        How about blacks killing other blacks unjustly or kill police officers who are just doing their jobs? Or the whites killed by black gangs?

        Most of those crimes are committed by poverty stricken individuals. It has more to do with socioeconomics than race .

        I certainly agree with you there! The #DNC has been screwing over the inner cities and African American community for quite some time now.

        It is my hope that in the next few years the situation for those living in impoverished areas, not just the US either, will see improvement.

        That's also a result Republican policies like Regan's war on drugs.

        It started with Democrat FDR in 1930. The "New Deal" kicked off mass government subsidies like welfare, used mostly by AfrAmer.

        I stopped watching after she mispronounced "Catalina." Sorry chums, I have to get back to my Whites Only (is there ANY other kind?) Regatta!

        She chooses a sail boat analogy for Older White Americans? Seems stereotypical to me to assume that fancy boats make them more "comfortable"

        A corvette based analogy would have been more appropriate. My grandparents feel so misunderstood.

        Not bad. But add Christopher Cross's "Sailing" as a soundtrack and it's the funniest video in internet history.

        A bit disingenuous, considering the most bigoted white people are poor, uneducated whites who have never sat foot on a sailboat.
