I have no idea what you're talking about.

What I'm saying is, in areas of extreme high crime rates, there will also be extreme poverty. And the people committing the violent crimes aren't registered voting members of either party.

I don't act ghetto, until I became a libertarian I was a democrat and no one ever called me a sell-out for not acting ghetto.

(Honestly, I never know what someone on this forum will say).

Blacks make up roughly 14% of the population. Quite a disparity in murder.

Seattle has a black population of 6.9% (48,800 people) . Baltimore has a black population of 62% (380,792).

It is pretty clear why Seattle has so few murders.

This tells me that maybe it's not a political issue, but a culture issue.

Another anti-Democrat screed that makes absolutely no sense.

How refreshing.

Okay. What's your point?

US birth rates, across all groups, is at a 30 year low.

The abortion rate is at an all time low, since Roe v Wade settled the matter.

Last I knew it took a male and female to engage in unprotected sex to produce a baby.

And?

My point is that the OP makes this about Republican vs Democrat. A better question is this. Why is Bowie,Maryland, a predominantly Black suburb, have a markedly lower murder rate than Baltimore? Last I checked, Bowie has a murder rate of 1.7 per 100,000.

The OP is trying to make it a political problem though.

How about posting a sensible solution since youre so "in touch" with the problem?
Or maybe you dont realize that youre part of the problem when people like you post divisive threads?
How is he blaming black people though?
