    It was NOT their choice.

    Did you miss the 250 yrs of slavery, discrimination, segregation, redlining, etc?
    It was imposed upon them.

    Those things led to no jobs, poor education, no access to loans.
    No matter how poor society makes people, they still will eat, seek shelter, and look to clothe. By any means possible.

    You realize, I hope, that throughout human history all people have been enslaved at one time or another. In the U,S, there have even been black slave owners of black slaves.

    Speaking of representation, I took some time to go to the FBI database, this one is only from 2019 but that's not that long ago. Going by this arrest table, you'll notice how many crimes have majority arrests for white person vs. black people.

    If the population were 100 percent white people...without using your fingers...tell me what percentage of crime would be committed by white people?

    This is grossly over expected representation.

    It's kinda hard for one group to point a finger at another when they are the ones that commit the most overall crime.

    It's also common knowledge that poverty doesn't cause crime. Again, correlation does NOT EQUAL causation.....unless you can show me how having less money forces you to commit a crime.

    Damn, imagine how much better this response would be if you actually included some context.

    But since you wanna play that game, let me take that and highlight the almost 70% of arrests for rape being white people.

    Rape ??? The only time they worry about rape is when a transgender does it.

    "Poverty leads to higher crime rates".....

    Since you're keeping track you should also mention the fact that it's been almost 20 years since I have been in trouble.

    So yes I probably do know more about the system and that life than you do.

    I also know being poor was never an excuse to commit any crime.

    He didn't say that they were "uncivilized" he said that they were unevolved to the point that they were not quite human.

    You do understand that he can be wrong and the things that you are trying to derail the conversation towards, can both be wrong at the same time, right?

    And if those white males committed crimes at the same rates as black males how many more crimes would be committed in this country? Focus on the rates of crimes amongst the groups especially violent crimes which I noted you desperate conflate with non-violent crimes. Again our crimes rates would drop EXPONENTIALLY if blacks committed crime at the same rates as whites and THAT is why they fail to succeed as a society and as a community. It's not about the white man and slavery of 150 years ago.

    Well only 13 percent of the population is black. So while yes, White people are slightly over represented in this one category(rape) by 9 percent. (I don't like that) Blacks are overrepresented by 13 percent their expect amount based off of population percentage.

    But you know what you glossed right over to get to rape? lol

    A little thing called MURDER and NONNEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER!
    upload_2023-6-28_20-28-50.png

    What's the population of black people in America again? Oh right! I had already stated it was 13 percent. Hrmmm.

    13 percent of the population are responsible for 51.2 percent of the murders/manslaughters here in America...

    Thanks for providing evidence of truth to the 13/50 meme!

    They are also up there for prostitution/trafficking...and weapons possession as well as robbery...so they will shoot you, after they rob you. And then traffic your daughters. How swell!

    (You probably shouldn't have posted that link)

    I'm surprised to see you making blatant excuses for a racist..... Actually that's a bit of sarcasm because I have seen that racism is okay with you as long as it's coming from a minority member directed towards white people.

    The man literally said..... Whites are potential humans if they would only evolve.

    So he is calling them subhuman which is the same exact sort of rhetoric we saw in Nazi Germany and during the slavery era.

    If you really want to be the anti-racist that you claim that you are you would actually be against all forms of racism equally

    No need to worry. Whites run every thing, they're not going to be put into camps anytime soon.

    You can almost hear Obama laughing.
    Maybe a distant tackle from the vice president?

    So you think of Farrakhan would have said that black people are potential humans If only They would evolve that that would be okay?
