Why are poor black communities more violent than poor white communities? (Congress, interviews)

[RegalSin]

Because everything on TV is just N-Word, N-Word, N-word. Officers looking to carry somebody to jail for nothing.

Actually, for hundreds of years in this country, both poor and wealthy whites were far more violent. More recently, the poor urban black areas have become more violent...many frustrated people living in them.

I doubt that. From 1957:

The most ticklish law-enforcement fact in many a big Northern city is that the crime rate among Negroes is far higher than that of any other segment of the population*—and few elected officials want to antagonize vote-conscious Negroes by saying so. None knew this better than the unhappy city fathers of Kansas City, Mo., who, during the first three weeks of 1957, saw the number of armed robberies, burglaries and thefts run 40% beyond the 1956 rate, while four out of five robbery victims reported that the holdup men were Negroes. One day last fortnight, seven Negro businessmen called...

1957 is actually quite recent. And yes for most of this country's history most crime was committed by white people, NOT BLACKS.

So you can please stop your attempt to make it look as if black people committed most crime in American history.

Having an illegitimate birth rate has nothing to do with whether children will succeed. Drop out rate and role models (not roll models) yes.

Sure it does. Statistically, it absolutely does.

Like I said, FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, both poor and wealthy whites were far more violent. 1957 is recent and even during that time, whites were committing all sorts of crimes against others and not recording them, in order to justify their inhumane behavior. They also made a habit of blaming their crimes on black people. So yes, whites were much more violent overall in this country...muuuuch more.

W.E.B Du Bois:

"Or to put it differently, the problem of Negro crime in Philadelphia from 1830 to 1850 arose from the fact that less than one-fourteenth of the population was responsible for nearly a third of serious crimes committed." (p. 168)

"In the city of Philadelphia the increasing number of bold and daring crimes committed by Negroes [since 1890] has focused the city on this subject. There is a widespread feeling that something is wrong with a race that is responsible for so much crime, and that strong remedies are called for. One has but to visit the corridors of the public buildings, when the courts are in session, to realize the part played in law-breaking by the Negro." (p. 169)
