They were aged three to 15 years old and the best behaved kids I've ever encountered before or since. She was also working on an Associates degree while working for me and raising all these children. She got a LPN nursing certificate and last I heard she was still a nurse.

People like this black guy are also written off/demonized/ignored:


No one is blaming white people.

Black people were criminalized early on in their existence in this country, Black people has to fight to be treated as equals in this country when they've been treated as inferiors, "less than," and as second class citizens.

Also. I don't think the future will be exactly better and I'm not that optimistic.

I honestly think white men will make millions of dollars off of marijuana dispensaries, stocks, etc when lots of poor underclass blacks will sit in jail basically for doing the same thing, making money off of drugs.

Missouri and Alabama have executed alot of people. They ranked in the top 10 for murder rates. Death penalty doesn't work on individuals who don't expect to live past 30.

Don't believe me?

Well your comment on legalizing drugs as a way to free many incarcerated was valid. Not sure how you do it or where you draw the line but it needs serious consideration.

This is how I will sum up discussions about race and crime. This is my theory about why they get nasty. There is no trust factor. There is a feeling of "Blacks are looked down on, and some people will look for any excuse to vent their hatred about Blacks".
Well I am not one of those people. And of course nasty people exist in real life, of all colors - I know this from extensive experience. Its not my place to tell anyone how to live their life. Have a nice day and thanks for responding at least.

Have no idea ^^ because it's inside your own borders and white folks that are perpetuating horrendous MASS killings!!

You know, being on the outside, I sure do see the perspective of both sides.. and it's obvious that the OP only listens to ALT-Right Facts and demands non-whites GTE Purged!!! Given the numbers.. Just maybe White that commit such MASS MURDER should be purged... Ohhh yeah, some do end up getting convicted.. BUT infiltrated LE by Extreme White Supremacy types kill... then claim "Fear for Life".. this these same wimps refuse to wear CAMS.. or turn them off!! Juries side with LE... Some day those tables will turn!!

OP's premis is nothing more than a Alt-Right troll thread!! I'm happy to be out of the fold.. as I will never ever travel south of 49th parallel ... and haven't for past 8 years!! Didn't bother renewing my passport.. and have advised all my Canadian friends BE VERY VERY careful..!!!
Actually, Asians have the highest per capita mass killing rate. Feel free to look at the gov stats yourself.

I'm not saying that you are. I'm just saying that there is so much distrust, and anger already existing that it's a sticky topic. I'm just talking about the situation.

Please read the title of the thread again, "13 % of the population ..52 % of the crime". The op was talking about "all crime".

Well it would be nice to have a real conversation that does not devolve into a spewing contest. That conversation must have realistic acknowledgements on both sides as well. I don't follow people here so I may not know what their race or gender is unless I see it discussed (and remember it). I do know that you are rational for the most part and seem to remain calm.

I knew what the title was about. Looking at the first few words of the post, this is what I got from it. "Blacks are a criminal population, this is why we don't like them".
