Can we stop pretending that gang violence... [View all]

Wasn't/isn't a real thing?

Hillary used some unfortunate language, but do people really believe she's a racist? C'mon now.

I lived in Chicago for 10 years. There are reasons why people don't go to large swaths of the city unless they were born there. Yes, systemic inequality and a corrupt/incompetent police force play a large role in this. Poverty and lack of opportunity breeds crime.

People are killed, constantly. It's been going on for decades. Hillary taking a "tough on crime" approach is not something to be shocked or offended by.

How many of you oh-so-PC folks watched The Wire and loved it? What would you call Marlo Stanfeld? Misunderstood? Or a danger to society? How about the cartels in Mexico? Yes, there are some scary-as-fuck actual predators out there, and to deny their existence is intellectually dishonest.

Again, yes, Hillary should have chosen her words better. But lets be real about this.
