No. Watch the looting videos. The looters are overwhelmingly Black. BLM's Ariel Atkins even said it's appropriate, calling the widespread looting "reparations."

Who gets shot the most in Chicago, etc., every week and who's doing the shooting? It's nearly always Blacks, both victims and perps. It's not a street culture thing as other groups live under similar socioeconomic circumstances but keep their violence and destruction more in check. It's a Black culture thing.

Street culture mixed with generations of poverty/neglect/addiction/criminalization/mass incarceration and war on drugs.
Started with redlining and blockbusting, pushing an entire people to the edge and this is the end result.

I'd say it's a combination. You don't see poor whites in Appalachia shooting each other at anything even approaching the rates you see in black inner cities. But then again, you also don't see middle class blacks shooting each other either.

It's because they are too methed out to bother. The inner cities are all about survival of the strongest, or what appears to be the strongest. I don't think drive by's peppering houses with bullets is a sign of strength, actually quite the opposite.

So why aren't all races impacted equally? Why do Blacks have much higher violent crime and violent crime victim (of Black perps) rates? It's not as if Blacks are the only race among the marginalized and/or socioeconomically disadvantaged. In fact, numerically, there are far more Whites in poverty than Blacks, and many more Whites die of self-inflicted drug ODs. So why the extreme difference in violent crime rates, by race? Why are Blacks' violent crime rates so much higher than any other group's?

Now, all you Z's and M's, please keep paying your taxes. Us boomers and Xers want our monthly deposit.
That Socialist dole check every month does come in handy, doesn't it?

It sure does. Feels good that I actually worked for it and, earned it. Call it what you want. It’s my smirking happy money.

Think of it this way, they’re a group of people who constantly had obstacles thrown in front of them.

congrats your free, oh but your not allowed the same rights, congrats your given civil rights but all the segregation condemned you to poverty and projects. Here sell these drugs, also we’re criminalizing them, don’t get caught. Also our cops are sent out to harass you and not help. You will be mass incarcerated too.


But were gonna simplify the narrative and just say “blacks are inherently violent” and not discuss any of the above...

You paid a portion of your earnings to be invested so that you and everyone else can have that check every month.

Democratic Socialism works well.
