sure, crimes are committed everyday, and that will always happen.

as a whole though, crime as an excuse is not really valid.
Yeah but how do they manage to get those jobs, they don't even speak English? Obviously they are hard working for the most part and they don't let anything get in their way, they just do what they have to do. No complaining, they just do what they have to do.

And look how quickly they are coming up. The hispanic middle class is growing at a very fast pace.

Well of course people in all groups kill each other, but there's absolutely no comparison. I've liked in poor hispanic neighborhoods and poor black neighborhoods. There is absolutely no comparison.

This is how Saints fans celebrated after winning the Super Bowl. not a single Riot. No fires (firecrackers thougH). no looting. no broken windows. No stabbing.

This in a city made infamous by the rioting that DID occur after Katrina. But sports are a time for joy. There is no need to riot!

What's really odd is that many of the white inhabitants of the New Orleans area are descendants of French Canadians who fled Nova Scotia and ended up in South Louisiana. If must not be a French thing or a white thing, I think it's a Canadian thing.

The people rioting after a game are not sports fans, they are thugs who use any excuse to get drunk and cause trouble. Why you assume they are all white is far from the truth, perhaps some racism towards white in your charge..?
Perhaps more white people in the hockey riots, but those problems happen in Basketball, football, etc, in both college and Pro. I will assure you there are at least as many black and Hispanic doing those riots..
The fact you put it all on whites is either ignorance or racism...maybe both???

Keep the personal attacks to yourself, I didn't cause your problems and I should be expected to fix or pay to fix them.
I didn't personally attack you, you did me however. Also, how do you know my voting record?

I find is horrible that people like Backspace and Sam Barrow have no idea about how society works. Its tragic that people live in our nation without even knowing what goes on in it.

PS Barrow...this has NOTHING about me being half White. It has more to do with you simply being ignorant.

It's tragic, but laughable. That's why I keep coming back.To me it's like a bad drama comedy that you know the outcome...but you hope the characters would evolve learn and grow...but they never do.

Now you're calling us stupid. If you have an argument, present it. Otherwise no need to talk ****.

I think it's horrible that you can justify senseless violence based on adverse conditions without even acknowledging that some of the responsibility may be shared. I may not be as educated as you, but I have lived it. No amount of studying on your part can come close to what I have learned in the real world.

They make up instances of racism, they exaggerate instances of racism, they even go as far as to work to create special law punishments based on race alone for certain crimes.
Yup that's all people are doing 24/7.

You're right now that Obama is elected, racism is over. The wealth gap on the basis of race magically disappeared, but not really.

Why was that stupid? You really don't understand the ghetto mentality these days. You really think this guy was looking for a job, got frustrated, and then murdered for some weed? No. This is the type of senseless violence that goes on every single day in America. It is senseless. It is not because of oppression and victimization.



They're also more likely to commit crimes. Sad truth.



Did Irish people 100 years ago have a 70% out of wedlock birth rate?



And why is that??? The "elites" I bet. Bull****.
Go read a book about sociology and history.

BTW, wedlock means ****.
