That was pretty much the jist of the point I thought you were trying to make. Oh, maybe he thought "white collared crime" meant white people. Hmm, what's the saying about a hurt dog?

Look, it's obvious that blacks are profiled differently than whites. Want proof?

I bet if you talk to enough black people you will find that profiling either has or continues to happen to them regularly. Where does this mentality come from? Could it be society? Could it be racism? I guess go ask the people that commit these offenses and figure it out yourself, but it is obvious that the perception of a black person in a certain car or on a certain side of town or even walking in a department store is viewed differently than if he were white. There are too many stories that would prove otherwise.

Oh, please. You don't think that? Come on.

I tell you what I do get...I get that you don't know how to spell the elementary word: cars...and it has happened more than once.


I have no idea what is meant by "zomg"

Oh ya, well my dad could beat up your dad!!

This is why it's hard to take you seriously. I simply asked why you brought up the fact that there are almost no black violators of anti-trust laws - and all of a sudden, I'm a racist. You have no credibility.

Oh, I forgot, everyone who is not a liberal must hate the poor, love the rich and be an absolute racist and homophobe. LOL.

An appeal to ridicule and a complete dodge of my point? Was it foolish of me to expect anything more? I don't know how I managed to miss my mistake on such a short post, but I don't need to explain the circumstances to you.

Clearly, racism is a concern. But what does it have to do with THIS TOPIC?

Clearly you were not around in the day. Well, I was, so let me share some reality with you.

The guy I voted for, who from here out shall be known forevermore by his true name, L*mpD*ck Carter, managed (I use the word loosely) to take our country into a place that needed a new name: THE MISERY INDEX.

I bought a home back then...wanna guess the interest rate? try 13.1%. Yeah, misery index. Not to mention that whole oil embargo thing. We couldn't even rescue our own people out of a POS state called Iran because our military was so defunct that the d*mned choppers crashed!!!

You think Americans are bemoaning the crises of today...you have no idea.

THAT is where this country was when Ronnie came on the scene. He restored us. Not just as a nation but our own belief in ourselves, gave us hope back.

Every American man, woman, and president has been riding his coattails since.

We can hope Obama will be the one to restore us now, only time will tell.

Until then, make no mistake, Reagan was a great president!

Better to be an informed bigot than a politically correct dolt!

Are you applying the change in media coverage and and advanced technology from 1981 to 2009? No. It's not a balanced playing field. That's like comparing Reagan to Hoover in a way. There's a decade/technology factor.

To be fair, a recession, and unemployment was carried over from Nixon/Ford. It's kind of short-sided to assign blame to Carter alone, isn't it?.
Not quantifiable. The military was not defunct. It existed. Are you saying the pilots were incapable? Do you have first hand knowledge of this? What if they were chopper vets?

You may also remember the recession created under his watch and raising of taxes. You cannot cite Carter on an economic point and expect Reagan to not also be measured.

Now that's a stretch.
