The problems in black communities are economic and self inflicted. Our economy stinks right now point blank. Why flip burgers for 8.75 per hour when you can make hundreds every day selling drugs? These crimes are not reported in black communities where drug dealers set up drug houses instead of standing on the street corners. Why bring home a couple hundred a week when you can make hundreds everyday? Same is true for the young ladies: work at the strip club and bring home hundreds every night. Black entertainment is cashing in on the fast money lifestyle and praising it in song/rap. Exploitation is everywhere! Of course, with the fast money come the risks! violence, drug use and going to jail. Gangs are a more organized path to gettin' paid & protection as well. The police are smack dab in the middle of it all. This generation does not have the respect for law enforcement that they have had in previous generations, and fighting back is becoming an accepted alternative. Yes, police are patrolling the black communities to protect the innocent and bust the guilty. Naturally the police work the high crime areas much harder then the low crime areas. Common sense! The black community has not embraced the concept of getting a higher education to succeed in life, working hard for achievement, or finding religion. Broken families/single parent homes are not helping. It seems everyone has abandoned this segment of our population, and only seeks to exploit it for their own gain. There are numerous churches in every black community who often prey on the people (Not All are bad). Kids endure hardship early in life and drop out of school to enter into making quick money in their teens. Once they obtain the felony convictions they are stuck with no more options. Of course our society witnesses lots of folks living "FREE" off of food stamps, housing assistance and hustling to make ends meet as well. There are no strong black leaders who are addressing these issues! What they seem to have are "ambulance chasers" who show up to get their names in the headlines when a incident happens. There are no effective organizations or movements operating that seek to make the segment a better community. Black lives Matter lacks direct & focus and operates more as a racist hate group then an beneficial movement. They only address symptoms but never the illness. Why protest every incident when a white police officer shoots a black citizen without addressing the hundred fold problem of blacks shooting blacks? Why not endorse higher education for your people? Why not address drug selling & use in the communities? Why not address poverty? Why not address the disproportionate numbers of black people in jails? Why not address young black girls having children too early in life and eliminating their options before their adulthood? Why not address young black boys/men who abandon their children without regard to raising them? Etc, etc............... WAKE UP!

This has been happening in Europe & Asia for decades. Nothing new! The Middle East does it too. Unless you have been sleeping under a rock everyone should know this! LOL

The economy is still in the gutter! Obama and the government attempt to sell that we are recovering, but the truth is we are still hurting badly. Yes, there are jobs; not the career type jobs that you can feed a family on - low paying hourly wage jobs. Now I hear that Hillarious wants to increase Middle Class taxes! Really? She thinks that the Middle Class make $250,000.00 per year. Talk about out-of-touch with reality! The Democrats are really good at doing just that! Obama has increased taxes during his 8 years & Hillarious will follow in his footsteps.

What about all the rich folks hiding assets overseas, and not paying taxes?

Since I have been around there is always a drug which is popular, and people die from taking it! I say let them! One less dumb person to worry about. LOL

When ever I feel stupid: I remember our folks in Washington spent 20 trillion dollars more than they have!

Poor Bernie. The world now knows that the "FIX" was officially done. It is one thing to suspect, but another to have proof. As if firing the head of the Democratic party fixes the entire problem right? What about Hillarious's part in this conspiracy? First she resigns after the failure to do her job, then she fixes the investigation, then she fixes the FBI results, and now she fixes the Democratic ticket. WOW Had Bernie been the nominee: I might have had a tough decision to make which way I would have voted. Now that we know it is Hillarious - No decision is necessary, I am voting TRUMP. Hillarious is just plain DIRTY. A liar, a cheat, and a money grubbing politician.

In America, the land of the free - You actually do not own anything. Oh they will issue a title after the loans are paid in full but you own nothing. Only the government owns property.

France and the EU made the dumbest move in history when they opened their doors to people from all over the Middle East. Now they have so many different nationalities and so many potential terrorist that they can not keep track of all of them. Funny how every nation is sending condolences, prayers but no call to action or even a plan to attempt to stop this from happening again. Everyone knows the likely suspect is ISIS, and they know where they are headquartered. Yet, everyone is sitting on the sidelines waiting for Assad & Iraq to finish ISIS off. With just a "Token" bit of assistance from a few countries. SAD Strangest way to fight a war I have ever seen! I know Obama is unwilling to go after ISIS & I suspect that Clinton will continue our "Token" efforts as well. Maybe Trump will have the balls to get the job done?

