Again, your thoughts on the depraved acts of white men?
Most white places on this earth are quite pleasant places to live. Is there even one black majority place on this earth that people are rushing to move to for opportunity? No, there isn't, because of a the social ills within black communities.

I may think differently someday, if even one single African majority country that isnt a tourist island reaches a high human development index.

I cherish the diversity of ALL peoples. I crave and desire diversity....it is so gorgeous and beautiful....how can anyone bring up such a question!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I guess since the question was asked about behavior....I will answer in a non-racist way!!!!!

I believe that to a large extent, the actions of some AA's in this country is due to genetics....plain and simple.

We have a "war on drugs" this creates a great deal of "crime" in poor neighborhoods. Poor people are often desperate people, it has nothing to do with skin color and far more to do with poverty.

To make matters worse we have the poorest schools in the poor neighborhoods, so the people are suppressed from reaching their true potential.

You will always face those assumptions. It's ingrained in people. Every conservative is a greedy sexist homophobic Islamophobic racist religious warmongering fanatic. And anybody who doesn't agree with them is a conservative.

He references the status of entire nations and your response is to come up with individual mentally ill people? That's not very convincing. And you point to what white people have done throughout history? Every racial type has been violent throughout history.

I would argue that the prevalence of violence in the black nations is more due to tribalism than is due to any defect in black people. It's like the war in Yugoslavia in the 90s. They tried to take two historically different peoples and draw a border on a map that made them into one nation, and eventually it collapsed into violence.

So I don't agree with the person you responded to. But your response was pretty weak. Trying to equate pervasive nationwide anarchy and violence in places like Somalia and the Congo to McVeigh? One white guy who set off a bomb? Come on.

So, if it was a casual thing, African blacks would be just as bad as black Americans if not worse.

Blacks have this criminal, ghetto subculture they celebrate and embrace as being the authentic black American culture. The result are the issues you see in many black Americans. Good news is cultures do change over time. Once upon a time Boston was the most conservative, puritan place in America...not so any longer.
This is it,I don't know why this thread keeps going on.

Gangsta Rap

We didn't have this much hate, when there was Soul Train and preaching Love

Respect and Responsibility.

If a person is taught to respect others, and taught responsibility for ones self, and responsibility for one's actions, then a person isn't as inclined to go committing crimes.
