Dave: "These are not run-of-the-mill murders over drugs or robberies or even turf. They're just racially motivated hate crimes against whites."

They're killing each other in far greater numbers. No they aren't. Homicide rates for all races have been dropping for decades. cdc.gov abcnews.go.com I will grant you that the wingnut rage machine is scouring the news to play up the meme of angry black thugs on a killing spree, good for gun sales don't you, but that isn't the reality. It is sort of like the spate of kids shooting kids stories or people accidentally discharging firearms at gun shows. Pre-Sandy Hook those stories only made the local media, if that. Now they can get national attention. But they are not more prevalent than they were in the past. Same here. These things are no more prevalent than in the past. But the wingnut echo chamber wants to manufacture a "black thugs run amok" meme in the wake of the Zimmermann trial. The rage is good for business, you see. And y'all can reliably be counted on to cough up bucks in situations like this. Short of shoots holes in your claims that liberals and blacks are the real racists, but consistency and small minds... There is gold in them rage-fed hills!
