For those with the ability to read and comprehend, I both answered and replied!!!

All messages are not worthy of discussion, they are based on and directed at nothing but agendas that put an artificial perfection on one group and attempt to disparage all others!!

These types of debates may make sense in your circle of acquaintance's but not in mind, we don't feed the trolls!

No, I believe the bias lies in people that start threads in the hope of garnering ill will and establishing a foothold for the "white nationalist" and "stormfronters" type people to gather on this board, and the people such as yourself that attempt to legitimize non-sense as a debate worthy topic!!

Violent inner-city crime, the figures, and a question of race - Telegraph



Is there any area where a Black minority is not responsible for a disproportional amount of violent crime?
Actually it is NOT even 12%. It is more like about 3 to 4%. Blacks may be 12% of the population but most violent crimes are done by black males between 14 and 40 years old. That is probably about 3.5% of the total population.
The black male is very oppressed right now no matter where he lives. He often lacks an education, rarely finishes high school and unless he can play ball or sing he will not have much of a chance of a decent living in the neo capitalist economy. Gone are the days when the oppressed black man had job options like a factory, the meat packing plants or the military. Those jobs are either gone or require a high school diploma now.

So what are you saying... that crime is all down to the colour of your skin?? Get real, learn to read, and do some. I suggest "Guns, Germs, and Steal" as a start

City Data is already getting a reputation as an extension of Stormfront in other forums and idiotic threads like this just perpetuates that perception. The hottest topics seem to be about gays, blacks ( crime, affirmative action) and minorties/illegals.

If you think that that was based on bias...thanks for at least attempting to get in the game.

Honestly this silly back and forth is not worth any further discussion, it amounts a bunch of nothing.

Go on with like minded people and continue this conversation with those of like mind.

I was always taught that sometimes it takes the bigger person to walk away...bye.

ah NO! I really don't want the mental midgets of this sub forum invading the other forums I visit with their idiocy.Trust me though most would be banned within hours with their racists/homophobic rants.
