#2 The problem I have with all this is that I can sympathize to a degree with the black community.

That degree is the one which really dynamited the rule of law. The cronies and crooked pols and corporatists and fat-cats and mob that turned the legal system into their own private thug patrol, and, yes, that does go back a long, long way.

The problem just kept getting worse as the "laws" kept getting more and more encompassing giving the thug patrol more and more scope for their operations as decreed by their masters.

Really, selling "loosies", gets you in trouble?

It's not really a racial issue at all nor a class one except for the fact that $#it flows downhill so that those on the lower rungs get the most especially when they live in close proximity (aka cities) to the center of control.

#3 Not quite sympathetic. They sold their souls for a price. Free stuff! They buy into lies that are demonstratively false. They reject the concepts of free will and its inherit responsibility. It's always the 'other' who is to blame cause its so easy rather than self control and reform. It's a cul-de-sac of history.

#4 P2k, they didn't sell their souls knowingly. They were co-opted by slick sales and malice aforethought. Yes, they were sold a bill of goods by the "elites" (which includes the Sharptons of the world) and were not capable of understanding the consequences of the fine print.

Should they have known better? Probably, but that raises a whole slew of other issues.

I'm old enough to remember LBJ and all that "stuff" and saw what it developed into and it started long before that.

#5 No, they knew the bargain they were making. But free stuff and revenge are more valuable to some people than self-respect.

#6 Following the example of their fellow criminals at the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, perhaps it's time for the Bloods to become a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. They could hire former IRS official Lois Lerner, who shares their worldview, as an advisor.

Ouch! That would hurt if anyone had a conscience.
