Why is there so much crime in Georgia? There is even crime in small cities, I just don't get it.

Poverty = crime. An internationally recognized equation.

I call BS. Racism is not the cause of this. It is a cultural issue that blacks are incarcerated more...Go to a community event in a black area in the south and learn something! I have been to a funeral of a 13yo killed by gun violence and there were no less than 100 other youths in the church during the funeral wearing gang colors and beads. Not one word was said and nobody confronted them. I have been to a back to school event for k-12 students in an inner city area where "dont hide that p____y, divide that p_______" and "blame it on the alcohol" were played by the dj. There is no way in heck either of these would have been accepted in a non majority poor and black area. Ghetto black culture has lost their moral compass and educated blacks have generally run away from them and if whites even comment, they are racist. That is the real issue.

Instead of addressing the above elephant in the room, people would rather blame racism...Nonsense.

The question asked was "why is there so much crime in Georgia" not "why does a certain demographic make up a large percentage" of the prison population" so not sure I get the point you're making. Are you saying that minorities are poorer, therefore they commit more crime?

Demographics? That doesn't hold much weight in Georgia compared to other southern cities.

Most violent crime, even in GA, is confined to specific areas and/or related to domestic disputes. Totally random crime isn't all that common anywhere in the U.S.
