Or maybe I see a difference between middle class Black culture and the underclass ghetto culture.
People cannot be divided into two or three distinct culture groups in any race. Behavior ranging from low-class, through middle-class to upper-class runs a full spectrum.
Without a doubt, blue-collar working people exhibit many of the same traits as "underclass" people, often within the same families.
You continually present the notion that a tiny percentage of black people exhibit "underclass" behaviors, with everyone else living by middle-class standards. It isn't true.
You've also claimed that "99.99%" of all black people live crime-free. No race has those numbers.
The book, Hillbilly Elegy demonstrates this paradox among white people. No doubt it applies to people of every race as well.

Reason: Added a line
Statistics can be used all sorts of ways. The county in the US with the largest percentage of federal aid recipients is more than 95% white and reliably votes Republican. So what?
The low homicide rate among American Whites (Non-Hispanic) is on par or just slightly higher than the homicide rates you find in most European nations.
The high homicide rate among Black Americans is comparable to the high homicide rates you find in many western, central, or southern African nations, and Caribbean nations such as Haiti.
The low homicide rate among Asian Americans is comparable to the low homicide rates you find back in their respective Asian nations.
The homicide rate among Hispanic Americans is actually lower than all of the central American nations.
Great post. Thank you. Making excuses for violent crime rates in the U.S. when those rates are similar race to race in every country that has never had slavery or “systemic racism”, or guns vs no guns.
It’s no coincidence that violent crime rates around the world are similar race for race. There are a few outliers but that could be said for most comparisons.l

That 99.9%, I was talking specifically about MURDER. This thread is about murder. My point was that the vast majority of the murders come from the underclass. I wasn't even talking about the blue collar population. I was talking about middle class Black people vs the underclass.
I'm well aware that there is an underclass is every population. That is where most of the crime comes from.
