Why arent "African Americans" the primary targets of getting hit in the "Knockout Game"?
Seems to be a popular game, but every time its on the news, its always a white, Asian or Hispanic person who is the target. Why is that?

13 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhy didn't the government open a "Civil Rights" case for my parent almost 2 years ago?
My parents house was broken into, and the suspects were caught and convicted. all 3 of them were African-American males. And during the court testimony (and its also on the transcript), They stated they targeted my parents house "Cause they was Asian... and Asians have the money"...
So why wasn't a case opened? They testified that they targeted them strictly on race.... Why are their no rallies? Where is the media? Why wasn't Sharpton and Jackson screaming?
10 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhy did Blacks vote almost 90% for Obama over H. Clinton in the 2007 Primairies?
In the 2007 Democratic Primaires, B. Obama won over fellow Democrat H. Clinton due to the huge support of the black vote.
Why did Black people vote overwhelmingly for Obama by almost 90% of the black vote going to him. While White, Hispanic and Asian voted close to 50/50 for either candidate?
Both were Democrat.
Both had similar views on healthcare.
Both were running on the same issues.
So why such a huge swing for Obama with the Black vote.. While all the other races voted almost 50/50?
14 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWould the Rich be rich again in 10 years, and the poor, poor again if we redistributed?
If tomorrow morning, all of the wealth was evenly distributed equally among every legal citizen 18 and over in the United states...... In 10 years... would those rich people who gave up the most be rich again, and the poor who received the most, back to being poor again?
I think it would end up right where we are now, probably in a lot less then 5 years. The rich are rich because they are smart with money and know what to do with it and make better choises. Then the poor would I assume blow it all in a matter of a couple of years, without thinking about the future.
What do you think?
14 AnswersPolitics8 years agoIs Obamacare a failure now that the GAO report points to Obamacare ‘rate shock’?
http://washingtonexaminer.com/gao-report-points-to...
A new report from the Government Accountability Office detailing insurance premiums paid throughout the United States in 2013 provides another piece of evidence that young and healthy Americans will see their premiums soar once President Obama’s health care law kicks in next year.
Can we deem it a failure and start over with something more plausible and not filled with lies and pork?

10 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhich problem would you try to fix and protest against if you were African American?
You have 2 cash registers.
Each day dozens of dollar bills go missing from onecash register that is strictly operated by GROUP A
While once in a great while, a single dollar goes missing from the othercash register operated by GROUP B
With all of the rallying and protests going on right now, I think they are doing it against the wrong group. Shouldn't you look to a bigger problem first?
6 AnswersPolitics8 years agoIf you asked Trayvon Martin the morning before he died if he is a "Man" or a "Child"....?
What do you think he would consider himself?
Most people who think he was murdered in cold blood classify him as a child.... but his actions, text, testimony from those that knew him point to the fact that he considered himself a man.
So would he say he is a child?? Or would he say he is a man??
10 AnswersPolitics8 years agoI just don't get how 1 person killing another person of a different race gets so much attention?
But its not a big deal when that race kills its own 1000 times more... and it doesn't even get a second thought.
Makes absolutely no sense to me.
That's like having all of your fingers (except your little finger, its perfectly fine) cut open, infected and bleeding everyday and don't do or think anything about it. BUT, when you get a hang-nail on your little finger you go running and screaming to the emergency room.

16 AnswersPolitics8 years agoDo you agree that the reason we are in this "Mess" in America, is cause the politcians want us to be?
Why do people fall for the Republican and Democrat parties?
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
3 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhy did Michelle Obamas great great great great gandma get a monument? Who paid for it?
So what did her great great great great great grandmother accomplish to get a section of property with a monument on it?? And who paid the bill for the land and monument?
http://news.yahoo.com/monument-michelle-obama-ance...
REX, Ga. (AP) — Police in Georgia are investigating after a monument dedicated to one of first lady Michelle Obama's relatives was knocked over in suburban Atlanta.
Clayton County Commissioner Sonna Singleton tells WSB-TV (http://bit.ly/190XEEv ) that a stone monument to Michelle Obama's great-great-great-grandmother, Melvinia Shields, was pushed over and will need to be inspected for cracks. The report was aired Monday.
Officials say Shields was born into slavery in the mid-1800s and later settled in Rex, Ga., — about 15 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.
Officials say the monument was installed about a year ago, and the county commission organized a celebration later this month to recognize Shields' connection to the White House.
It wasn't immediately clear when the monument was toppled.