I honestly feel like we are back in the 50's & 60's in America when America was making all sorts of concessions to the African-America community due to slavery. I wonder how long this reverse-discrimination is going to be allowed to happen? When will our people be treated equal regardless of race? Can we ever reach that point? Why is it racist to say "All lives Matter" yet not racist to say "Black lives Matter"???????? Being an older guy who has lived through the unrest, race riots and Civil Rights times; I see less discrimination against color, but more discrimination against weather you have money or have not. A rich black man is treated just as well as a rich white man in America simply because they have money. Everyone knows that there are two sets of justice, one for the rich & another for the poor. People need to realize that there will always be people who need to think that they are better than someone else simply because they think they are superior. Thus discrimination will never completely go away. Black entertainers (Singers/Rappers) are capitalizing on the culture of drugs, strippers, violence, disrespect, crime, and fast money. If you listen to their music - it glamorizes drug dealing, strippers, and hustling for money. Yet, they are quick to voice their opinions against law enforcement or government that clashes with the people who brake the law. You can not have it both ways. You can not advocate crime then speak against the people who enforce the laws. In this day & age - everyone knows if you want to get ahead in life; GET AN EDUCATION! Rap about that! Tell the kids to stay in school, work hard, stay out of trouble, plan for the future, treat each other with respect, and succeed.

Not what you might call the "die hard Trump supporter" but given the choices, I do pick Trump over the consummate liar, cheat & thief on the Democratic ticket.

I signed, so happy others recognize this group as a threat to America. A disruptive influence on our people.

As things stand now - Looks like Clinton against Trump for the upcoming elections right? Question: Should Hillarious win; Can Bill (Slick Willie) as the First Husband be Impeached AGAIN for sleeping around? LOL

George Hayduke you can BUMP my post all you like about police officers. I bet ya money if an emergency happens - You will call them! LOL

There are bad police officers! Fact, as in any profession. I believe that 99% are good folks (regardless of color) who go to work everyday attempting to do the right thing (within the limits set by the law). Obviously, they meet the public most of the time whenever they are investigating a possible crime. Not the best situation by any means. Many of the people who are on the receiving end of the officers call are at their worst; drunk, high, depressed, excited, angry, or afraid. What do you do if there are warrants already out for your arrest and you do not want to go to jail? These men & women are in a hazardous profession, and in any given moment may find themselves in a life threatening situation. Imagine stopping a car for a traffic violation, walking up to ask for their license & registration and the driver points a gun at you? You can not walk up with your gun drawn, expecting the worst outcome possible, so you have to trust to fate. They have families & loved ones just like the rest of us. Their lives are as precious as anyone else's. Some people (the good officers) can handle this type of stress, and shrug it off to continue to the next call. Other's do not handle it well & resign from the job. I imagine there are one's who allow the stress to build up & coop as best as they can but it may not be possible. Still others should never have taken up this high stress occupation in the first place. Bottom line - we should be a tad bit more understanding, and the police department should be more observant for the signs of extreme stress or inability to handle the job. Finally, the police should be held to the highest standard of excellence & proficiency and a zero excuse policy must be maintained. Body cameras are the greatest thing since sliced beard but technology is only a tool that must be monitored continuously. I have the utmost respect for anyone who is a police officer in America. The most challenging profession there is!

The death toll is now 5 officers - 4 regular and one Dart officer.

ONLY if you married her! LOL Single guys can still look!

IF ONLY IT COULD COME TRUE!

I A L M O S T felt sorry for women until I remembered who pays for dinner, washes the cars, takes out the trash, walks the dog, cuts the grass, fixes every little project around the house, and has to listen to all the terrible stories of the trials of your day & how it made you feel.

Trump is 100% correct. Saddam had zero problem with terrorist! LOL

Lets NOT call them Radical Islamic Terrorist and maybe they will leave us alone! LOL

The American people love & appreciate our troops! Always have, always will. It's a shame our representatives in Washington only say the words but do not reflect that with their actions!

WOW Farming tips! Something new on the site. LOL

America has grown used to accommodating everyone! Special Interest Groups, minorities, atheists, and Liberals just to name a few. This is exactly why that group of interns were fired for attempting to change a dress code policy for their company. They actually thought that management would concede to their demands. LOL I have no doubt they learned this behavior in college. Great job on preparing these young men & women for the workforce! In my opinion, the majority needs to stand up & be counted. Politicians at every level of government do NOT represent the people who voted them into office. They represent the donors who put money in their campaigns. Greed has taken over America, and the 1% & big business are dictating our laws and policies. The Middle Class is shrinking, and American jobs are going to other countries. Anyone who believes that Hillarious wants, or plans to change the status quo in America is drinking brake fluid. She will continue the course set by Obama while lining her pockets with money from whichever special interest group throws the most money her way. At least in Trump I see the least of two evils. & possible change to our corrupt dysfunctional system of government.

I really have no problem with people from all over the world coming to America. America was founded by immigrants. Just do NOT come to America & try to live like you are in another country! Learn our language, accept our customs, embrace our culture - become American. Stop giving our driver's license test in 16 different languages! Warning/hazard/directional signs only come in 1 language; English. Please name another country who gives their driver's license test in English for the immigrants? Besides an international license of course! Stop making exceptions for every religion except Christian! America was founded based on our religion, but in our zeal to embrace other religions we discriminate against our own!
