  2. I listen to Hannity because I'm not interested in the Ramsey woe-is-me or humble-brag stories for 3 hours. However, it's ridiculous to hear Hannity go on and on and on for at least an hour tripping all over himself to say ghettos are just as safe as the most upscale rich 'hood, and that young black men are NOT in fact responsible for nearly 90% of all crime and that young, old, white, black, and other minorities all commit crime at completely equal rates. He does this JUST to be on the opposite side of Bloomberg. Geez Hannity, just shut your trap already. Let the SJWs hoist him by his own petard without you being rope-a-doped into becoming a nonsensical SJW by their internal wrangling. Bloomberg while generally a POS was NOT wrong in those tapes.
