    you're probably right....the murder rate in black communities is disgusting.
     
  3. I'm assuming you're not that obtuse, so you're just snarking.
    Diallo. Louima. Dorismond. Sean Bell.
    The list goes on.

    I know. The Diallo case was about race as well -- and weren't the cops acquitted in that one too (I don't remember)?
    First time Springsteen played American Skin (41 Shots) was in Atlanta prior to shows at MSG.
    Where's he playing tonight? Atlanta.

    Its a good thing 2 of the officers were black or Queens would be on fire right now.

    Yet another example of how racist Al is.

    The crucial element, it appears, was the decision of the defense to avoid a jury trial.

    Is anyone really surprised they walked? I mean, really?

    The easiest thing to do in America is find 12 idiots.

    I was at that show. That's the first and only time I've had a chance to see the Boss.

    Chilling performance, because everyone knew they were headed for a week of shows at MSG immediately afterward and it was still a hot-button issue.

    You say race, I say statistical predisposition.

    So... let me get this right... you are saying that all the black guys who are killing black guys are... racist????

    Should change your name to Fenian Le Batard.
