why are blacks more likely to commit crimes ?

Exactly the outcome you'd expect when 'spoiling the child'. And the designers of this plan think you're too stupid to notice.

 

gang culture does have a negative effect on many, agree there

 

Feel free to debunk their claims.
You’re argument from intuition falls extremely short.

 

"Intuition"? No Dude ... millions upon millions of very poor people who don't do crime.

I realise you WANT poverty to be the cause. Perhaps because you want to avoid a truth which doesn't support your issues with race?

 

I’d be interested in what ever studies you can provide. By the way, you realize that poverty correlating with crime wouldn’t preclude millions upon millions of people from not being criminals, yes?

 

The world is teeming with poor people. People MUCH poorer than your American 'poor'. They're not doing more crime than their wealthier neighbours .. and in fact most studies indicate they do less. Crime is just too risky, in an already very precarious existence.

Sorry Bro, but you're plum out of luck with this nonsense theory.

 

I’ve provided a meta-analysis of 34 studies that support my argument.
You’ve provided “Trust me bro.”

Your argument is soft as baby ****.

 

I would have to say that for whatever reason they've failed to follow the path that virtually every other minority has. Ironically, the Smithsonian Museum of African American Culture and History published a sure fire recipe that has enabled virtually ever other minority to advance. But they label "white culture" to discourage blacks from following it:

 

Is that real? I'd like to reiterate, our culture and those values outlined above, is what allowed our wonderful advancement in all field. Asians have a higher IQ so why isn't their culture as productive and inventive as ours?

 

And were those studies global? If not, it doesn't even qualify as sort-of-science.

 

These 'white' values are identical to Asian values.

I think your Smithsonian Musuem of BS is full of BS.

 

You missed the point. Those values are universal to successful people of any race or ethnicity. But, by calling them "white" Smithsonian disparages them in the view of the people that need them most.

 

No, I got that point. I used Asians as an example of how universal they are.

And yes, you can see their purpose clearly. They don't WANT black people to succeed.

 

I think there are multiple reasons, some you did not include in your poll.

One could say economic disparity but the question becomes, why is there an economic disparity.

The major component I think is failure to form family units... Well why is that more common in black communities than others? It's a feedback loop coupled with a self fulfilling prophecy.

It started all the way back to when slavery was linked to race. That is the very beginning of it. The civil war the 14th amendment all the way up until the civil rights era. There are people alive today that experienced segregation and integration and some of the awful things that happened in those times. So we get to hear first hand accounts. Also we have politicians that delight in poking at that wound. We also hear about this rampant white supremacy that exists all around. Most people are playing the game of life with the deck stacked against them.

It's easy to say things out of your control are the reason why you were dealt a shitty hand.

Blacks face higher instance of victimhood of crime as well so it's clearly socioeconomic, cultural, I'm not saying black culture just general American culture.

 

Lack of Diversity

 

you bring up a good point, it's not just about being poor, it's about being poor while others are around you that have more and you feel your being denied the same opportunities for whatever reasons - be it "minorities stealing my jobs", ect....

 

Every person who chooses crime (and it's always a choice) has a 'reason'.

 

yep, rich or poor that is true

 

Maybe they are just more likely to get caught. White collar crimes don't raise an eyebrow with law enforcement and companies are too quick to cover them up to avoid the bad publicity.

 

I’m pretty sure we tend to notice murder, rape, robbery, burglary, and more dangerous crimes over less interesting white collar crimes. They do raise an eyebrow, the police take white collar crimes seriously.

 

True.. I watched convicts for the state prison system a couple of years and only one con ever fessed up to he was just rotten.

 

They're just stupid.. also when I worked in corrections, we had a saying "If the only crime on the books was stupidity, the same people would be locked up".

 

Lack of inventiveness and initiative.. their culture discourages it.
