Bloomberg is lying ? .. Even majority whites neighborhoods black folks are stopped more than whites.. So white are being stopped too much...
Appearing with host John Gambling on New York City’s WOR, Mayor Mike Bloomberg attacked opponents of the city’s so-called ‘stop and frisk’ program. “It’s society’s job to make sure that no one group is disproportionately represented as potential perpetrators,” Bloomberg said. “I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.”
“Most crimes in our city – serious crimes – are committed by male, minorities 15 -25,” Bloomberg told Gambling. “When it comes to policing, the police have to be able to go out and stop, look for, those that fit the description of a witness or a victim after a crime.”
He said that if the NYPD was unable to do that, they would be turning “over the streets to the criminals.”
“Cop’s job is to stop so many of groups fitting a description,” Bloomberg declared. “”It’s society’s job to make sure that no one group is disproportionately represented as potential perpetrators.”
The Mayor said that the program has reduced the number of guns on the streets because young gun owners think they are going to be stopped and searched for weapons.
“I thought, actually, [New York City Comptroller] Bill Thompson said it pretty well, he said ‘I don’t like stop and frisk, but I want my kid to live,’” Bloomberg asserted.
He said that the murder rate has dropped precipitously in the city as a result of this program. “To sit there and say, ‘Well, let’s run the social experiment, okay? Let’s stop these things and see if the it goes up. I don’t think it will,’” Bloomberg said. “What will you say to the parents of the kids that are murdered?”
"There is this business, there’s one newspaper and one news service, they just keep saying, ‘Oh it’s a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group. That may be, but it’s not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder. In that case, incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little."

thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/06/28/2231761/mayor-bloomberg-nypd-stop-whites-too-much-and-minorities-too-little/?mobile=wtBloomberg was echoing a similar argument made by the city’s lawyer last month during closing arguments in the civil suit brought against the NYPD and the Bloomberg administration. But the judge in the case called that rationale a “worrisome argument,” and civil rights groups have argued that the city’s stop-and-frisk program is unconstitutional. The U.S. Department of Justice has said that if the judge rules against the NYPD, they would seek to install an independent monitor to oversee the police department.
The statistics are overwhelming. An independent study of the city’s stop-and-frisk program found that 87 percent of the 685,724 stops in 2011 — a record high — were of blacks and latinos. Young black men between the ages of 14 and 24 were stopped 106% of the time — as in, there were more stops of young black men than the entire population of young black men.
The evidence does not support Bloomberg’s claim that stopping more minorities will lower the city’s crime rate. Stop-and-frisk had a 90 percent failure rate in 2011, and in the first three months of 2013, when the number of stops fell by 51 percent from the same period last year, the crime rate dropped as well.
And contrary to Bloomberg’s assertion that the NYPD stops too many white people, a study by the city’s own Public Advocate found that stops of white people were twice as likely to yield a weapon, and a third more likely to yield some form of contraband as compared to stops of black people. -

It's impossible for Bloomberg to be a racist, he's friends with Jay-Z.
Jay Z
Artist and entrepreneur, 42
By Michael Bloomberg April 18, 2013
Jay Z embodies so much of what makes New York New York. A kid from a tough neighborhood who grows up in public housing, overcomes lots of bad influences on the street, never lets go of his dream, makes it to the top — and then keeps going, pursuing new outlets for his creativity and ambition. When no one would sign him to a record contract, he created his own label and built a music empire — before going on to design clothing lines, open sports bars and, most recently, represent professional athletes. He’s an artist-entrepreneur who stands at the center of culture and commerce in 21st century America, and his influence stretches across races, religions and regions. He’s never forgotten his roots — “Empire State of Mind” was a love song to our city — and as a co-owner of the NBA Nets, he helped bring a major league sports team back to Brooklyn, not far from his old neighborhood. In nearly everything he’s tried, he’s found success. (He even put a ring on Beyoncé.) And in doing so, he’s proved that the American Dream is alive and well.
Bloomberg is the 108th mayor of New York City

See.
Why would a person who harbors racist views write something so glowing about a black person?
He is what he is. -
He wrote something glowing about a rich person....a rich person who can be the minority face on initiatives he wants to move...what you like 15 years old or something

Apparently to Bloomberg and his constituents 87% isn't enough. More people of color need to be stopped, frisked, imprisoned, and destroyed; physically, mentally or both. Then the American streets will be a safe.
Just ask Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, Reagan, Daryl Gates, etc... -
full racist...
