Thoughts from the abyss

Today, I was reading about sports as I frequently do as a fan, and ran across some comments by Don Imus. Now while I expect nothing less from him, the comments on this article really bother me the most.

Now I understand the thought that Blacks while 17% of the population commit 60% of the crimes but that is leaving out a giant piece of this puzzle. How many Whites are not charged with crimes they commited and how many Blacks are charged wrongfully. I believe that once you take that in to account then the numbers would be significantly different. We live in a racist country. As much as we would like to believe otherwise, thats not a reality.  Now I could go on a tangent and discuss how this racist behavior truly prepetuates the crime because it takes the opportunities away from people when you don’t give people jobs because of their skin color etc.  Like now, how much has crime and suicide in the White community gone up since they have had to deal with the current recession? That would be something to look at. Now this is not to make excuses because of the actions of dumbasses but it is to say that we need to look at this more objectively without the natural, inferiority of blacks filter on.

So after much soul searching, I have come to a conclusion that while it may seem controversal is my opinon. That is that Integration, while in therory great, was bad for the Black community. It was like putting a band aid on a Gun shot wound.  See, you changed the things that Blacks could have with out dealing with the underlying issue of people believing that Blacks are inferior.
