Black On White Crime An Uncomfortable Truth
The sad truth is,
13 % of the population commits 50% of the crime.
Mentioning this fact automatically qualifies me as a racist on many avenues..
So call me a racist then..I'll never bend facts-I know who I am-do you.
This statistics lead me to conclude that I've more reason to be afraid of you
than you of me, but the ratings whores(media) want us to believe its the other way around...as do the radical left.
but it black on white crime doesn't sell-the colors are in the wrong order.
Statistically speaking you are much more a danger to me
than I am to you...the difference is rather staggering-
This leads me to believe that there are just as many racists people
in your neighborhood as there are in mine, if not more.
When statistics become uncomfortable
they're largely ignored-or fingered until they fit a narrative.
Then the disfigured numbers are emblazoned in gold leaf
and slung around the I can't breathe riot theatre.
FOLKS,we need to talk about "everything" put it all atop the table.
Sweeping selective dirt under societal throw rugs, misleads and breeds more social disease.
We need to talk more about broken homes-dirty neighborhoods
just as much as we need to talk about dirty cops...I'm listening....
