Actually, no, most crime is not committed by black males.
Not sure where you got that idea, but since you brought it up. There was a New York Times story a few years ago that included the following statistic: 80% of all shootings in a given year were committed by black males, even though they comprise 23 % (I think ?) of the city's population.
For 2012 the reported figure was 72-75% depending on the source....I know the liberals will say nonsense like "all family types are equal" but common sense says that kids without a father figure present will not do as well as kids with a father figure.
And this is exactly what I'm talking about with them skewing the atsts.
Out of wedlock means that the child was born while the parents weren't married. If two people were in a relationship, and started having sex a year before they got married, and the child came out 9 months later (3 months before the wedding), that child was technically born out of wedlock. There are plenty of people who are in a relationship 3-5 years before they get married, and in the meantime, they might have 1 or 2 kids.
A child born out of wedlock doesn't necessarily have to grow up without a father. (And for that matter, what about people who have their kids while they're married, but they get divorced? )

THe 113 and 103 which cover Jamaica, Cambria Heights and Springfield Gardens and Laurelton. The 120 which covers Stapleton in SI. I'm everyone can come up with reasons why crime happens in these areas but there is no denying that those are very busy pcts. I also forgot the 67 which covers East Flatbush.
When you figure out crime rates, you do it by neighborhood, not by precinct. I guarantee you that if you factored Jamaica & South Jamaica out of the 103 & 113th precinct, you'd come up with a much lower crime rate. And doesn't the 47th precinct cover the Edenwald PJs (and I think Boston-Secor, and some third one I can't recall right now)? Don't you think that impacts the crime rate? Factor those out, and see how much the crime rate drops. There are a few other pockets where crime is higher than average (For instance, some areas by White Plains Road). Factor those out and watch the crime rate drop further.
And you clearly know nothing about Staten Island. The 120th precinct isn't a high-crime precinct (compared to the rest of the city. It's the highest-crime precinct in SI, but there's only 3 precincts out here), nor is it even close to being predominantly black, so why bother mentioning it? Yeah, it includes Stapleton. So what? (Stapleton isn't even majority black anymore. Hispanics moving into the area pushed the black population under 50%). There are plenty of neighborhoods within the precinct that aren't black neighborhoods (they're more diverse, some with Hispanic pluralities), and a decent amount are even white neighborhoods (75+% white).

23% of the city's population is black. That means about 11-12% are black males.
Yeah. So have I. Some could not take the ghetto folk and their lifestyle and "fled."
Others stayed but they are vastly more realistic about the area than you are.
And it has nothing to do with this bizarre "courage" thing. They were priced out of every other area.
No, they could have left NYC altogether and found much cheaper housing elsewhere. But they weren't utter cowards like some people (particularly Norwood Woman) who flee like cripple old women to alleged safe places. So yes, these young white and asian women has more balls than Ms. Norwood. Chickens and Cowards on this thread.

You really are dense, aren't you? Even if most of the shootings in the city are done by Black men, CRIME does not EQUAL SHOOTING. Any violation of the law is a crime, PERIOD, from tax evasion to speeding. You've provided no written source that claims most of the violations of the law in NYC are committed by Black men.
I'd like to you to provide such a link from a reputable source, if it exists.
To the extent shootings do occur in the city, its mostly organized crime (you have participants of all races) People don't just come up to perfect strangers and shoot them.
Harlem and Norwood Girl are trying to cover up their sissy boy cowardice. Does mommy let you girls outside alone? Ooh, its so scary out there.
Writer your a punk who get his courage behind a keyboard.
You fled to Putnam like a punk/wimp. I can deal with NYC just fine. Your lack of manhood amazes me. Real men don't get pushed out of where they grow up.
