Perhaps you should grace us with an explanation of why "men raised by single mothers" are far more apt to be murderers than other men.
Because anyone raised by single mothers has less parental guidance overall. It's awfully hard fro a single mom to spend time doing homework, taking their kids to sports (if they can even afford them), being Cub Scout Moms, and generally being involved in their child's life when they are busy working to just keep the lights on.

PEOPLE (men AND women) raised by single parents are much more likely to get involved with drugs, get in trouble with the law, and drop out of school. Again, it's true for ALL kids raised in that situation, not just men.

Good grief, I sat and talked with 3 older black ladies for several hours about this VERY topic. It was a wonderful conversation, and I didn't even get screamed at once.
Black men tend to kill other black men. White men tend to kill white men. Latino men tend to kill Latino men. Because people are most likely to be killed by someone they know and/or are related to. Again, it's true for all races, and is not just true for black men.

Talk about generalizing and stereotyping...

Is that the flip-side of saying that women don't have the temperament to do as well in business as do men? or that women belong in the home raising the children?

I agree - to a point.

The disagreement is in the fact that we ALL know it's different with black men. It just is.

Now... we could debate the issues surrounding WHY it's different with black men, but the fact is that it remains different.

Funny how threads like this can exist and if we change the title around to female it gets locked up and the OP gets banned.

No, it's not different with black men. And to insinuate that black men are inherently misguided is about as blatantly racist as can be, whether you choose to believe that or not.

WRONG - and WRONG on many levels.

You epitomize everything that is wrong with our current Leftist Social Justice Warriors (who always happen to be wealthy white kids).

Denial of this FACT is nothing short of an alcoholic claiming that he is an addict.


The FACTS are not on your side, and I'm not letting you get by with the tired old, "THAT'S RACIST!!!!" nonsense.

I think you are obsessed with leftists. Also You and folks like you get so offended at the word racist. If the shoe fits wear it.

Do you have any opinion on male to female violence or are you just going to keep going on and on about Black and racial violence.

Aaaaaaand there it is. The inevitable accusation of racism. What you REALLY did there is admit defeat.


But here's the difference (one of many) between me and you: I know exactly what I'm talking about, regarding urban poor black violence, because I live there. I'm neighbors and friends with these folks. I live here. I've had friends shot and killed. I've gone to the hospital ERs and to funerals.

Unlike you, blacks aren't making excuses for black on black violence. They're royally POd by it.


But do keep on acting like there's not a problem, or that nobody besides you might know what it is.
