Yep. Children from single parent families
A 10 percent increase in the percentage of children living in single-parent homes leads typically to a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime.

The rate of violent teenage crime corresponds with the number of families abandoned by fathers.

Children from single-parent families are more likely to have behavioral problems because they tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents.

"The absence of fathers is important, Obama continued, because "children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison."

You didn't 'disprove' anything. How do we know this? By the actual statistics and data that are available to us about:


black on black shootings/murders
black on white shootings/murders when compared to the reverse

police shooting white people more than black people despite white people committing far less violent crime and having far less interactions with police despite being a much larger percentage of the American population.



Take your lies elsewhere it isn't going to work on me because I know the actual statistics and don't fall for the false media narrative.

Rogue cops are a problem wherever, whenever and whoever they abuse/kill.

Trying to make this about the media is a big failure, since you linked to the media.

The REAL question is:

When will cops wake the hell up and stop this needless crap?

BTW, both of my brothers are cops. One recently retired, the other still active. They hate the criminals with a badge.

What false narrative? You believe that Black people only care about Black deaths when it's done by cops and they don't care when it's Black-on-Black crime. I told you that Black people get together about Black-on-Black violence more often and in greater numbers than they do for protesting police brutality.

So your position is that I'm lying about Black people doing more than you're giving them credit for? What would it take to convince you that Black people are more active than you want to give them credit for?

Blacks killing blacks do get highlighted in the media all the time.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Are riots the only way Black people are allowed to discuss an issue? B/c I doubt you're excluding all the marches against police brutality that don't include riots from your evidence that Black people only care when the violator is a cop.

lol As if you watch those stations much. If you did, you'd know they report it.

Because too many want to treat blacks like children and not hold them responsible. They ignore the facts that show us where the big problem is. The problem isn't inter racial homicide or cops killing unarmed people. The problem is blacks killing other blacks. Can't even discuss the reason why it is happening when it isn't recognized as a problem.

Chicago is evenly divided between whites, hispanics, and blacks, yet 75.3% of victims and 70.5% of offenders were African American.
I see more Fox News than you I bet. Working in hospitals means watching and seeing Fox News all day. Used to be CNN when I started training out of college but now solid Fox News. And yes I would have seen it and been reminded by 100 patients a day about it to be honest.

Chicago reminds me of what happens when you have horrible policies in a city for 60+ years then wonder why there is a problem. Chicago like most cities North and South, shoved the black folks into one section and wrote that area off. No new businesses for decades, no commerce because White folks wouldn’t dare shop in black areas in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s. And you see a community deteroriates to nothing by design just to here the people that designed the system complain of the results.

To me America is getting the results it sought with policies from the 1930’s onward. I don’t know how you change communities that were ignored by design for over a half a century.

I also don’t know how to change the minds of the people in the community either. Seems they are under the impression that American gave up on them, they have no money, no jobs in the area, so to them the only change they see is the calendar date.

It’s slowly changing but I don’t expect to undo decades of damage in 10 years. We are still not past the civil war, America drags crap out like no other.

Edit:
And yes I expect African American to shovel all their anger and frustration toward the country while digging out because to be honest it was American Policy that started this mess after reconstruction.

Nothing dishonest about the truth. The reaction becomes the news, as we are seeing today. If no one reacts, then news fade away.

We don't have the mainstream media in our corner.
