There's absolutely no good reason why blacks in Canada should be so ghetto and be so violent yet somehow they are. Please explain why to me?
I'll field this one, based on experience. Blacks in Canada, despite lack of slavery or oppression historically, have somehow been brainwashed into believing they're being held down by whitey.
TV perhaps?

Ask yourself this. Why do so many Black kids in the USA internalize violent rap music? I have to ask that question because the behavior you speak of probably has alot to do with the violent side of hip-hop culture surfacing in Canada. Why is it that mainly Black kids internalize it, or poor kids in any community?

And you've mentioned the "parents". Consider this. I say when there is a father in the house, things are usually much better, in terms of discipline. Ever notice that it isn't so much "parents don't care", but rather, kids are being raised with no father in the house. Chances are, Blacks who grew up with BOTH parents at home probably have a much better chance of turning out better.

Or perhaps there has been a history of discrimination against Blacks in Canada. Not to the level as in the USA, but it still happens. And if it had been to the same levels as in the USA, things would probably be much worse than they are now. Chances are, Canada's Black population has lower levels of violence than the USA's Black population.

There is no history of it here. Put aside your assumptions.
If anything, the black man has an advantage here, since he has all sorts of programs that favour him over evil whitey.

There has been a history of it in Canada. I've done my research. Notice I said "not to the level of the USA". Discrimination still took place. It still happens now.

Can you come up with anything on discrimination in the USA as well as Canada?

I'll tell you this much. Blacks have it far better in Canada than likely anywhere else on earth.
Where else would the majority (whites in this case) be so accommodating to a minority group, while providing a first-world living experience?
Despite this, you still have blacks wailing about how they're getting the short end of the stick.

Look, I never said it was the worst place in the world. I said there is still discrimination taking place. Affirmative action exists in the USA. It doesn't stop some employers from discriminating against those of a different ethnicity. Same goes anywhere.

I will be happy where there is ZERO discrimination. Go find something stating that there is absolutely ZERO discrimination.

Discrimination will never end. This is why I think it's a good idea for the races to separate to their own homelands. That would end it.
