Ice Cube's Obfuscation "Gangsta Rap Made Us Do It"

"In the year 2007 there were (I will round downward) 14,000 homicides in the United States of America. Of that number 7,000 Black people were the victims. Of the murderers who were identified 91% of these killers of these Black people were BLACK THEMSELVES. 7,000 people dead from a racial group in our society that is only 14% of the entire population. We focus so much on how Blacks are OVERREPRESENTED in so many of the negative portrayals in America. We what do you say when our own actions are the key force making this the case.

"I can tell from your video that you are no fan of Evil George W. Bush. Bush's Iraq/Afghanistan policy has lead to the deaths of 4,500 Americans in 5 years. It is interesting that when I listen to various Black Progressive operatives - they are more inclined to list IRAQ as a problem than they are to list BLACK ON BLACK HOMICIDE as a problem. I recently wrote a post about two different Black Progressives who noted that 'There are too many Black men on the front lines in Iraq WHO ARE BEING KILLED' and thus Iraq is at or near the top of the list of concerns for the Black community.

"Wait a minute. 4,500 dead Americans over 5 years versus 7,000 dead Black folks domestically IN ONE YEAR and you mean to tell me that IRAQ IS A GREATER THREAT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY? PLEASE!"
