    Political correctness strikes again. It continues to suppress our ability to address these blatant problems among Black youth. And it appears the police tried to minimize the scope of it.

    Crime among Black youth is a big problem. Political correctness is also a problem. It's time for a common sense approach. We have to be able to discuss these things without all the charges of racism and hysteria. These problems are so serious to excuse and diminish.

    This is crime, not youthful pranks; real, serious crime and it's getting worse.

    More and more, people are speaking out against political correctness and it's effect on our ability to address our problems head on.

    Sure, as soon as the black community in Baltimore apologizes for this violent attack.

    I read a story yesterday on ABC website that gave the impression it would be talking about ALL race crimes. The teaser was something like "race crimes up since Obama took office." The entire story --- all of it --- was about white supremacists groups and neo nazis. Not one word about black on white crime. Nothing. It's like none of this stuff is even happening. These black kids are running rampant and the only black politician or black spokesman to address this is the Mayor of Philidelphia (?) Nutter.

    If the Black community doesn't get this trend reversed, I'm afraid Whites may start lashing out back at them and then the police will have even more overwhelming them. I don't want that. It's not a solution....

    I wish the Black leaders would speak out on this. Seems like only a few like Mayor Nutter and Bill Cosby do - the latter being lambasted by his own people, as if he were a traitor. That confirms to me that Black community doesn't want to take responsibility or admit there's even a problem. No, they seem to want to excuse it.

    You know what the best correlation for crime is? It's not race; it's socioeconomic status.

    Self inflicted poverty causes people to gather in mobs and violently attack innocent strangers of another race?

    What, exactly, is the difference between self-inflicted poverty and poverty that's not self-inflicted?

    It's terrible to see this kind of violence. Racism could be a very strong motivator for these people but I think there is a different root problem for many of these cases. Poverty. When you're dirt poor and can't even afford enough food to survive, what do you do? Most people, just because you are built to survive, will end up resorting to anything. There is power in numbers and they can take much more from innocent people if they have a strong pack.

    Their targets are most likely chosen purely because they are white. In some cases these are just hate crimes and there is no logical reason besides racism. But in many cases these people band together to survive. Makes sense, right?

    So it's a complicated problem and because you can't just magically make people have a higher standard of living the only solution is ramping up law enforcement and awareness. And try to fix the economy asap..

    Dropping out because "school ain't cool", the expensive, hungry results of playing pregnancy roulette, drug/alcohol abuse, gangs ...you know, irresponsible behaviors that most often lead to "self inflicted" poverty....

    A concept new to you?

    You mean, like being born in an area with underfunded schools and support systems?

    This is just the preluide o what the Brown Shirts accomplished for Hitler in 1937.
    What we see is the Liberals formenting anti-wall street propaganda while setting up the country for a grass roots revolution after the election.


    Ides of Germany in 1933.


    Half the nation is a family ofillegitimate children today, as Single mother and Welfare are raising violent criminals in our midst:

    I'm not sure what qualifies as a disability in your book. Maybe you're just making excuses.

    You have to realize that getting a job isn't as easy as 1 2 3, especially in many cities. Even with a high school education. We are in a recession and it could get a whole lot worse.

    Don't you think some sort of luck and other environmental factors are involved? Perhaps they were born into poverty and had to resort to crime to survive because otherwise they would starve? What's happening is very wrong but to dismiss these people with 100% of the blame for being poor is a bit ridiculous.

    People are poor because their women stopped marrying and have been having children out of wedlock.
    The successful half of America is doing the same traditional things that family values dictate.


    COMING APART
    The State of White America, 1960-2010
    By Charles Murray

    Charles Murray, the influential conservative scholar and provocateur, believes this story is wrong.
    In his new book, “Coming Apart,” Murray argues the white blue collar working class is no longer part of a virtuous silent majority.
    Instead, beginning in the early 1960s, it has become increasingly alienated from what Murray calls “the founding virtues” of civic life.
    “Our nation is coming apart at the seams,” Murray warns — “not ethnic seams, but the seams of class.”


    Read this in "Coming Apart," a recent study of the two Americas:

    Notice the implicit misogyny in the statement, "their women stopped marrying and having children out of wedlock."

    The problem of getting a job started when Feminism insisted that women join the Wrok Force.
    This doubled the Labor Pool.

    The LAW of economic supply and demand forced wages in half over the last 50 years, and have removed the much needed spending power of the Unskilled Labor because the Min Wage was held down.

    Min Wages doubled every 10 years from 1940 on until the Sexual Revolution of the "60's.




    NOTE:

    1940 = $.25

    1950 = $.50

    1960 = $1.00

    1970 = did NOT double to $2.00 but thereafter lagged the rising prices in the economy and the doubling of wages for skilled labor and union members.

    Today, the min wage ought be 414/hoir and a man ought be able to support a family right out of high school.
    This is why the undercalss does not marry and why welfare is such a good deal instead.

    That certainly increases the chances of one falling into or staying in poverty, but it is not the sole reason. Maybe the greatest. But even if our values/morals were good as gold there would still be poor people for many other reasons. You are generalizing all of the poor.

    Ever since minimum wage has been enacted there has been an increasing amount of unemployment among certain races, most notably with the male black youth.

    I don't have the exact numbers, but I'm assuming its pretty easy to look up to clarify. I could also look through my book if you need me to.

    This has less to do with socio-economic status..since we're paying for their entitlement checks, and more to do with hatred of whites due to this ginned up racial matters with Holder and Obama and other cultural marxists. These people in the highest levels of our government and education are waiting for whites to get sick and tired of being run over in this fashion and start to fight back. AT WHICH TIME, the race war will be blamed on white conservative racist male tea partiers.

    Proof that SES isn't the overwhelmingly strongest correlation for crime?

    Plus, eventually that relationship is bound to wane off. What happens when it hits $32 an hour, or $62 an hour? Small businesses wouldn't be able to operate or employ many workers at all. Many would raise prices to accommodate all of the money being spent to keep workers around. It's impossible to keep doubling the minimum wage every 10 years, even every 20 years..that is bound to fail in future generations.

    Eventually people would make more at the age of 16 than a college educated worker! 32 bucks an hour, 40 hours a week, ends up with $66560 in one year. 62 bucks an hour is over $120,000. That isn't realistic.

    And Dave, you never answered my question...does poverty, self inflicted or otherwise, inspire people to gather in mobs and violently attack innocent strangers of another race?
