Amen! There is a double-standard. However, when white Americans talk about America’s problems from their point of view, they customarily employ euphemisms like ‘big government’, ’social safety net’, ‘the dependency’ on the government…! And, all of the euphemisms that they employ refer to one thing, black Americans!
An excellent defense of the truth by Father Pfleger!

It is so good when Father Pfleger speaks of Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr., Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.,and Minister Louis Farrakhan from personal knowledge!
I have had the good fortune to meet Minister Malcolm X during the night of August 28, 1963 March for Jobs and Freedom. Malcolm X explained to me that
George Washington was a revolutionary because he fought for Land and was
ready to pay with his blood. He said the French fought for Land and the price was
blood, and the Russians fought for Land and the price was blood.( He soon said
much of the same things in his Message to the Grassroots.) I asked him if I could
write what he was saying and he told me he never speaks off the record. I am
a white man and I went to the Million Man March October 16, 1995. Roger

Fr. Pfleger while addressing a crowd at a demonstration designed to put an end to a lawful fiearms dealer’s business called for an act of homicide against the dealer (”snuff out”) a affront to the law of God and a violation of the laws of the state. He was called to task by his superiors in the Church, but to date there is no record of his having apologized to the human being whose homicide he urged. Shame be upon him for this conduct.

William; twas the dealership he was (and has been) working to snuff out, not the dealer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Pfleger#cite_note-16
Don’t take things out of context.

I did not take anything out of context. When Pfleger used the “snuff out” phrase he referred to a human being and not to a business.
