Can't argue with the bolded above.

There is definitely a cultural problem which has to be addressed.

This is why I was in support of Dr. Ben Carson when he was appearing on the rupert network, even though I'm not a fan of that station nor party.

I'm glad Dr. Carson gave a nod as well to Bobby Jingle & Marco Rubio when he was on Hannity.

So even though I have been very critical of that station, I understand the importance of visibly showing Americans of color as being an integral part of the business savvy & professional class.

Black on black crime is high because they are fighting over turf or illegal activity and cannot or will not ask the police for help. The same applies to the mob.

I sometimes think black people are genetically predisposed to anti social behavior. There is no African majority place on this whole earth that is not plagued by crime.

I can't believe you had the audacity to type this. Do you have an idea of the absolute horrors white men have inflicted upon people the world over? Even its own people?

Why is Africa in such a sad state? Could colonization (at the hands of white men) have a part in this?

Highly doubt it. There are dozens of developed countries today that are former colony's. Africa's problems are caused by Africans and no one else. In fact, when I think about where Africa would be without the white man, a pretty bleak picture enters my mind.

lots of small beefs, rivalries and struggles with
poverty and survival, self-hate and destruction
that you won't understand if you're not involved
i guess. it could happen to any people, but I think
blacks have it the worse in this country unfortunately.

Except most of them.

I see you side-stepped what I mentioned about the absolute devastation the white man has caused the world over. What say you on the matter? Do you think they are genetically predisposed to be evil sociopaths? I mean what type of sick people would rape their slave women and then force their *child* into a life of slavery? Gas innocent children and the elderly?

re: your comments about Africa without the white man. You'd have to believe that. Anything else goes against everything negative you believe about black people.

I side stepped the comment because it wasn't relavent to the topic at hand. It is also a bad retortion. White people commited pretty bad acts -in the past-. But they have also contributed more to the functions of this world than any other racial group. Rather than talk about what white people have done -in the distant past- you should have responded with something proving my claim wrong.

Your comment said:

I provided evidence to show that if we are basing actions on a genetic predisposition, that would mean that white men are sociopaths. Nothing else can account for the atrocious acts they've committed throughout history. A quick gander through history books reveal depraved minds and hearts.

Even today, we see how the preying on the innocent is still happening: Holmes, Lanza, McVeigh, Sandusky, Breivik, et al.

Again, your thoughts on the depraved acts of white men?
