[quote=Anonymous]There were never 400+ black kids in any year in the 90s or ever "walking home" from their schools anywhere in the city and "getting murdered." There were 400+ homicides in DC in each of the years 1989-96, at the height of the crack epidemic. In the worst of those years, 120 victims were children between 5 and 19. The overwhelming majority of those (113) were aged 15-19 and 97 percent were black. There was a similar explosion of homicides in many other American cities during this time period because of the crack epidemic. If we're going to have this discussion, we should base it it on the facts. And the question should be: should the federal government have send troops into American cities at the height of the crack epidemic and was it racist not to do so? [/quote]
