It does directly address the topic being discussed. That was her justification, in her own words, for him stealing from others.

It's not just a few criminals amongst them taking advantage of these situations and using them as cover for looting and pillaging. Basically, the poor feel that they have nothing, so it's okay to break someone else's possession. And it's why poor neighborhoods look so broken and rundown and with trash everywhere on the streets. They just don't care.

And it's why it's a bad idea to try to integrate poor families into richer ones with Section 8 programs. The chronically poor people's low values and morals just bring everyone around them down into the gutter with them.
I agree with you on this one. If I remember correctly, you're Asian. Nevertheless, you're right on point on this.

total arrest
whites: 5.7 mill
Blacks: 2.1 mill

Black folk had more murders and robberies in 2015.

BUT EVERY THING ELSE?

White folks, you win at things like:
rape
aggravated assault
larceny
theft
arson
weapons
sexual assault
prostitution
stolen property
drug abuse violation? wow.. 307K white folks while only 11K black folk.. hmm?

sheez.. who woulda thunk it?

I guess it's time to lock this thread now that it shows the truth.
Nope. Look at the percent distribution columns. Blacks are more highly over-represented than Whites given each group's percentage of the US population.

The topic is the fact that the link the OP posted has a false statement in saying violent crime is not higher among blacks.

Stealing, her words, how she speaks have nothing to do with that.

It's both. They don't get it AND they don't care.

Anyone else notice there are rarely threads started about pervasive problems in other "minority" neighborhoods. I mean, c'mon, no discussion about predominantly Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Russian, Jewish, or Asian communities? There is no perfect community, but it is obvious those other minority communities find a way to behave themselves. If they didn't, they would surely be a daily topic on CD.

That happens all the time. Do you see me complaining about it? No. The goober said what they said.

That's why it's hard to have discussions like these because someone, like yourself, will always revert to mass distortions that have no credibility. BLM have not assassinated any police officers. And terrorism? What terrorism has BLM committed that you can list honestly? Are you referring to protests as terrorism? Hmm, you should check out American history and discover what real American racial terrorists groups do but BLM doesn't. They don't put on ghost costumes to insight fear in people, they don't cover their heads and march with fire torches, they don't go into neighborhoods burning crosses, burning down churches, nor bombing White churches, or lynching people of any race.

Why do you feel conservatives despise minorities? Who got you to believe that nonsense? Someone did you a grave injustice.
