Ordinary black people cannot afford to go along with the liberal agenda that calls for undermining police authority. That agenda makes for more black crime victims. Let's look at what works and what doesn't work.
In 1990, New York City adopted the practice in which its police officers might stop and question a pedestrian. If there was suspicion, they would frisk the person for weapons and other contraband. This practice, well within the law, is known as a Terry stop. After two decades of this proactive police program, New York City's homicides fell from over 2,200 per year to about 300. Blacks were the major beneficiaries of proactive policing. According to Manhattan Institute scholar Heather Mac Donald — author of "The War on Cops" — seeing as black males are the majority of New York City's homicide victims, more than 10,000 blacks are alive today who would not be had it not been for proactive policing.
The American Civil Liberties Union and other leftist groups brought suit against proactive policing. A U.S. District Court judge ruled that New York City's "stop and frisk" policy violated the 14th Amendment's promise of equal protection because black and Hispanic people were subject to stops and searches at a higher rate than whites. But the higher rate was justified. Mac Donald points out that while blacks are 23 percent of New York City's population, they are responsible for 75 percent of shootings and 70 percent of robberies. Whites are 34 percent of the population of New York City. They are responsible for less than 2 percent of shootings and 4 percent of robberies. If you're trying to prevent shootings and robberies, whom are you going to focus most attention on, blacks or whites?

This piece clearly details the figures and statistics that all liberals ignore. People lie...not figures....right there in print and easy to understand. How can these things not be shared with the American people?
If there was family structure, you know, a father and mother in the household, that showed love as well as discipline to their children, along with morals, these statistics would drop drastically. Life lessons are best taught by parents that walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
The numbers don't lie. But let's concentrate on feelings instead, okay?
The KKK was created by liberal Democrats of the South. Planned Parenthood's founder was prejudiced and desired to limit the black population through birth control and abortion. Some blacks are coming around and realizing the Democrats are not their friends just because they give them more free stuff. Our country is broke and to improve the situation, many will have to sacrifice by doing without some of the things and services they're used to having.
