Why Blacks Commit More Crime Than Whites

Here is a short video I came across. While it is unintentional, I believe it does goes a long way to explaining why blacks commit more crimes than white people.

This is not a troll thread.

The video illustrates some history of how blacks have been treated in America, and the legislation that addresses black people.

This video is 5 and half minutes long.

As usual, please keep your comments to the video.

 

its called poverty, poor education, and poor role models.

 

Blacks were more impoverished, more poorly educated, and arguably had less role models during the 40's and 50's. They also faced a lot more racism than they do now. They committed less crime, then.

We can blame the progressive social revolution of the 1960's for the increased black crime rate.

 

Again, please watch the video and make your comments about the video.

Please do not derail this thread.

 

Democrats run black neighborhoods all across the country, blacks vote for Democrats 90% of the time... I think I see a problem there.

The video starts with events that nobody alive today was old enough to do anything about.

 

But much of that stuff does have recriminations for today, such as being disproportionately being arrested for illicit drugs.

 

Not selling, using, or possessing "illicit drugs" leads to a 100% success rate of not being arrested for said "illicit drugs"

Just a suggestion.

 

How about not making illicit drugs illegal because white people hate blacks?

 

no, they had much better role models back then.

 

poverty, poor education, bad role models.

and red-lining.

 

I have no problem with the concept of legalizing drugs. With that being said, the notion that they are illegal because "white people hate blacks" is a stretch in logic to say the least. I'd imagine you will say something relative to marijuana becoming illegal was a response to black use, but the reality is that the entirety of the civilized world also made marijuana and all other drugs illegal. To attribute that to racism really doesn't make sense.

 

Are you implying that the drug war was created to specifically and only target blacks?

When you say things like that a lot of people including myself completely dismiss the calls for racism.

The frustrating thing about the video is that the only racist thing it talks about in the last 80 years is the drug war. I completely disagree with that being a racial occurrence.

 

The video does not explain why blacks commit more crime. As far as drugs go they are illegal.....sorry....and it isn't because of race.

 

Here's a documentary on it: It is 42 minutes long from the History Channel about how many drugs became illegal.

So no, I'm not trolling.

 

Actually, yes it does. Because many laws were made to explicitly target blacks, and early on, making blacks pretty much illegal themselves.

So when you're a person who is nothing more than a property, why wouldn't you and your people be the cause of most crime in America?

if you're going to be so reduced in value, then why should people care about the system of law that is meant to oppress them?

 

Multiple studies have shown that, while blacks and whites use and sell drugs at similar rates, blacks are far more likely to be arrested for drug crimes and far more likely to be sent to jail after they are arrested.

Intended or not, the racial bias of the drug war's implementation is undeniable.

 

It was almost entirely objective and true up to the point the war on drugs was brought up forward. In all of the previous legislative and judicial acts cited, there were clear racist motivations in the language. There is no such clear language pertaining to current justice under the law, nowhere in America, not in the war on drugs or anything else. This is conspiracy stuff and should be moved to the appropriate section.

 

Yes, I get that but the flaw in that logic is it is based on conditions many years ago. Now that things have changed why do blacks still commit more crime?

I believe if you look beyond those stats you will see poor people are more likely to go to jail. Being able to afford a lawyer means a lot.

 

Right now we have more affirmative act more support for households not in tact and more support for poverty than ever yet racism is getting worse the black crime rate is going up there is more poverty ever and more households that are not in tact especially among the black community.

Reverse racism is not working. In they eyes of the Government every able man and woman should be the same no matter what the race.

 

You can't really draw conclusions just by looking at statistics based on skin color.

Spot on! Why do some folks think nothing has changed since the 1800's?

 

Why do you think things have changed?

how do you know that these laws that are passed are not targeted specifically to curtail black behavior?

Just because some things are in the past doesn't mean they still aren't around with us today.

We may not have institutionalized racism any more,l but racism never really goes away. People just use tricky language to hide it.

 

OK then, quote one modern law that mentions skin color.....

 

It's called what liberals have done to blacks. How about no fathers in the home? How about the government telling young people that it's not their fault? How about the system letting people of twenty, thirty times until they commit a truly horrible crime? How about assuring young people that there is no hope?

Other crimes like homicide do not back the theory that laws are "racist".
