I think some people get caught up in the debating that they don't realize what they're saying doesn't make sense.

And again, I say to you what I said to Rudey:
When has anyone on here said that we want politicians to address the "problems" being discussed in this thread? I don't expect politicians to take the crack pipe out of someones hand, make someone speak "proper" English or take better care of their children. What I do expect politicians to do is ensure that there is equal opportunity to education, housing, employment, etc... The only reason those tend to be "black problems" is because those basic rights are often not afforded to us. What other "black problems" does the black community ask politicians to address?
As far as Bill making his comments in front of a white audience, that's really not an issue for me. I guess I'm just wondering what the point is? To let us all know there is a bad element among us? Check... I think we all get that. So now what?
And I reiterate:
I just don't get how some of you on here sit around agreeing with the masses, posting slanted statistics, saying, "yeah, my race is in an awful state, isn't it?" Well, where does that place you? And better yet, what are YOU doing about it?
