The leftist media is obviously perpetuating and manipulating racism for ratings the same way the NFL tries to sell patriotism for ratings. Both are shameless.
It's 13%.

You don't think the government and our media is divisive so we talk about race relations instead of the civil liberties we've lost, or the criminal activity they engage in, etc?

Because they commit a HIGHLY disproportionate number of crimes. It's a big problem.

The obsession with Black folk on here is amazing. It's pretty much a social experiment on racism. Every day this place has the same people bashing Black folk over and over again. No Matter how many post you make about us we are gaining on you and it's scaring the crap out of you guys.

So please, keep spreading these false allegations while the majority of Black folk go to work and keep getting larger slices of this American pie.
i agree with everything said here. The obsession with blacks is real. The constant "look at what a black person said" threads always do numbers around here. Or my favorite is when one black person trash talks other blacks, all of a sudden that person is a hero. The best example being a former black panther being propped up on these forums.

One thing to point out here, if black communities are not violent then why are the lyrics of rap and hip hop music so habitually and blatantly full of violence and misogyny?

The music of any culture says a great deal about the culture, does it not?

whites are the largest consumers of hiphop though.

Because whites are the largest consumers because they are the largest demographic. The media promotes what they tend to buy as well. Simple media driven economics at work.

"Most whites" do not purchase rap/hip hop because they inherently liked the genre, it is because the media sold it to them.

Just as most blacks do not apparently like their economic conditions that the liberal-democrat collective-socialist ideology sold them.

Popularity is a construct of manipulation.

this video and that cousin and sister is what's wrong with the the poor black community in the hood.
Their priorities are way off. They are actually defending the boys action. They are making excuses for him. They sound like idiots when they talk. These women will have kids or probably already have them and they are going to raise them just like they were raised, with the same values and same morals. It will never end. This is why the poor black community is more violent and more messed up than any other community in The USA.

Because of pride and fear, which work together. It seems that pride and fear control the AA communities, not truth or justice.

Much of it probably stems from the blatant arrogance of those who once controlled them, the slave owners. They have adopted pride and fear as mechanisms for equality.

Chicago, Baltimore, L.A. Wash., D.C. etc are NOT considered "poor" cities.

Most cities have poor areas and most of those areas are populated by blacks.
And in those areas, Blacks tend to be poorer than anyone else. As for LA, there are places in East LA(where hardly any Blacks live) that I would be deathly afraid of.

Race relations have been a volatile topic going back to the early days of this country. We've never really needed the media to divide people. We're already there. Always been there. Anything else is just gasoline on a fire.
