Look at the history of mankind. All the wars fought on behalf of religion and skin color.
Is Multiculturalism the reason why America has so much violence?
Go.....
No, it is not.
And actually, most wars have been fought over money, land, or other limited resources. Race and religion are primarily simply the justification: it's a lot easier to kill, steal, rape, and pillage if you've convinced yourself that your enemy is a subhuman heathen.

To his point, aren't a lot of those wars over land and resources based on differing nationalities of people as the root of the taking?
The Black Culture for whatever reason accepts violence more than many others here. There I said it. Look at the murder stats, their music, etc. Black on Black violence is extreme here, especially in big cities. What other ethnic group has more murders, and violent crime than Africans? This is not a "racist" comment it is fact.
... and what ethnic group has the highest poverty statistics in the U.S?
Before we blame their culture, we should be looking at the cycle of intergenerational poverty, inadequate public schools in predominantly African American communities, and the affects that systemic racism has on their communities.
And what do these African American communities in the cities you listed have in common? In addition to St. Louis, Memphis, Flint, etc?
High levels of poverty.
I'm not denying that black on black crime is high- much higher than it should be. But that has less to do with the color of their skin, than it has to do with income levels and lack of opportunity and education within their communities.
30,000 gun deaths a year 20,000 are suicide 10,000 are homicide 50% of which are committed by blacks, who are 13% of the population leaving 5,000 gun homicides a year in a country that doesn't differentiate between whites and hispanics / latinos in crime data. Let's blame video games tho.
Something tells me if you were to control for just the whites committing gun-related homicides, the number would look similar to Norway on a per capita basis. But hey, I'm not a statistician.
White, non-hispanic homicide match Switzerland on a per capita population basis.
DC, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, etc are actually statistically more dangerous than the crappiest craphole countries on the planet....by an order of magnitude. In 2002, DC was the second most dangerous place on earth. Black communities here in the US are literal warzones. I can't find a single high-pop black city that doesn't exceed or match every African nation's homicide rate.
Uhh no, it has more to do with the environment people live in.
Plenty of rural areas have a high population of poor blacks and the gun homicides are much lower than in urban centers.
Black communities here were not warzones. Crime in DC, NYC, Detroit, have decreased in recent years. The only questionable ones are Baltimore and Chicago. And they don’t even compare to San Pedro Sula or Ciudad Juarez. And you trying to argue they do would be absolutely amazing.

So, how long has that happened now? How long should we blame systemic racism? How many multiple decades? Other "communities" have been poor, and destitute. The Irish, and Italians come to mind.
Last May, in Virginia, a 20-something white male ran over a 30-something white female. It wasn't because of race or religion, it was because of hate.
Last June, in Virginia, several people (including Rep Steve Scalise) were shot by a 50-something white male. It wasn't because of race or religion, it was because of hate.
Hate and intolerance is the root of most violence.

We can blame it for as long as it is still occurring... which it is, even if the law says it shouldn't be.
We can blame it for as long as their communities don't have adequate schools, infrastructure and resources.

Poverty is common factor, but here’s the Catch-22.
Italians, Irish, Eastern European Jews were allowed to get bank loans, were not excluded from purchasing homes, owning a business in a particular area, and were not excluded from attending specific schools, and could generally move up along the social heirarchies as they became “white.”
