+1 .Thats why we are considered the greatest nation on earth.You are always free to leave if you disagree though

 

Of course the youths from your link had to be black

 

Because of diversity? No it's not.

 

You can mostly thank the democrats for that.

 

Yes it is

 

No you can't

 

LOL! Considered the greatest nation on Earth by whom? I don't know if you've noticed but we aren't exactly very popular anymore. In fact, the more diverse we've become the more hated we've become. All this wonderful diversity has corresponded perfectly with the plummeting of America's popularity abroad. America has never been more diverse in history, and it has also never been more hated in history.

 

You know it's funny I couldn't find any mass mob shooting, stabbing, and looting incidents which involved crowds of white youths. It's odd, for some reason, very few of them ever are. They are almost invariably non white kids. Given the fact that only 12% of the nation is black, yet almost 100% of the flash mob incidents involve almost all black participants, how is this not significant? Why do you think this is? Surely no reasonable person would conclude that it's NOT statistically significant, so why do YOU think that it's almost exclusively a black phenomenon?

 

The child in Baltimore was wounded because of the practice that some city inhabitants have (I won't point out color or race, though this practice is only found in areas where race/color are of ONE particular type) of shooting firearms into the sky to celebrate the fourth.

Of course, the same jackasses that fire their guns into the air either don't understand the concept of gravity or don't care. People get hit by stray bullets around the 4th every year because of this asinine behavior.
