Black people tend to have less wealth and live in more densely populated areas. These combined cause more crime.

- Can't have guns because black people like shooting each other?
italians, irish, chinese, etc were shit on for many years in this country. but, they were productive and hard working. they didnt lay around in welfare filth and shoot each other instead.Doctor Strangelove wrote:

Well, the difference with the black community involves many factors...Red Forman wrote:

1) there was very little of a coherent cultural identity among blacks as compared to immigrants coming from Europe. Since most blacks in the U.S. today are descended from slaves, their cultural heritage had to essentially reboot after the abolition of slavery. While there are distinct black cultural characteristics in American culture (like various music forms created by black Americans, like Negro spirituals, blues, r&b, jazz, soul, rap, etc.), oppression was their collective origin.
2) the War on Poverty put forth some shortsighted policies that encouraged the disintegration of the black family (like policies that gave black mothers more government funds if they were unmarried as opposed to being married).
3) drug addictions seemed to sweep through black communities worse than many others because things like cocaine and crack became readily available on the street around the same time as the disintegration of many black families. When coupling this with the fact that drug dealing can make a lot of money much faster than working at McDonald's, it's no surprise that a lot of drug dealing happens in black ghettoes.
Of course, plenty of meth dealing and addictions seem to be sweeping through white ghettoes.

To an extent I kinda agree, they do need to be proactive. But that is very easy to say from you being someone who never encountered the same problems.Red Forman wrote:

Please state the similarities of the gun laws between Canada and the US.....
Gun laws vary state to state
Plaxico Burress gets arrested for having an unregistered gun in New York after shooting himself (2 years in prison)
In Maine I can open carry an unregistered loaded gun anywhere, but in my car I cannot keep the gun loaded unless I have a concealed weapons permit even if its laying on the passenger seat or clearly visable in the window.

Typical Macbeth thread: Borderline offensive and poorly thought out. Don't blame it on black people. It's not skin color that's the problem. The problem is, Black people tend to be poor, and gangs tend to be made up of poor people.

I'm halfway split between poverty/environment and race/culture.
Having said that our African cousins do seem quicker to resort to violence, and value life less, than white europeans.
Using violence and aggression does seem more important in proving manhood also.
There, I'm a racist.

Well, there is a significant difference between African-Americans and Africans. In many African nations, education is very poor, and poverty is the worst in the world. So when humanity lives under those conditions, people do tend to act like animals. I don't think it's a genetic thing.Dilbert_X wrote:

As for African-Americans, their culture is directly affected by similar but less extreme factors.

Racially not so much, and I was comparing african-americans and anglo-americans.Well, there is a significant difference between African-Americans and Africans.

Most of them want to be rappers and ballers instead of scientists and CEO's. That's the major problem.

People of african heritage living in the north western world are equal to white ones, being we're all violent bad-asses when we get the chance, gotta thank the gaming for crime not being higher
But, looking at the data in the OP, people of african heritage living in the western world are far more violent.
I don't see how it can be explained by poverty alone.

It is poverty, lack of education, one parent household, gangs and gun loving.Dilbert_X wrote:

An african-american boy raised in a good family environment with enough money is as violent as a white boy in the the same conditions. Race as a scapegoat should be buried like all the Lombroso theories failed to be proven.

Who can't have guns? They are still legal in most places.
Are you saying if we get rid of the black people that gun violence would be solved?
I'm getting the feeling after your bizzarre burger king post and this one that you don't care for black people?

Well if we're talking about Black crime.
The weird thing is even if Gangs make tons of money, They really can't do what you or I could do with it. The illegal money doesn't have the same value as legit money in this country. So if say a drug dealer makes 50k clear a year, he's still going to have to live in a poverty ridden area and way below his means to avoid getting caught.
So technically even though they are making a decent amount of money, they really don't have any long term goals or anything to make themselves want to improve or improve there area.
I'm saying them and they as a generalization of POORER people who live off of ill gotten money.
