We're #1! We're #1!
So, 49 victims and 49 perps. 98 total. How many of the 98 were white? Where's BLM?
Dat be rasis. LOL ! Give them more ammo, let them thin the herd more. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.

Does this show what will happen if minorities become the majority? The entire country could become like Chicago or Cleveland.
Psalm 37
There is nothing sexist about that. They can't have Father's Day shootings because almost none of them can narrow who their father may be down to 10 likely suspects. This is what happens when women have welfare babies to get the welfare check and the free housing. They don't care who the sperm provider may be because the government,using tax dollars stolen by false premise from productive taxpayers, is their real "baby daddy". Think that's what they were talking about when they did that "We iz da wurld" broadcast? BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Not to worry. Bathhouse Barry will lose his gubbermint housing pretty soon,and is bound to move back "home" to Chicago. After all,he has a mansion there that has been sitting empty for the last 8 years because he wouldn't even allow his aunt or uncle that were living in public housing stay there. Truly a man ob de peep-pulls. Maybe he will even spend a few weeks working with a voice coach so he can sing the opening lines of a spiritual or two when he moves back in? BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

Judging from counties with non-white majority populations that aren't Asian,the answer is "Of course". BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority?
