The spectrum of political discourse in the black community is at least as diverse as it is in other parts of American society.

YMMV.
As for posts #125 and #126, in the aftermath of Newtown, Latinos have raised the argument that mass shootings in America are most often perpetuated by Anglos. They assert that it is the distinct culture of whites that accounts for the violence.
How about that.
