I wouldn't normally post DD, but he says the police at dallas were ordered to not where protective vests...
I believe he is also a democrat.....You sure don't see our fellow black posters commenting on this. David Clark is an American first and a black second. Which is what we all should be....Americans first.
This guy gets it and why Mrs. Tuzla Clinton continues to blame white people.

Does this high profile politician have the "wrong" perspective:
While people mourn the black lives killed by police and police killed at the Dallas shooting Thursday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) acknowledged that he, like other white Americans, simply can’t understand what it feels like to be black in America and live with a persistent fear of violence.
"It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years, to get a sense of this: If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don't understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk," he said during a CNN interview Friday.
Gingrich is right.
A recent Pew Research Center report found that black and white Americans views are largely worlds apart today. White Americans were evenly split on the state of race relations today: 46 percent say things are good, but 45 percent also say things are bad. By contrast, 61 percent of African Americans believe race relations are bad.
While a 2015 report by the National Bar Association, the oldest and largest predominantly black lawyer organization in the country, found that most black and white Americans agree that police treat black people differently — 88 percent and 59 percent, respectively — the stark difference in the degree to which these attitudes are shared across racial lines is telling.
For most African Americans, whether policing practices are racist is not a question. By contrast, a substantial number of white people still aren't convinced.
In a review of FBI data, Vox’s Dara Lind found that law enforcement officers in the US kill black people at disproportionate rates. In 2012, African Americans accounted for 31 percent of victims killed by cops despite comprising only 13 percent of the population. According to ProPublica, black teens were 21 times more likely to be killed by police officers between 2010 and 2012 than their white counterparts.
"It is more dangerous to be black in America," Gingrich said. "It is more dangerous in that they are substantially more likely to end up in a situation where the police don't respect you and you could easily get killed. And sometimes for whites it’s difficult to appreciate how real that is and how it's an everyday danger."

Yep real black men follow me their democrat masters, just like the olden daysBlacks think he is an Uncle Tom, thanks to our POTUS and his racial divisiveness.

Wouldn't be surprised if it were true but I'd like to see it from another source to verify.

Yes, he got it wrong. As long as our perceptions are our reality nothing is going to improve. Yes, the black population in the US is about 13 percent. But in major urban areas that percentage goes up to over 30 percent.
Chicago for example is at 32 percent black.
Using this site for the information, in Chicago:
Victims by race:
Offenders by Race:
Chicago: 75% of Murdered are Black, 71% of Murderers are Black
Now I need someone to tell me how being white effects these numbers? Maybe white people totally hate those of color, not that they do, how does that effect what is going on in the black community?
Who is going to effect change in the black community, whites or blacks? The liberal argument put forth by Mrs. Tuzla is that this is just an understanding problem, by whites. That somehow if white people just love just a little bit more things will be better. This from a woman that called urban poor, code for black, super predators.
No one has of yet explained to me how five white men being murdered at a black protest by a black man hiding in ambush is caused by those white men.
People like Newt and Mrs Tuzla are taking the easy route. Blame whites instead of exploring the real problem with everyone in the country. Such as lack of real opportunity.
So yeah, Newt is full of it and I rather listen to a black man tell me what the truth is about black culture.
