How come black and latino people commit more crime than white people?

[Ari Gold]

Forbes recently released it's 2012 list of the most dangerous cities in America, and unsurprisingly, the list was dominated by predominantly black (and/or Latino) cities.

10. Buffalo, New York (50% black and latino)
9. Cleveland, Ohio (53% black, 10% latino)
8. Stockton, California (52% black and latino)
7. Baltimore, Maryland (63% black)
6. Atlanta, Georgia (40% black, 11% latino)
5. Birmingham, Alabama (62% black)
4. Memphis, Tennessee (62% black)
3. Oakland, California (53% black and latino)
2. St. Louis, Missouri (52% black and latino)
1. Detroit, Michigan (82% black and 7% latino)

Why is this? Why are some of the blackest cities in America also the most dangerous? As a person who lives in a city that's on the list, I can assure you that the list is pretty accurate and that it is not white people who are committing the vast majority of these crimes. So why do you do this, black people? Don't you want racism to end?

It's things like these that make me wonder for a second if Dave might've been right when he said "all niggers must die". Except that I really do love black people, and I want you all to stop doing these bad things to become part of the greater good!

Detroit needs a better law enforcement system in place. I think I read where their response time to phone calls with violence on average is 20+ minutes which is well beyond the national requirement and only encourages people to commit more violence since they can get away with it. You also need to teach blacks and latinos in these cities how to act properly and moral. I guess that starts out with dressing decently. My school currently is really cracking down on black people that wear pants below their waist for example but that is only a minor step. Education is important too. They need the right counseling to teach them how other parts of the country are and maybe that'll persuade them to do better in school or just get their schools more funding. I also think their should be something like Ronald Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign because that was pretty effective

Oh yeah, and this idea might sound kind of extreme at first, but I think it will have a positive impact if we try to convince them to speak English well and get rid of this so called 'ebonics' system they have in place. This will take away their sense of cultural identity so they immerse themselves and fit in with normal everyday American society better and would psychologically make them feel we are all apart of the same culture, therefore act more like the average American citizen

Just dont live in Detroit and you'll be fine.

May be all the white men feel threatened by colored people. So the white guys often beat up the colored people, the colored people go to police and the cities became more dangerous

Here's the deal. The biggest cause of crime, by far, is poverty. In the US, most of the people who are impoverished aren't white. Therefor, nonwhites tend to commit more crime. The way to fix is to spend more money on education and R&D. Education to prepare people for jobs, and R&D to create more permanent, high level jobs. Public works is an okay short term way to give these people jobs/money, but they aren't long term enough.

That is because white people and their superiority complex. Here's a little history lesson for you.

Africans were stolen from their homes, traveled through harsh conditions to a country they never wanted to go. They were beaten and abused for centuries. They had to fight against their own kind. Working in horrible conditions from sunrise to sunset picking cotton and tobacco and whatever else. When slavery was finally abolished, not even for slavery but because the South wanted to make their own country, they were hated and threatened. Abused and beaten just because they had a different skin color. With Jim Crow laws and all, they had nothing good.

From the 50s to the 60s, things started to look up. Amendments in their favor were being passed, the black panther party was inspiring, people like Martin Luther King and Booker T. Washington really lifted their spirits. They were finally being looked at as human beings. They would finally be accpeted for the color of their skin. But they were wrong.

After the Harlem Renaissance and the African American Civil Rights Movement, white people looked at them as humans, yes, but nothing more. Just an inconvenience.

To modern times, white people are still trying to segregate blacks. They make homes expensive and push them to a cheap area where they can all be together in the projects, also known as the "ghetto". They use a system called redlining to refuse people loans because they live in "poor neighborhoods". They refuse to give money to schools so they have bad reasources.

Hate derives from hatred. It causes hatred. It consumes and devours people. And it can travel through lifetimes, from generation to generation. White people wish to get rid of things because it's different. (Slavery, Holocaust, Genocide of Natives, etc.) This Euro mentality causes people to hate themselves because they're different. African American's are "dangerous" because they've been taught to hate themselves. And if they hate themselves, what makes you think they're going to conform to the white folks?

