Yup and Racism still very real in very different wavelengths. See how many agreed with her statement in here? There are real facts and a$$holes do come in all colors. This is a fact! but who hides the abuse is mostly Women who live behind those nice HOA walls - some need to ask any LEO they know. Right now in Central Fl it’s being discussed in a special news segment about teens falling prey and not reporting it.

Realize, that the group of people you call thugs, who you don't, and likely never will know, bear the image of God just as you do. Skin color does not make one bad or good. Character does. A group of people cannot be judged by the content of their character. Only individuals can.
Stereotyping is not intellectually lazy, its actually smart. Its a labor saving device to avoid having to learn the same thing over and over again and to avoid dying.

People that can't or refuse to stereotype won't live long enough to make a significant contribution to the genetic pool...thankfully.

People who can't admit they do this are just lying to us or they have a date with death by stupidity. LOL.

Please provide proof. "Are believed to" does not count.

I don't know about the 2-3 times rate but the reluctance to report is very well documented by research using objective quantifiable data, along with anecdotal evidence. Knowing true rate differences, if existing, when comparing demographics is difficult because of shame, underreporting, and alternate definitions of what does or does not constitute abuse, however, there are issues more likely to impact minority populations that are generally considered risk factors for domestic violence such as stressors associated with lower socioeconomic status and cultural acceptance brought over from the old country among immigrants. The problem with addressing the issue is that it requires people be willing to have some very non-PC discussions, something those in the fields researching and/or servicing domestic violence issues have a tendency to avoid.

Just one paper that sort of addresses this - https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/hea...mber-2000.ashx

Thank you, I will read the paper.

Please understand that I was neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the claim, only objecting to the fact that it was made without any supporting information. Statements like that, with nothing to back them up, bother me not because they are necessarily untrue, but because they seem to be made in bad faith.

I guess he's never been to the FSU campus gym. He would probably have a nervous breakdown from seeing all the mixed couples from different walks of life.

You do realize that you’re making white women look bad in this post, right? I know your target is black men, but you missed your mark BIG TIME.

I mean, it’s necessary to get pregnant by a guy just because you have sex with him?

In any case, your faux cautionary rhetoric is cute, but as they say, “you can’t stop the Willie.”

The horse has left the barn.
