You get these savages off public assistance and they may think first about basic survival and cooperation and civility and responsibility.
Many of them don't. And their parents don't raise them to be violent. It's just the opposite.

Name an opportunity they're blocked from.

It's not that they are blocked....it's just jobs are hard to get. And living in a poor neighborhood doesn't give you many opportunities.

But some of you are bound and determined to believe things that confirm your predisposed notions no matter what the truth is.
Thanks. The truth though is irrelevant to the flow of the thread.

Then you haven't accounted for their per capita increased-likelihood for violence. Work is hard to get all over.

BS still a racist post. And I gave you no information on the actual counts as that particular affair went down.

Is there a reason why you withheld the actual counts?

How much time have you ever spent in predominantly-black urban neighborhoods? (It's rhetorical; I'm not asking for an answer to that.) Or how often have you crossed paths with violent gangs, black or white, during the 'wilding' fad of the early nineties that targeted white areas of town? How many of those packs were white?

How many white people live in neighborhoods that have no opportunity. I can't think of any, can you.

They have every opportunity. You keep refusing to justify your circular argument.

The actual count is not relevant. But I believe there were 15 or so arrests. And neither my brother or I are in that number. But that is a long and complex story that is all white guys and sheds no light on this thread.

I grew up in a neighborhood where the park was shared with a black neighborhood. Either get along or kill each other. We got along.

I also lived about 7 years as an adult in a neighborhood that was 80% or more black. Even went through a race riot on the wrong side of the police lines.

And You?