Now for Latinos, America feels threatened by them because they're sneaking across the border and "stealing our jobs". But guess what? How many Latino lawyers and doctors do you see? And how many Latino janitors and construction workers do you see? They take the jobs that nobody else wants. And yet they're still getting hostility from white people. Because they're different.

Sorry for the lengthy response. I'm new. Does this answer your question?

[Ari Gold]

So your argument is that two wrongs make a right?

And for the record, it's a myth that blacks were "stolen from their homes." They were already slaves in Africa and, when the Europeans came to Africa to trade, their own people convinced them to take slaves. Slavery originated as a black on black crime.

[Bad_Penmanship]

I hate the whole "two wrongs don't make a right". Do you believe in self-defense?

So you completely ignore everything about how bad they were treated and the whites' hatred led to their hatred and crime. Talking about black on black crime. Do you have proof of that? And even if it is true, it was nearly as bad as the millions that were beaten and lynched. Or the millions that died during "seasoning" or the voyage itself.

You must be white.

[No1sPerfect]

Oh but when white people in the Faroe Islands do 100% of the crime there no-one thinks that's an overwhelming statistic.

[Bad_Penmanship]

That's because it's a tiny little island off the UK. Population less than 100,000 and the fact that's in Europe leaves probably a small population of any other races. If what you're saying about 100% white crime is true, there must be less than 20% of any other races. But I'm pretty sure that it's not 100% white crime.

Sure, I do. Slavery was a terrible wrong, and something America should never forget. However, it seems you're using that as an excuse for the misbehavior of African-Americans today, even though none of them were ever slaves. If I'm reading that wrong, let me know.

No, I don't. It was terrible, but that doesn't give blacks a right to act out now...

As for proof, just Google it. Easy.

[Bad_Penmanship]

"even though none of them were ever slaves."

You can't expect a generation to magically have their own ideas about things without being influenced by the former generation. Part of it is because they're following in the footsteps of their parents hatred. It's unforunate, but it is true.

It doesn't matter if they've been slaves. Why? Because white people are still satans today. AS you picked and chose which things to point out, you paid no attention to the modern hatred whites STILL have for blacks. You asked a question. I answered it with as much as an un-biased answer I could, and you're not satisfied. It's the truth but your type fail to see it for what it is. YOU cause a problem and then get upset when someone retaliates negatively. You people make me sick.

"No, I don't. It was terrible, but that doesn't give blacks a right to act out now..."

That's all you ever say. Yeah it was terrible. Now let's move on with our lives. But 9/11 only 3,000 people died and then you're all like "DOWWN WITH MOSLEM TERRORISTS! LETS NUKE THEM ALL!! BLOW THEM TO BITS AND PIECES!!"
I won't even go into the fact that you almost successful wiped out an entire race -the Native Americans.

"As for proof, just Google it. Easy."

That's what all the ignorant idiots who make up "facts" say. If it's true, why is it so hard to provide solid evidence?

Okay, but the vast majority of black people aren't doing crimes to get back at the white man. Besides, you're taking a thread completely out of context. I think we've had a huge misunderstanding here, honestly.

And that's racist. You're just as bad as the people you criticize. Congrats.

I'm aware that racism is alive and well in this country. Only ignorant Republifucks aren't.

But 9/11 only 3,000 people died and then you're all like "DOWWN WITH MOSLEM TERRORISTS! LETS NUKE THEM ALL!! BLOW THEM TO BITS AND PIECES!!"

Nice strawman. I supported the war in Afghanistan, sure, but that doesn't mean I wanted to "nuke all Muslims."

Again, I think you have a gross misunderstanding of who I am and what I believe.

[Bad_Penmanship]

I don't think so. I think it's the way you represent yourself. I rest my case.
