Hey, I’m all for good humor and happy to poke fun at lilly white self. But, anything that takes attention away from the tragic problem of black and black violence really isn’t all that funny. It’s also tragic that our first black president refuses to step up to the fact that blacks commit crime dramatically out of proportion to their representation in the population and that, sadly, so much of that violent crime is committed against other blacks. Until, we come to grips with that, no gun laws, nor corny MSNBC humor, in the world will make a nick in our violent crime problems in this country.
It is good that you are willing to let statistics guide public policy. Here is another: blacks and Hispanics have a significantly higher poverty rate than whites. Waiting for Fox news to address that.
