Black people are just different. They are different with regards to behavior, sense of aesthetics, crime rates and pretty much any other measure that can we can use. Those differences are the source of of racial problems in America. That difference will not go away any time soon.

However, I still believe black people are slowly... slowly working their way out of this. We need someone to give us a good push. It could have been Obama, but he wants blacks to march and protest and cause chaos. He is gaining alliances with Iran and Cuba... how about helping lower income blacks in this country?
Staunching the flow of illegal immigration would've done a lot to help that, but neither party is willing.

Interesting comment. Our neighbors to the north do not seem to have the same racial problems as we do.

Correct. They have mostly Asians as part of their "visible minorities" and not too many Blacks. And it creates this weird phenomenon among Canadians, where they see minorities (meaning Asians) doing well in their society and then they look to the US and wonder why there are so many problems, as if all minorities were just the same.

Just forget about the carrot approach doing anything to help with the HUGE problem of
Blacks OOW-birthrates.

The government has enabled Women to irresponsibly have kids....Fedgov will support that "family". And no, this policy is NOT going to change any time in the foreseeable future.

truth is

everybody is in there own lil bubble world

life experience is so drastically different from one person to the next that it is difficult to comprehend certain things you hear from others

you almost cant blame people for their views and outlook on things/life.. they only know what they know and they know this based on their own personal life experience

when it comes to politics i tend to laugh when i see grown folks arguing over politicians or political parties

1) because it's FAKE

2) because you are trying to convince other grown folks to see things your way when there mind is already made up. again, people are so different because of how they came up and what they been through that it is pointless to try and convince them of something that they litteraly cant comprehend

O'Reilly on America's Race Problem | CNS News
Bill O, is Harvard educated. That means he probably has a fairly high IQ. Thus, when a person with a fairly high IQ, who has full access to information and data, come to such flawed conclusions concerning race, one has to assume that he has selection bias and that the selection bias is born from racial bias.

Here is my point. In 1960, 2.3% of whites were born out of wedlock (OOW), while 23% of blacks were born out of wedlock. Today, about 27% of white children are born OOW, while 73% of blacks are. Now, I did not go to Harvard, but if OOW births are strongly correlated with rates of crime and violence, then should not white rates of homicide by only 3 times less than blacks rather than 10 times less? In other words, white OOW births are 10 times greater than they were in 1960.......thus....has there been a significant rise in the rate of homicides among whites since 1960? I do not know the statistic right off hand, but I dare say that there has been no significant increase in the rate of white homicides, the last 50 years, despite an over 1,000% increase in the rate of OOW births among whites. Thus, why would the rise of OOW births among blacks lead to so much violence but OOW births not do the same for whites? Furthermore, black homicides rates have actually been falling over the last 20 years, while OOW births have increased.

When intelligent people consistently use flawed reasoning when the issue is race......it's because they are intellectually constipated by prejudice.

Look at this chart of white homicides that trends inversely with the rise of OOW birth rates for whites.

Bill O'Rielly is arguing that black violence is directly correlated with OOW Births. In other words, his proposition is that OWW births lead to increased rates of homicide. Yet, these graphs CLEARLY demonstrate that there is an INVERSE relationship between white rates of homicide and the white rate of OOW births. In other words, while the homicide rate was going down for whites, the OOW birth rate was going up. If OOW births are inversely related to homicide rates for whites, why would they be directly related to rates of homicides for blacks? I will tell you why. Because Bill O, and those who think the same way.....ARE RACIST!!!!!

LOL! You ended a really good rebuttal of the OP with such a silly statement, that I question if you even wrote what came prior.

The truth is people like O'Reilly try to make excuses for Black misbehavior, while still holding them accountable. They do this because the alternative explanation is something that he doesn't find palatable - which is that Black people are just inherently different. True, you will probably rebut with: slavery, Jim Crow, White racism or some other nonsense, but mainstream conservatives don't even consider those a probable option.

So the ideal that a person demonstrates symptoms of being a racist is "silly" and you think the flaw in his reasoning is simply that he fails to understand that black people are just "Different"? WTF If I may ask, does this "difference" manifest in blacks being more violent than whites? I will not call you a racist....but here is the definition: See if your glove fits


racism

noun
1.
a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
