    As you can see blacks who tend to be liberals commit a huge amount of crime , especially when you consider they only make up about 14 percent of the population.
    One has to ask why ? is it economic or social upbringing , perhaps cultural or just natural or is it a liberal thing ?Maybe a combination of reasons .

    REMEMBER:
    Sub Saharan peoples did not
    cohabitate with Neanderthal as
    did peoples from the Middle East
    and through out Eurasia!
    Even to the furthest Asia as can be imagined.

    Black People lack the
    Neanderthal Genome.

    it's the white slave owner gene, it was passed down, the criminal whites and blacks come from the same bloodline

    white and black racists also come from this bloodline

    They've been systematically disenfranchised. Enabled to the dissolution which leads to criminal behaviour.

    Beware the 'friend' who offers you ease.

    Because people keep making excuses and as long as they do African American society will never reform.

    Because they're more likely to be living crammed into an impoverished ghetto where crime is the norm. White people are more prone to crime in such conditions as well, its just that theres relatively less of us stuck there.

    Do you have any evidence of this?

    I would rather hear a hard truth than a comfortable lie but it sounds like you are reposing in comfort here.

    Like pretty much any socio-economic effect, it's going to be a combination of factors and varying in different times and places.

    Poverty (specifically relative poverty) is undeniably a significant factor, not necessarily directly but in how it can interact with many others. I'm in the UK, where we have fewer black people (though probably more central Asians) and somewhat less stratified communities. I've spent time in several poor areas around the country and they all suffer the same kind of issues (including crime) regardless of the racial make-up of the community.

    One key problem is the sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, where a particular group of people (be it by race, location or whatever) are presumed to be a risk (if only subconsciously) and therefore less likely to get work, education or other support, maintaining the generational poverty and leading those people in less favourable directions as the only viable option.

    I think a key statistical fact to consider is that the fact more violent crime is committed by African Americans doesn't mean that most African Americans commit violent crimes. The majority don't, so making any kind of assumption based on their skin colour or background is unfair and unproductive.

    Yea, single parent households tend to fall below the poverty line. People living in poverty are more likely to commit crime.

    Not quite. Poverty doesn't cause crime .. neither does 'overcrowding'. Many millions live in far worse conditions and don't engage in crime.

    They do it to piss off and frustrate white nationalist bigots who can't do squat to stop them, or convince the rest of us that higher melanin levels and thicker lips, and longer *******s are the reason they lose their self control and decency standards. how's that blood pressure, Annoying thing? Its working, isn't it!

    Criminal behavior is a learned behavior, so if you grow up in a place where crime is common, the chances are that you will be committing crimes too. Same is true regardless of skin color. in US a high percentage of blacks grow up in high crime neighborhoods, so the out come is predictable. And yes, such neighborhoods are typically poor urban neighborhoods.

    The Genetics of Criminality
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/criminal-behavior#:~:text=Interrelated factors include poverty, poor,self-esteem, and impulsivity.
    Criminal behavior, particularly violent and antisocial behavior, is considered to be a major social problem with complex causes. It is known that a myriad of environmental, social, and psychological factors are associated with increased risk of convictions for this type of criminality. Interrelated factors include poverty, poor housing, high levels of social inequality in society, low educational attainment, poor diet, low self-esteem, and impulsivity. However, committing at least one criminal offense is almost normal for young males, with approximately one-third having a criminal conviction by age 30 in the United Kingdom.



    There are countless studies. Here is one from LE
    https://www.police1.com/corrections...t-lead-to-criminal-behavior-QKg2lpUaZbdKL1ot/

    Anti-social values: This is also known as criminal thinking. It includes criminal rationalization or the belief that their criminal behavior was justified. Individuals possessing this trait often blame others for their negative behavior, and show a lack of remorse.

    Criminal Peers: Individuals with this trait often have peers that are associated with criminal activities. Most are often involved with substance abuse including drugs or alcohol. Peer influence often persuades the individual to engage in criminal behavior. They will also typically present with a lack of pro-social community involvement.

    Anti-social personality: These traits often include atypical behavior conducted prior to the age of fifteen and can include, running away, skipping school, fighting, possessing weapons, lying, stealing and damage to either animals or property.

    Dysfunctional family: One of the most common traits includes a lack of family support, both emotionally and otherwise. An individual’s family lacks the ability to problem solve and often is unable to communicate effectively. Family members often don’t possess the ability to express emotions in an appropriate manner. More often than not, they are also involved with criminal activity.

    Low self-control: This involves one’s ability to control temperament and impulsivity. People that carry this trait often do things that they didn’t plan, and will fail to think before acting. The mindset is of the here and now, and not on the consequences of the behavior.

    Substance abuse: The use of drugs or alcohol that significantly affect one’s ability to engage in a successful and productive lifestyle. There is often an increased tolerance to substances, in addition to an inability to stop use.

    When you say poverty and overcrowding dont cause crime, is that in the technical sense that the criminal still chooses to violate the law, or are you refuting the commonly accepted understanding that poverty and overcrowding are two factors that increase the liklihood that a person will choose to become a criminal? Because in the macro, or statistically speaking, thats no different to me than causal. Or maybe I should say contribatory. Certainly they 'cause' an increase in liklihood of crime. While also certainly the individual is still responsible for their criminal acts regardless of environmental factors, in the context of crime reduction, those environmental factors are still relevent.

    I just love how some of you so called progressive liberals.... will not hesitate to engage into a racist diatribe ......

    But you think it is okay because you are "mocking" your political opposition....

    This is why no reasonable people take your complaints too terribly seriously.

    And it's funny how not one of your social justice warrior buddies on this board who see racism in every cloud and in a bowl of Cheerios..... Will remotely imagine rebuking you in any form for expressing it.
