(And my the way, I’m from Minneapolis; I used to live in the Congressional district now filled by the only Muslim, Keith Ellison – my old university roomie, turned prof, still lives there.)

Roughly:
Blacks only make up about 12-14% of the US population.
But children and elderly are half of that. So blacks that are sexually active make up 6% of US population. Split that in two for males and females and you get 3%.

Digging further in the CDC site, blacks account for 70% of all reported cases of gonorrhea. And that’s just the dudes who got treated for it… the others, hmmm …

Same goes for clamydia and syphilis. Blacks accounted for 50% of ALL cases. That’s an insane number.

In toto If 100 people in a room with 3 of them accounting for over half of all STD’s and those 3 are always black people … hmmm.

Same for AIDS. The aids rate among black males is astounding. Consider that at least 30% of all black males in the above 3% group are locked away in prison and the numbers become even more astounding. It seems that 2% of our entire population is responsible for almost all diseases and all violent crime, rape, murders, and robbery.

I’m not going to list every CDC statistic. Basically, there is roughly a 100% probability that any random black has some type of or multie STD’s.
Many for which there is no cure for like AIDS, Herpes, and Hep-C. Hmmm… serious pathology.

A plague on themselves since they mostly seem to go after each others. Paging Al and consorts ….

Not sure I can blame the voters on that one.
Astounding.

Had bookmarked it at the time for it amused me greatly, here.

Looking into this right now. Somewhat OT but amazing. Jeez!

They had found previous evidence of racial profiling, and did the new study to prove that the troopers were stopping black drivers for speeding based on racial profiling. It was a well-designed study, using radar to identify speeders and high-speed cameras to take pictures of drivers. Three impartial people reviewed the photographs and, if at least 2 of them agreed on the driver’s race, they accepted the photograph and only then did others match up the photos to the recorded speeds. Surprise!! Black drivers were about twice as likely as white drivers to be speeding, and they were actually stopped and ticketed in slightly LESS proportion to the number of actual speeders than were whites. The Justice Department refused to publicly release the study. Unbelievable.

It’s ALL about culture. The urban black culture is VASTLY different than the urban non-black culture.

I assume the Minneapolis ACLU is standing four-square behind what is happening there.

9AM to 5PM is worktime. If you’re in the office, you can’t comming any driving offense.

So basically the graph shows that whether a community has a higher unemployement, they have more spare time to drive around and get driving offenses.

Living apart.

For years people have been fighting for the right to divorce. That was seen as progressive. Why shouldn’t communities have this same right too?
