When there is a significant correlation between race and culture, the politically correct reaction is to completely ignore glaring truths and seek solutions in other arenas.
There is a glaring truth that we overlook in these statistical facts: "Among whites, 77 percent of gun deaths are suicides. But among black Americans, 82 percent of gun deaths are homicides."
Another truth? That the majority of those homicides of black Americans are committed by other black Americans.
Will we openly examine the nature of the "black culture" and how it might affect these numbers? Absolutely not, at least not if the PC police have any say... and the problem doesn't get solved.
Who's the racist? He who asks, or he who demand we don't ask? |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
