangs.

Even one of the city's most prominent black Dems has come to his support. The state NAACP head did his news conference WITH the state's Dem House minority caucus leader. It was there one attempt to take the mayor down and be Dem heros. It has backfired. Now if Bill Cosby will come on down and reiterate it. Congratulations on your re-election Mayor!

At some point the black community is going to have to address the problems in their community and take appropriate actions to correct them instead of looking for sympathy and living off of victimhood. It's called growing up. If you have an issue, you own up to it and fix it. You don't blame someone else for your shortfalls. That's toddler mentality. It just kills me how, in this case, they were more outraged by the mayor's comments than they were with the behaviour of the members of their community. Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees. The race card only has value if people let it have value.
