Crime and African-Americans in Jacksonville (violent crime, closing, centers)

[coolieandre]

How do we take these statement the wrong way?

-Hands down majority of crime is from AA culture.
-Maybe we should consider segregation
- Part of AA culture is to fight Authority

Coolieandre I didn't say part of AA culture is to fight authority that must have been somebody else.
The problem is that whenever somebody tries to say anything constrctive or something that doesn't always comply with the politically correct socialist agenda they are immediately subject to criticism.

You're right that was JAC MC FLY that made that remark....But you still said some form of segregation would be better for white and black communities which I would like you to explain how?

i would NEVER classify racial segregation as constructive. quite the opposite. also, i have no idea what you mean about politically correct socialist agenda. it sounds like just a bunch of words you borrowed from rush limbaugh and decided to apply it here. but i don't think anyone bothered to challenge/criticize the inherent racist nature of this thread until i did in page 5. everyone else was just going along with the idea that "black people = crime". that's hardly immediate.

[coolieandre]

You're so right...I mean, I even read into detail where she said the bad black guys were messing it up for the good ones. Like there are so few good black people....Ugh!

[coolieandre]

And yea, who is to blame but the media. If a black man saves a life it's not noticed...But then again most positives aren't noticed... If a Black man steals it's noticed and even if a black man or(Mixed) wins the white house it's a bad thing...That's a differ story though....lol

coolieandre you want me to explain why I think segregation would be better?
It is difficult to explain because whatever I say will be pounced upon as being racist so I will attempt to give you what I think is an appropriate analogy and thus avoid sounding racist.
Ok, imagine you are living a peaceful life in an African tribal village, everything is fine and you can go about your daily life with not many problems.
One day a group of white people decide to build some huts near your village and at first you welcome them but pretty soon these white people start mugging members of your tribe whenever they go to gather fruit or hunt..
Would you be annoyed coolieandre? Of course you would , you would be concerned for your family.
Ok...I appreciate that was just an analogy but everybody desires to live in some sort of harmony and security, our homes are our castles and it is instinctive to want to safeguard our families and homes.

I told you once. I don't think you're Racist. I think you are uneducated....Proof goes to your example. Why would you give me an example about being in a tribal village like i'm some indegenious person who knows nothing about a Western civilization or way of life...
- And to answer your question I would be upset. But you're example is not realistic. You are blaming all the problems on 1 group of people!

cooliandre that's twice you have resorted to a personal insult. Your calling me uneducated is nothing new, I have heard this before from those with liberal ideas, sometimes they say uneducated,stupid or ignorant when anybody challenges their ideas or their feelings that only they are the righteous, for too long people have been bullied into submission the the politically correct self appointed guardians of morality

Sucks that liberals push you over, and just to throw it out, I'm not liberal...I'm sure you think I am b/c I'm black...Lol jk.... And nobody is pushing you. I just think you are "Uneducated" on the issue of how to fix crime in Jacksonville as well as other cities. It's not through segregation at all. And that's the problem with a lot of things in this country. Segregation will not help solve anything. What are you gonna do. Make one area prosperous and the other Crime Ridden, and thow up gated commuites to stop the thieves...Not the answer. There are DEF other ways then Segregation. That's what's uneducated.
