I was waiting for one of these to show up. Instead of acknowledging that there is a problem, you try your hardest find other people doing bad things, as if that somehow erases all of the facts.
Perhaps offensive to YOU, but it's the truth and NOT false based on many decades of firsthand observations at work, living in poorer neighborhoods when I was just out of college, stories from black co-workers about their neighborhoods (them nicknaming Mattapan "Murderpan", and watching footage/reading about riots in LA after Rodney King, the Oakland riot, and riots in recents years whenever the black community is upset.
You know how it goes for those who love to virtue signal. No real world exposure to the very things they argue against.
I began life in Northwest Washington, D.C. I remember coming across people who took great pride in how dangerous their neighborhood was, e.g. Southeast D.C., and would threaten you if you weren't from the area. Uptown n*ggas best stay away.
I've been to various rural parts of a few states (majority poor/working class whites) and while I was at a heightened level of awareness due to my fear of the stereotypical "racist redneck," I never feared for my life the same way as when traveling through poor black areas in the inner city.
In fact, black people who live in the country are much more laid back and friendly, really good people. It's a shame.
You then have to ask how it got to the point. What changed in the black community over the years that would spark that mindset. It didn't just happen overnight.

no. It's not just the crime statistics. But poor people, black and hispanic people are much quicker to throw adult tantrums that result in "peaceful protests" turning quickly into physical actions that result in riots of fisticuffs, rock throwing and damage to innocent people's cars and storefronts. 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.
May I please ask where did you find the above stats(FAKE).
I know people who have less, good citizens they care about community.
She's talking about violence and violent crimes, though. Nobody is saying crime doesn't exist among all groups.
And I agree most of it is due to gang activity, but some of it in poorer areas is also due to a gang mentality among those who aren't in a gang.
I am agreeing, with you. Blacks in America commit a higher amount of crime per capita. Now that we have this point what is the point of this thread? Their isn't going to be a real discussion unless this is hear simply just to shame a person that said something without knowing the stats in the first place. This thread by it's nature is bound to be an echo chamber were the usual suspects (I don't include you in that list but you likely know who I mean), will post things like "dindu nuffin", "blacks are violent", "we wuz kangz and sheet" etcetera. For about 20 pages till they realize it's only them and a few who don't know the stats about crime will argue.

Yep - I understood you were agreeing. I think the point was to argue the false statement.
Unfortunately, threads like this bring out the racists.
I just saw that post stating:
Quote:
"He didun do nuffin. He just tryin to git money for clothes for school."
Siiiiigggghhhhhh..... WHY do some posters here think that makes anyone but them look bad? Sheer ignorance.
There are uneducated pockets of people among all ethnicities and races. Mocking the undeducated or holding them up as the litmus test for the entire group is far more ignorant than not speaking the language properly, in my opinion.
We're not all born with a level playing field, people.

I agree with this.
My future brother-in-law is a black guy, well, he will be the first black man in my family. I love him, that is all I have to know. He is handsome ( yes, this matters to me, lol), responsible, educated, and loving.

Yes to both. I live in a majority black town and most of the people I encounter are friendly. If I have a need to go to a certain part of town because that's where Sam's is, I encounter more people who look at me in hate (or completely ignore me) just because I am white. "Get out the hood, B****."
My in-laws live out in the country and their neighbors of all colors are simply lovely. Out there people help one another, because they have to, to survive.
I think we are who we are through experiences. I have been saved TWICE by black men and black people have never done anything to me. So no, I don't think you can paint the entire group with one broad brush.
