The video is clearly a hit piece on the President (who has said very little about this, smartly and for good reason). Putting aside the politically-charged theme of the video, the facts of black on white crime vs. white on black crime can not be debated. With regards to that, I agree with what the video said.
I do not agree with the video pushing the liberal-conservative, Democrat-Republican division that we see too often in this country. Most issues should not be divided on those lines, but if you listen to our politicians and the media, you'd think all issues should be. It's all a part of the game to divide America. It's really the same thing that race-baiters like Sharpton and Jackson do all the time, just with politics.

I agree. Have no patience for the political slant types like this idiot that just want to be devisive.
The issue as you state regarding black on white (or even black on black) crime should be the one that creates outrage and inertia to solve the problem. I think thats the unfortunate issue in today's society and the media and politicians are the biggest culprits. Instead of focusing on the real important issues, the attention is on the fringe. For instance, instead of focusing on the real issues regarding gun violence, the media/politicians grandstand and accomplish nothing. Instead of focusing on what is causing this crime and addressing it, what gets all the attention? Ferguson. Nobody wants to do the hard stuff anymore....much easier to incite and report on a riot. By the way, I was flipping around the dial last night and caught Nancy Grace in the middle of this issue....now that would be a justifiable shooting!
along similar lines, i actually do agree with the common talking point (many times used by those i dont agree with on issues) of "why doesn't the media give this level of coverage to all the murders in Chicago?" While the motives behind many of those that use this are pretty transparent, it is actually a fair point and the nat'l media does deserve to get dinged for their lack of real coverage of the constant killings in Chicago, while they go overboard with the Ferguson coverage simply b/c it's flashy.
Rev Al..... you mean Obama's new BFF? Sad thing is this buffoon may very well have influence on picking the nominee for Eric Holder's replacement. He seems to have the Pres' ear.
