Most of Chinatown in NYC is in poverty too but hosts an elementary school with the third highest test scores in the city. The elite high schools in NYC are disproportinately Asian and many come from homes where English is not even spoken.

Stop with the excuses.

I agree with you on this post,but black culture has nothing to do with it...thug mentality is the root cause and it knows no racial boundary.

If every law abiding citizen could carry concealed and every state had a no retreat law then that "thug mentality" would be eradicated in extremely short order.

I feel comfortable saying there is trouble with urban young black males throughout this country. Whenever I see a video it is these inner city thugs who are front and center.

. I still have not seen that video posted on this forum of these thug crap whites pounding the hell out of a homeless guy a few days ago, yet those same posters would run to throw that video up if it was a black guy doing it. I don't play that game, I call out both sides like I said.
True, and I think most of these white youths are heavely influenced by the ghetto black culture and their garbage music.They are wanna be's.

Stop with the excuses.
you came at me with that number awhile ago about half of murders being from blacks and came back at you saying the murder rate is small and that your running with the 50 percent number to intentionally distort it and make it seem like a nationwide problem. white supremacists love the 12 percent and 50 number.

the problem with that logic is there were only 18,000 murders in 2010. so 9,000 of the 18,000 murders were from blacks.

what you try to do is convince people that half of blacks comited murder in 2010, by running with the 12 and 50 numbers.

the truth is murder is rare, and yea, the majority of people who do it are black. the question is does something that rarely happens indite a large group of people.

you distort stats to make it look way worse then it is. in actual reality 0.000225 percent of blacks killed somebody in 2011.

Maybe the question should be, why? Is this a group of people who are satisfied living on the entitlement dollar?

The only people who would be confused are those who are mathematically challenged. Where from my statement one conclude that half of all Blacks commit murder?

Blacks only make up 12% of the population. All things being equal Blacks should only be responsible for around 12% of this country's murders not 50%.

I do want to go to a rap concert and I like Drake stuff(I been following him since he was underground and was on the Canadian Teen show Degrassi) and some of Lil Wayne stuff, but melees like this is what I'm afraid of and I been in a sitiuation where I was mugged/cheap shot when I was 14 in a dimmed room at a skating rink by 1-3 black thugs and he/they ran. Like you, I have said the same thing, in my head and around other black people who have come that thought. In any music event, I rather attend to a music event(whether it's at the mall or traditional concert) where there is a diverse crowd because it feels like in mostly young black crowds, the atmosphere gives off the vibe that something is bound to happen and it is going to be ugly. We can be on the defensive and say ''white and Asian-American people do it too'', which is true, but the frequency of them acting a fool and causing mayhem at what's suppose to be an enjoyable time, is lower.

You got a white down in Florida about to get gassed for hogtieing a black and killing him. Did that wake you up?

Crime happens, we can review it and try to understand why, but its always going to be around, regardless of race.


Would you have posted the thread if a bunch of white teenage girls caused the same thing to happen over Justin Bieber in another large mall??
