Tony Blair: Black culture to blame for murders

Provocative words from Prime Minister Tony Blair:

Tony Blair yesterday claimed the spate of knife and gun murders in London was not being caused by poverty, but a distinctive black culture. His remarks angered community leaders, who accused him of ignorance and failing to provide support for black-led efforts to tackle the problem.

One accused him of misunderstanding the advice he had been given on the issue at a Downing Street summit.

Black community leaders reacted after Mr Blair said the recent violence should not be treated as part of a general crime wave, but as specific to black youth. He said people had to drop their political correctness and recognise that the violence would not be stopped "by pretending it is not young black kids doing it".

I find that interesting.  Almost as interesting as the idea that more blacks call black women "hos" and other demeaning things than Don Imus has hats.

I think it'd be fresh if the media covered that.

But don't hold your breath.

Holy CRAP. Can't believe I'm just finding out about that now. I don't think even Bill Cosby would be able to get away with saying something like that.

Who needs the Klan, when black kids are killing each other and calling each other racist names?
