I noted today by a television announcer that the population of this community is two-thirds black.  It is interesting how these folks find it necessary to destroy public property, steal private property and shoot at police to justify their anger. 

It was also noted that a majority of the police department of this community is white.  Perhaps if the other two-thirds of the community took time to apply themselves in school, actually graduate from school and attend college, they would have been qualified to pass an Officer’s qualification test to join the force.  Of course, when one is in the third and fourth generation of being on the dole, one does not wish to apply themselves.  Stealing must seem easier with any excuse.

My observation with a question is this:  If a young white boy had a questionable shooting such as this, would there have been the white population of this community doing the same in rioting?  Many would call this a racist commentary.  To me what is racist is when a population use the excuse of their color to commit crime on a wide basis such as this in their community.

Perhaps cancelling the citizenship of these two-thirds of rioting blacks and shipping them back to their homeland would render them further opportunities to further burn and destroy the habitants of their home country.  This would be a better outcome for all concerned for both blacks and whites.  Much jungle brush could be cleared up that way.
