Sorry Mike, you're trying to sell a load of Bull. For instance: "The police got out of control!"; as if you didn't know they were already out of control? You never heard of Amadou Diallo? The Central Park Five? Never, ever became aware of how Blacks were being treated differently than whites? No awareness of history of slavery, segregation and/or discrimination? While prisons were full of blacks even while whites were committing more crime? You knew none of this information that would have helped you make a better judgement about how stop and frisk might be used? Yeah? Even while civic leaders were complaining and trying hard to inform you that your plan was wrong and going horribly awry? Then you come back only 18 months ago and continue to try and sell your failed program, even after analysis, proven in courts of law, show that it had done nothing more than egregiously violate the civil rights of Blacks for no public benefit at all. Not to mention that it was based on a racist trope that Blacks were criminals one and all, that started soon after Blacks; freed from slavery, began to gain positions of respect in society. As a media mogul you had to know about that and have a good grasp of how to evaluate stories. Meaning you had to have a good foundation in historical lore. So don't give me that bulls*it about how you made a "mistake". Because it's the same "mistake" every klansman claims he has made, whenever he has been caught! So just stop with the Bull Mike, you're fooling no one but yourself!!!
One of the main reasons that blacks have one tenth of the wealth of whites is; for 500 years blacks could not earn pay for their labors, build no family wealth and nothing to pass to the next generation. This had the worst impact as the 200 years of the industrial revolution began to take hold. Blacks could not participate in the boom although it was their labor that made it possible.
So, what these statistics are showing us is that 9 tenths of what a black family should have is what was stolen from them and you aren't for giving any of it back. Thanks Mike!
