"It clearly says to the rest of the country that there is a racial problem with the NYPD," said the Rev.
Al Sharpton.
Or is there a crime problem in the black community?

Crime is a problem in any area where there is poverty. And it must be extremely hard to fathom that there are race problems in the NYPD...*rolls eyes*
So, what exactly are you saying?

There is a racial problem with the NYPD. When you shoot an unarmed man the day before his wedding, it doesn't look good at all. Especially the number of times the man was shot. You never really hear about the police accidentally killing a white man, but it seems to happen to blacks a lot. The truth is police a far more likely to pull their gun out on black man, than a white man. Due to their stereotypical nature, they feel the black man is more likely to be more of a threat.
As for crime in the black community. There's also crime in the white community. And you know what, there is crime in every community. Especially among the poor.

is there a racial problem with the NYPD? = Yes
is there a crime problem in the Black community = Yes
Every one seem to know this.
is there a crime problem in the White community = Yes
I don't know why people think nothing happens in these communities.
is there a crime problem in my community = Yes
is there a crime problem in your community = Yes
Its funny, when whites make up 70%+ of the total arrests in the US. Everyone only wants to comment on 'Black Crime'. Its the Hispanics and latin Americans fault now right, markedasterisk?

When I showed you the real stats. You had nothing to say.
Unlike most others I provide a source for my argument.

Mr. Sharpton has a political agenda. He has to see conspiracies in the Black to White relationship. If he didn't stir up hate and discontent he would be out of a job.

According to statistics, there is a crime problem.
Hey Caramelsu: Psycho...calm down. The tone of this question is not racist, though it should be. The truth hurts doesn't it? Funny for someone so secure with themselves and there life, you seem to need to prove how "deghetto" you are, why is that? You ashamed of those in your community who can't say that for themself? Tsk tsk...shame on you. Check the statistics if you dont' want to be rational and discuss social issues that effect all of our lives. I have no desire to email you, you sound ignorant.
Edit: Caramelpu: Do you call people like me racist expecting it to bother me? I can't answer for the person who asked this question but I am racist and proud. You'd like to believe racists are only hicks...your wrong little girl. Now GO..be gone.

There's a racial problem everywhere, and the Reverend Al must've felt the need for some TV time in order to make such a profound statement.
He's mostly full of shite, you know..

I have a hard time believing anything he says. Everything boils down to race and how minorities are mistreated etc. He needs to "Get over it". When similarities instead of differences are accentuated I think real progess will start to happen with regards to racial issues.

Hmmmm. So, because a black man robs or kills it justified for the police to shoot an unarmed man for being black?
Its ok to sodomize any black man with a broom?
Why don't they stop white boys on the way to school since statistically they are 99% more likely to shoot up the place. Or how 'bout white men in offices. The too are more likely to bomb it or shoot it up.
Come on. White men are more likely to be serial killers and rapists...why no profiling for them? Its not fair. If the profiled all races for what they are more likely to do...fine, but they only profile blacks....not cool man, not cool at all.

Hasn't anyone figured out yet that a Black person uses Racist much like a White uses N-Ger. Both terms should be illegal, that would screw both parties.
