So blacks are killing people in Baltimore at ten times the rate of any other race or culture bc there are people from many different cultures? All the murders in Chicago, Detroit, Camden, Philly, Baltimore all seem to have one culture in common
Oh sure they have one culture in common lol.
It seems what your trying to say is that they have an inferior culture. Also, all of these places don't have poor blacks, they also have poor Latinos and immigrants.
True for blacks, but you are on shakier ground claiming that Hispanics are more violent than poor whites.
There is no good evidence that out of wedlock births or urban living cause violent behavoir. The white American homicide rate has dropped as the OOW birth rate has increased, and many very crowded Asian cities are not particularly violent.
The worlds most dangerous cities are in Latin America.
One third of the worlds homicides occur in Latin America despite Latin Americans being 8% of the world's population.
Would you overlook this fact when discussing urban crime throughout the U.S. and on a global scale?
Really, if you look at the data on US homicide rates, they doubled from 1960 to 1970. There has not been a constant rate of black homicides, but a fluctuating rate. My theory is that the Vietnam war era and a host of other movements in the 60's increased violence.
The 60's was an era of war and rebellion. It was an era of radical changes in America....and war. The system was under threat and pressure from the anti-war movement and the civil rights community and black militancy. The FBI director, J Edgar Hoover, as a result, proclaimed black militancy the number one threat to the internal security of the United States and COINTELPRO was put into place.
After that...drugs and guns flooded black communities and blacks stopped fighting the system and started killing each other. Some might call it coincidence....and some my call it a conspiracy, but it is a fact that it was not until the late 60's that black homicide rated took a crazy jump up. Then they started to drop in the 80's as heroin usage faded....then crack cocaine exploded into the black community and murder rates reached heights never seen before
It's amazing how so much of that video is relevant today. Seeking economic equality and justice, fighting police brutality, efforts by others to discredit black leader....the more things change the more they remain the same.

and do not hesitate to consider the crack cocaine explosion in inner cities of the late 70s and 80s.
This certainly contributed to the crime rate in urban centers throughout the United States of America.
It has been said that poverty creates crime. However, whites in rural, trailer park communities have nowhere near the level of violence and crime that blacks and Hispanics in the inner city do. Problems of the inner city are children born out of wedlock and raised in single parent households with absent fathers. Kids raised without fathers are likely to grow up poor, dropout of school, join gangs or sell drugs, go to prison, or become teenage parents. Is there less crime and violence because of a lower percentage of white children born out of wedlock in poor communities? Is it because rural communities are located in the middle of nowhere and sort of isolated?
Meh, whether its a trailer park somewhere in rural Appalachia or the southside of Chicago, I only know that I want to be somewhere else.

True, but its more likely you'd be shot and killed in the southside of Chicago, north side of St. Louis, anywhere in Detroit, etc.
