Bloomberg Embroiled in “Racist Comments”

Question for you;  can facts be “racist”?  If you report a fact like, “70% of all black babies born in America are born out of wedlock.”  Is that racist?  How about “15% of the city is black people but they commit 75% of the violent crime.”  Is that racist or is it just a fact being reported.  Presidential hopeful Bloomberg may be in trouble if the MSM starts replaying his comments from 5 years ago.

In remarks to the Aspen Institute in Colorado on 5 February 2015, Mr Bloomberg is heard saying: "It's controversial, but first thing is, all of your - 95% percent of your murders, murderers and murder victims, fit one M.O. [method of operation]

"You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass out to all the cops. They are male minorities, 15 to 25. That's true in New York. 

"It's true in virtually every city. And that's where the real crime is. You've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed."

He added: "Put those cops where the crime is, which is in the minority neighbourhoods. So this is - one of the unintended consequences is, people say, 'Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.' Yes, that's true. Why?

"Because we put all the cops in the minority neighbourhoods. Yes, that's true. Why do we do it? Because that's where all the crime is."

He continued: "And the way you get the guns out of the kids' hands is to throw them against the wall and frisk them."

According to the Aspen Times newspaper, Mr Bloomberg's aides had asked journalists not to air footage of his remarks.
