    The mayor spoke Sunday to the congregation at the First Baptist Church of Brownsville, a neighborhood in Brooklyn with one of the city’s highest crime rates.

    Bloomberg told worshippers that the NYPD is stepping up its efforts to treat anyone who is stopped “with civility” — not the rough manner Bishop Gerald Seabrooks says is sometimes used, with officers slamming young men against walls.

    Bloomberg and the NYPD have defended the program as a help in bringing down crime. Critics say it’s racial profiling. Most of those stopped are black and Hispanic men.

    All these black liberals do not care a whit that their own people – innocent mothers, children, even babies have been shot – they only care about competing with “whitey”. But they cannot compete with whitey in New York because the jails are filled mostly with blacks and hispanics. Whitey does not shoot people out of boredom; whitey does not fill his time running with gangs in the streets and trying to show how tough he is; whitey is not influenced by gangsta rap into committing crimes; And whitey does not have trifling regard for human life. Blacks cannot reconcile whether they would rather have their innocent people continue to live or live with the slight indignity of having their youth harmlessly frisked. Only the good blacks will admit the truth, and unfortunately New York City does not have too many of them. Evil has taken over New York City, and evil is pushing for more random gun violence. This is why this placed was cursed with a 9/11. I hope that some of these black liberals experience the same gun violence which they are wishing on others.

    #3 cannot distinguish between truth referencing and racist commenting because he probably has never had an original thought in his life. So sad.
