@matrix Its almost like living in a society that treats you unfairly, makes it harder to be financially successful, and causes you to be likely to be born into a life of poverty might possibly influence a persons perpencity towards crime.... who wulda thunk.
How would that be putting my money where my mouth is? You seem to be having a real hard time with reading comprehension or something, it almost sounds likeyou think I said (which I didnt) that blacks dont make up a large portion of those committing crime? In fact since the get go I admitted that they do.
Try reading things before you post, if you already are then read them twice because you seem to be having some difficulty absorbing what you read accurately.
@StroopWaffen While not specific to those neighboorhoods I already do volunteer in high-crime high-black neighborhoods. They have mostly embraced me with open arms as you suggest.
@StroopWaffen There are many factors. Black communities internally certainly have things they are doing that arent helping that should be addressed. There are also outside factors that need addressing. Then there are the historic ones. Despite what either side will tell you the problem is very complex and while racism towards blacks is an element it is far from the only element at play. A lot of things need to come together from a lot of angles to improve the conditions of any culture.
The future of black communities is uncertain honestly. Internally there are people trying to make positive change, and there are externally too. But the problem is reduced by politics and being politically correct to such an extreme degree that it becomes impossible to really carve out effective solutions, our hands are tied by politically correctness as well as a rejection of the problem even existing, and many other factors. It is hard to address the internal changes blacks need to made without being called a racist, for example, as if it is blaming them for the problem. But also whites tend to refuse to address the racism they impart because at the same time they feel like it is blamming them for the problem. So nothing gets done.
If we stopped arguing about who is to blame (which is all anyone did in this thread) and focus on how to solve the problem without regard to blame we could really make some progress. But society doesnt allow this and the direction its going is farther away from this state.
So... yea, things will probably get worse before they get better when it comes to racial issues.
Sure, how about they stop murdering white people if white cops agree to stop suffocating blacks to death for non-violent victimless crimes? Cant have white cops choking a black dude for death, for up to 4 minutes after the dude already died and told he is dead STILL choking him, and then expect blacks to play along.
Works both ways, if you cant admit your contribution to the problem and commit to fixing it then you cant expect them to admit to their contribution or commit to fixing it. Luckily there are some people on both side who arent so naive and are trying to address both these things.
Welcome to the mute list for adding no value other than trolling.
Thanks for playing.
@StroopWaffen Most black countries were literally owned by white countries and abused for most of history until only very recently. In fact if you take a casual look at the GDP of various african nations you can easily spot a pattern where the nations that remained largely independent have a higher GDP than nations that were once ruled by white conquering nations and only later allowed to be free (after having much of their resources and culture stripped). This is hardly a coincidence.
Its really idiotic to describe Africans as primitive and aggressive when whites were the overwhelming majority of nations that abused tortured the black nations throughout history (yes it goes both ways but to a much lesser extent)... then having the gaull to say "see all these nations we used to own and treated cruelly, look how primitive they are, clearly black people have issues".
@StroopWaffen You do realize the African country with the highest homicide rate is also the african country with the highest percentage of white population right?
You really should actually look at the statistics before you make them up.
@StroopWaffen As with most things, it isnt that simple. But you made an assertion, and that assertion is wrong. You claimed black people have the highest violence rate and yet the opposite is true, the country in africa with the largest number of **white** people has the highest murders and the country with the lowest portion of white people have the least murders. Literally you said a statistical observation where the opposite is true.
Now if you want to try to backpeddle and claim the opposite statistics still happen to make the same point for you that you thought they were making when it was reversed, go for it... but that tells me you arent working off the evidence at all, you already decided your conclusion and are instead trying to get the evidence to fit your answer.
@StroopWaffen I wouldnt make that claim. this is **your** logical framework. You claimed that more blacks = more violence and more whites = less violence, not me. I just happened to show that whether you beleived the data was what it really was or the exact opposite that in both cases you tried to weave an explanation that justified your conclusion either way. Showing you arent actually reasoning about your conclusion at all, you are trying desperately to cherry pick data to fit it (and failing).
