Which has caused more violence combined with letting out predators as soon as they're caught and countries to our south emptying their jails and sending them across our nonexistent border and you have a giant jump in crime, especially in Democrat areas that are encouraging mass violence.

Interesting. I would have expected the figure to be far less than 30%.

Actually, no there isn't any. Good point.

Those types of messages have been around for a long time in this country and not just directed at blacks.

Today those with such views are just fringe nutters, mainstream USA is a much better place than that.

Heck, one could easily argue that the most vilified group in the US right now is a straight white male.

Skin color is just an identifier.
85% of the males in prison grew up without a father. 90% of the homeless grew up in a single parent environment.
It's about guidance.

Not that you are saying one way or the other.

That kind of subculture of violence goes back to the Antebellum South. Go read Albion's Seed, Black Rednecks And White Liberals, Culture Of Honor: Psychology Of Violence In The South.
The one prevailing factor is single parenthood. The lack of guidance. 85% of the males in prison grew up without a father. Ignore that fact all you want.

Because it was a meaningless thread that lacked substance and context. It completely ignored the fact that 85% of the males in prison grew up without a father.

And it has nothing to do with the topic. Not one thing. That's just more deflection. The actual topic is what matters and not something you try to make it about in order to deflect from the truth.

That’s correct, the remaining 88% of America (including illegal and legal immigrants from developing countries) are less violent than native born African Americans.

This is what happens when there is no accountability in the Democratic Party. No sense of urgency or effort to stop murder via stop and frisk. We have war zone America, that is more dangerous than Syria, and we have regular America that is normal.

Are most black people violent? No. It’s around 33% of the black community pretty much committing half the crime in America.

I would not want to come across MS13, the Latin Kings, or LaEme. I don't want to come across gangs of any ethnicity, period
