That is one enlightened human being. What an excellent message he has.

I agree with Penny MG - that man knows exactly what he's saying and couldn't be more right. And those Nancy Grace commentators - what a pure outright disgrace to journalism - and the tv station they were.

Nancy Grace, say no more ..... ya know what Doc, and I don't know if she's married ..... but if Nancy's husband strangled her to death there ain't a jury in this world that would convict him .....

Nancy is showing her animosity more than ever before.

The guy in the video is right, but his voice won't be heard very far. It'll be silenced by the media loudmouths.

Speaking of the media loudmouths, of all races ... The more they go on about this Zimmerman case, the worse they get. What little bit of credibility they may have ever had is being diluted day after day. Their voices are getting more shrill, and their reasoning is getting more irrational.

They won't be happy until Zimmerman is killed, or commits suicide. People have been prosecuted for provoking such acts, but none of these loudmouths will be.

A black person can be killed for looking at someone, talking to the wrong girl, wearing the wrong color or any number of equally stupid reasons. And it is perfectly fine, as long as the trigger was pulled by another black person.
But if death is had the hands of a non-black, then the righteous indignation comes. Protests, riots.

I agree with everything said in the video, and am glad it came from someone more obviously black then I am.

I'd share this on facebook, but I'd be instantly disowned by my family.

I'm speechless.
Great rational and open mind, sick and
tired of what parts of America have become
and how no one is learning from
their history and thinking everyone
owes them something and someone
else is always to blame.

Thus- the problem and exactly why it will continue!

My question is why whites are not outraged at white people killing white people. You do know that that the vast majority of white murders of white people are carried out by white people!

Murder is a crime of location and proximity not race.

BTW I would suggest most think blacks think as this young man. That includes Jackson and Rev Al they have spoken of this often.

Overview
Of the 12,664 murder victims in 2011 for which supplemental data were received, most (77.6 percent) were male. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 1.)

Concerning murder victims for whom race was known, 50.0 percent were black, 46.0 percent were white, and 2.6 percent were of other races. Race was unknown for 175 victims. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 2.)

Single victim/single offender situations accounted for 48.4 percent of all murders for which the UCR Program received supplemental data. (See Expanded Homicide Data Table 4.)

Of the offenders for whom gender was known, 89.3 percent were males. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 3.)
Of the offenders for whom race was known, 52.4 percent were black, 45.2 percent were white, and 2.4 percent were of other races. The race was unknown for 4,077 offenders. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 3.)

Of the homicides for which the FBI received weapons data, most (67.8 percent) involved the use of firearms. Handguns comprised 72.5 percent of the firearms used in murder and nonnegligent manslaughter incidents in 2011. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 8.)

In 2011, in incidents of murder for which the relationships of murder victims and offenders were known, 54.3 percent were killed by someone they knew (acquaintance, neighbor, friend, boyfriend, etc.); 24.8 percent of victims were slain by family members. The relationship of murder victims and offenders was unknown in 44.1 percent of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter incidents in 2011. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 10.)

Of the female murder victims for whom the relationships to their offenders were known, 36.5 percent were murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Tables 2 and 10.)

Of the murders for which the circumstance surrounding the murder was known,
42.9 percent of victims were murdered during arguments (including romantic triangles) in 2011. Felony circumstances (rape, robbery, burglary, etc.) accounted for 23.1 percent of murders. Circumstances were unknown for 38.0 percent of reported homicides. (Based on Expanded Homicide Data Table 11.)

Law enforcement reported 653 justifiable homicides in 2011. Of those, law enforcement officers justifiably killed 393 felons, and private citizens justifiably killed 260 people during the commission of a crime. (See Expanded Homicide Data Tables 14 and 15.)

Go beyond the bumper sticker see:

I think that you meant to say:

"You do know that that the vast majority of murders of white people are carried out by white people!"

Just a thought..
