Talk-show host, attorney, and best-selling author Larry Elder said the breakdown of the family -- fatherless families -- is the number one problem in America, not racism or discrimination or bad cops. He added that when it comes to murder, nearly half of the homicides each year are black-on-black killings.

Commenting on The Rubin Report, Larry Elder said there is a liberal agenda at work and "the goal is to tell black people that we’re victims, that discrimination, racism remain major problems in America when, in fact, they don’t. And they want black people to vote for the Democratic Party."

"The Democratic Party gets 95% of the black vote, and the reason they get it is blacks are convinced that the number one issue facing the country is social justice, racist white cops, discrimination, systemic racism, micro-aggression – whatever new word they come up with – and it’s a bunch of nonsense," he said.

“The number one problem domestically facing this country is the breakdown of the family," said Elder. "And President Obama said it, I didn’t. A kid raised without a dad is five times more likely to be poor and commit crimes; nine times more likely to drop out of school; and 20 times more likely to end up in jail."

"So, you’re far more likely to end up in jail without having a dad, than you are because of a white racist cop," said Elder.

When host Dave Rubin brought up the issue of "systemic" discrimination against blacks, Elder repeatedly asked him to provide a specific example. “Give me the most blatant racist example you can come up with right now," he said.

Rubin then said, "I think you could probably find evidence that, in general, cops are more willing to shoot if the perpetrator is black than white.”

Elder said, “What’s your data, what’s your basis for saying that? I’m talking about what the facts are. Nine hundred sixty-five people were shot by cops last year and killed. Four percent of them were white cops shooting unarmed blacks. In Chicago, in 2011, 21 people were shot and killed by cops. In 2015, there were seven."

"In Chicago, which is a third black, a third white, a third Hispanic, 70% of the homicides are black on black – about 40 per month, almost 50 per year – last year in Chicago and 75% of them are unsolved," he said. "Where is Black Lives Matter on that?"

“The idea that a racist white cop shooting unarmed black people is a peril to black people is BS," said Elder. "It’s complete and total BS. And the reason for these so-called activists saying this is the assumption that racism remains a major problem in America, and the media, CNN and especially MSNBC, runs down whenever a black cop shoots somebody, and it’s [then] some march in Washington. It’s ridiculous."

"Half the homicides in this country are committed by and against black people," said Elder. "Last year there were 14,000 homicides – not talking about suicides, I’m talking about homicides -- half of them were black [and] 96% of them were black on black of that 7,000. Where’s the Black Lives Matter on that?”
