Rahm Emanuel: "But part of this is having an honest conversation, given that the lion’s share of both the victims and the perpetrators are young African-American men."

"We have to have more investment in our children. But part of this is having an honest conversation, given that the lion’s share of both the victims and the perpetrators are young African-American men."

It's an open secret that few politicians or community leaders have the honesty and courage to address. The majority of violent crime in this country, by far, is black-on-black. Everybody knows it, but "political correctness" forbids us mention of it. Where did Rahm suddenly find the fortitude to speak truth? I heard him say it on the news, and couldn't believe my ears. Not surprisingly, the media mostly ignored the statement, it took me a a while to find reference in print. Had a conservative politician made the same statement, they would have been roasted by the liberal media. Rahm says it and it goes mostly unreported. 

Social engineering policies of the past decades have failed the black community miserably. Who decided that  African Americans have less ability, talent and mental capacity than whites and should be given preferential treatment? Oh yeah, that has been a resounding success for the black community. And that's no secret.
