Black-on-black crime is the primary root of all this. All of it. There is of course black-on-white crime and to a lesser extent, white-on-black crime. But the dominant social movement - the reason the police are so intimately in contact with this community (with the massively focused-on results) - is black-on-black crime.

The root of black-on-black crime? The destruction of black social support systems, most especially the family.

And who is responsible for that? The policies that have done the most to destroy black social systems have been put in place by precisely the people who are now claiming to be their greatest friends - liberal whites.

This is a predictable disaster. It will end when people let go of their "ideal" world-saving instincts, and begin to address the world just as it is.

Punish criminal behavior - regardless of race. Reward responsible behavior - regardless of race. Stop subsidizing failure, both at the extreme bottom of the social ladder, and most especially at the extreme top of the social ladder, where we have more dead wood than can even be imagined.

I can dream.
