Following your logic train, you've just admitted that a disproportionate number Republicans don't care about the poor.

I'm just getting sick of hearing the word "racist" at this point.

I don't know who this "we" is that you're referring to, but you don't speak for me.

Oh of course not YOU rav, You're special... You had that one black friend in high school which totally makes you not a racist

After Baltimore police and a crowd of teens clashed near the Mondawmin Mall in northwest Baltimore on Monday afternoon, news reports described the violence as a riot triggered by kids who had been itching for a fight all day. But in interviews with Mother Jones and other media outlets, teachers and parents maintain that police actions inflamed a tense-but-stable situation....

When school let out that afternoon, police were in the area equipped with full riot gear. According to eyewitnesses in the Mondawmin neighborhood, the police were stopping busses and forcing riders, including many students who were trying to get home, to disembark. Cops shut down the local subway stop. They also blockaded roads near the Mondawmin Mall and Frederick Douglass High School, which is across the street from the mall, and essentially corralled young people in the area. That is, they did not allow the after-school crowd to disperse....

A parent who picked up his children from a nearby elementary school, says via Twitter, "The kids stood across from the police and looked like they were asking them 'why can't we get on the buses' but the police were just gazing…Majority of those kids aren't from around that neighborhood. They NEED those buses and trains in order to get home." He continued: "If they would've let them children go home, yesterday wouldn't have even turned out like that."....

Meg Gibson, another Baltimore teacher, described a similar scene to Gawker: "The riot police were already at the bus stop on the other side of the mall, turning buses that transport the students away, not allowing students to board. They were waiting for the kids…Those kids were set up, they were treated like criminals before the first brick was thrown." With police unloading busses, and with the nearby metro station shut down, there were few ways for students to clear out.

Several eyewitnesses in the area that afternoon say that police seemed to arrive at Mondawmin anticipating mobs and violence—prior to any looting. At 3:01 p.m., the Baltimore Police Department posted on its Facebook page: "There is a group of juveniles in the area of Mondawmin Mall. Expect traffic delays in the area." But many of the kids, according to eyewitnesses, were stuck there because of police actions.....

"We" in Nik's case is those of us who are evil masterminds bent on taking over the world with our weather machines (that Nik keeps breaking) and shark lasers (which keep cutting each other).

Although, I will have to say that our mind control devices have worked. Primetime TV has never been better!

More like a dozen.

But who am I kidding, anything you say, no matter how stupid or untrue, always leads to your fanboys

More like a dozen.

I thought about having a black friend but seeing how the neighborhood I live in is 99.9% white the odds aren't good !

Guess who's coming to dinner.

Always need to count up those black friends. Sounds like someone is jealous this morning lol...

/makes the whoopty *** woo sign with his finger We, the diabolically evil conservatives could make an argument that our policies aren't inherently racist because they inflict harm on everyone equally who are poor and/or nonconformist and/or not particularly gifted in sports and the sciences. But I'm telling you it's going to be a tough sell inside the inner city looking out.

Looks like the fanboys are already playing defense.

Actually it's not. It's people like yourself who feel like you're being victimized when people post facts. That you can't just 'make it' when so many fundamental thoughts about people effect the avenues they need to succeed. Pointing out one or two winners is effectively going full Hunger Games with regards to the ghetto.

Worse than the overt KKK morons are people who simply passively empower a racist agenda and are too afraid to look at the facts. Be it that home loan denial or being thrown into a failing school because thats what your neighborhood offers.

Failed. Before you even learned to stop pooping your pants.

Well at least someone has admitted that there are problems now... It's been a long hard battle but we finally got there guys! Oh yeah wait everything is those filthy liberals fault!

Sounds like you're the only one getting defensive here...

Not all liberals are filthy that is a stereotype !

He basically called me a racist for absolutely no reason and he barely even knows me, so yeah, I'm a bit defensive. Go back to your hole, Nik can handle himself.

Where the frick are all these inner city problems coming from? Conservative states? We're going to blame all the problems in Detroit, Baltimore, LA, etc. on conservative policies when so many of them have been run both at the local and state level by Democrats for decades? Come on, you can't be that dense.

I find it even funnier that you even let something like that bother you... tends to make me think there might be some truth to something there now... How am I defending Nik again? Just seems like you're trying to fight back the tears now lol...

You are instigating a fight that you were not a part of. Which you do so well (it's generally called trolling, but you are given so many passes at trolling people it's not funny anymore). You injected yourself in a conversation for the sole purpose to create animosity towards yourself and Ravael.

You should get over yourself, seriously.

I'm glad you brought this point up. Detroit is a perfect example.

Who built detroit?

You thought there was truth to that already because stereotyping is too easy for the stupid to resist.
