“Let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting scared? Government sponsored racism.”
“Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy: Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children”.
Then he finds a way to blame Sarah Palin? He asks the stupid stupid stupid question of where was Palin when he was at a crime scene? Why wasn't she there. Well, duh.

What about "our" innocent white children killed in the crossfire? Do they merit no acknowledgement?
Here in Germany the Jewish community, which also suffered a form of "Government sponsored racism," is slowly building itself back. One doesn't see anyone forced to justify or make any excuses for them killing in the streets with automatic weapons, promote violent misogyny and homophobia in their music, wear their trousers down to their ankles and engage in various other anti-social behaviour. I am very sympathetic to the black community's history of abuse and persecution. But I am equally convinced by people like Bill Cosby who declare that the solution lies in their leadership, families and communities and not in an outdated persecution complex 40 years after the initiation of the Great Society.
