Michelle Obama Talks Trash

Ok the video is incendiary.   However it does contain an important snippet.   

More trash talk from Michelle Obama, video:

MO: “As a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station.”

Points:

One, anybody can get shot gong to the gas station, and lately shocked as well.   You don’t have to be black to get shot.   In the case of the DC snippers, they shot whites.

Two, crime varies by neighborhood.   I very much doubt the Obamas live in crime infested neighborhood.   I doubt anybody has been shot in Obama’s neighbored at the gas station.

Three, in this country, crime tends to be intra racial.   That is, if Obama were to shot going to the gas station, likely it would be by a black man.

Four, a lot (most?) of black on black violence tends to drug related, turf wars.   Now, I am near certain MO is not suggesting BO is dealing street drugs.

Conclusion, there is scant evidence to suggest that BO assumes any elevated risk by just going to the gas station, aside from the hideous risk of paying too much at the pump.  Of course. like all candidates, BO does assume a risk just running for president.

Last, murder tends be intra-family.   Michelle Obama is statistically more apt to get murdered by her husband, than any particular random stranger.
