Are you denying that the crime rate in Washington DC is disgustly high and that the majority of those commiting the crimes are black?

I don't think your sentiments are an issue of racism, but that of political correctness. You can't admit that, on a percentage basis, black people commit more crimes than whites. You can't admit, on a percentage basis, black people are bilking the welfare system more than whites.

I know there are societal and historical reasons for the race disparity in the issues stated above. I am not naive enough (or racist enough) to suggest that black people are in anyway inferior to white people. I'm just going by the facts as they lay.

It's hard to attack a problem without properly defining it first. It's even harder when you're forced to do it with kid gloves.
