Of course, you were safe in your lily-white liberal neighborhood wringing your hands over the plight of the blacks...you wouldn't know about real life. Can you tell me of any credit-worthy blacks who have been denied bank loans for legitimate reasons? Voting rights took a while, but there are no problems today, quite the opposite...think ACORN for one example. I am really tired of white liberals with NO life experience in these matters pontificating on this! I am sure you are also against black conservatives, who do recognize the problems and are stifled because of their beliefs.

Perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye. The black fellow, he may have committed another crime and mistakenly thought he was being arrested for that. When people have nothing to lose they lose it.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Bullet is lodged in his head. He fired at the officers who gave pursuit and emptied his gun (357 magnum) and was shot to death by the officers who gave chase. I am sure because he emptied his gun there will be repercussions as to why they shot him and did not count the number of rounds he had fired while trying to kill them. Wait and see this will turn into white police officers shooting a defenseless black man who shot a white officer in the face and tried to kill some other officers but ran out of bullets and got shot before he could reload. It is not fair. They should have let him reload. Or at least ask him if he had a bad childhood before defending themselves. Bad white policemen. Good black criminal with a 357 magnum.

The level of blind bigotry on this site just keeps growing. If there were no practical consequences to this empty-headed racism it'd be funny. But it's tragic.

However he had the opportunity to bring the two communities closer than any president because of his race and he completely ignored doing so. He actually stirred the pot and made it worse. He did nothing but widen the gap and probably set us back a good number of years. Again my opinion but not mine alone. Obama definitely did not help the situation. Racial tension is higher now than it has been in a long time and not just because of some shootings, but rather how they were handled by the White House. If you have to ask me what actions and what was said there is no use in having this discussion. There has been a racial divide before he was elected. However he just widened it when as the first black president he had a unique opportunity to if not close the gap but narrow it considerably. Unfortunately he chose to widen it.
