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.

I agree, to a small extent

African Americans have little history before coming to America. The urge to be part of a group and belong is strong. African Americans who do not embrace the negative aspects, or what most consider negative, of culture, are criticized and viewed as "trying to act white".

Has to be more than this explanation though

How many black on black crimes are gonna pop up tonight? You really wanna talk about it...find an organization in your local area that focuses on addressing this issue.
Local organizations?? Like I said before, many local organizations are within higher crime ridden areas. Does that help much?

It's always good to ask questions.

Lack of education? Are you kidding me? A large portion of America, regardless of race, seems to be uneducated.

Bad parenting/single parent household? Seen this in other races. Sure, I definitely think it contributes, but not to the point where you are killing another person.

Poverty-- Isn't this American government trying to combat this by specific programs such as welfare? Poverty is also widespread, not necessarily racially targeted. YET, poverty does have more of a correlation to African Americans based on the American history. Such as not accumulating wealth like other groups. based on past housing laws. So, yes this could contribute.
Yes but when you grow up in a household where all 3 are prevalent then chances are you will become of the statistics.

No its not always good to ask questions. It depends on the intent of your question. From the threads you've created it seems that your intent is to create threads that will generate negative comments about black people, i.e. posting a fake youtube video that proclaims its a riot in Miami when a quick google search proved it was footage from the stanley cup riots....but of course you didn't search because you didn't really wanna know the answer; just like you really don't know the answer now but I'll give you one anyway....

Well DUH the local organizations are going to be in crime ridden areas. What good does it do to have an organization focus on preventing black on black crime if there is no black on black crime there?

The local organizations are only as useful as the people involved and their intentions. The one in my local area has set up safe zones where people can turn in guns no questions asked. They work with local churches hosting teen lock-ins and dances and movie nights to try to keep kids off the streets. They offer after school tutoring & mentoring with black professionals. It hasn't solved every problem but some parents have reported its helping.

First of all, I NEVER CREATED a post which shows a fake youtube video. Let's get that straight. No, If you look at my other posts I am defending black people. You don't know me by the way. So, don't assume certain things about me.

Want something for nothing, entitlement, if they have no job then they have too much time on their hands. Happens with all races.

Moderator, can you close this thread down? I don't want to come across as racist or give people a bad name. My intention was to make people think before they jump to conclusions. People always seem to say something racially related when they see things they don't like among a specific person or group of people. I wanted people to think before it happened again.

Oh I apologize that must have been another Beilua Rose in the "riots in downtown Miami" thread that has since been deleted. My bad...your screen names are so similar. You're right I don't know you, but what exactly are you defending black people from? Kryptonite?
