Interesting if different perspective: "I lived in the 4200 block of Pimlico Road. Drug dealers decided to open for business on a corner across from the house where I, my wife and two children lived. It wasn't long after that this group -- I immediately dubbed them 'trifling Negroes' -- started camping out on my front porch and steps. They'd leave whenever I asked them, but I procured a shotgun for those who might be uncooperative. I didn't plan to kill anyone, of course, just shoot off a few kneecaps. Trifling Negroes, I had determined, don't really need or deserve kneecaps. But they do serve a purpose. Because of them, I went from being an advocate of gun control to being a staunch adherent of individual gun ownership for self-defense. When it dawned on me that liberal black leadership on a national scale had far more sympathy for the trifling Negroes than they did for me or other black folks who had both jobs and home training, I became a conservative. For years, I uttered the mantra few black liberals or nationalists wanted to hear: Black criminals weren't victims; they were victimizers. It took more than 15 years, but the black conservative message is starting to seep through." --Baltimore Sun's Gregory Kane
