Understand we have our own problem here with media perpetuated stereotypes, particularly as it relates to black males. Based on six o'clock news reports, you'd think almost every black kid that approaches you wants to:
a. sell you drugs
b. rob you
c. kill you

While it is statistically true that a disproportionate percentage of crime is perpetrated by young black males, you can't extrapolate from that to infer that crime lurks in the hearts of the same percentage of back males you'll encounter in your daily life. Yet, sadly, and at great disservice to them, we do.

Same is true with the "facts" of Muslim terrorism.
