If you win 90% of the time you play a certain number , why pick a different one .
And let's give credit it's due here . Holder does nothing to protect these neighbor hoods . When the #^&#^&#^&#^& hits the fan it's always a cop that risks his life .

Yes, there is that. If blacks commit a disproportionate share of the crime, common sense suggests they should represent a disproportionate share of the arrests. Blacks, of course, are not genetically programmed to break the law. It's not ethnic, it's socio-economic. Tragically, current black culture embraces and celebrates values and decisions that greatly increase one's chances of living in poverty. Ironically, it's what conservatives preach (stay in school, get a good job, go to church, marry for love, don't have kids unless you are in love and financially stable) that's precisely what poor people need to lift themselves out of poverty. But instead of embracing what conservatives preach, conservatives are labeled as racists who only care about the wealthy.
