What Is The Underlying Cause Of Astronomically High Black Crime Rates?

This is what I have found alot. Black people who cut themselves off from "White America" are not often the middle class and the upper middle class. It is often the poor. It is often the hateful and the criminals who cut themselves off from "White America".

Alot of Black people who are hard-working, civilized, and decent are not the ones who would cut themselves off from the rest of "White America", because despite history, many of these Black people want to have safe places to live. Many Black people are aware that there aren't alot of places that are predominantly Black and safe at the same time. They exist, but not in large numbers at all. For this reason, many Blacks are willing to live in predominantly White areas. The Blacks who live in predominantly White areas are often trying to flee the criminal elements and bad influences. My father is Black, and he lived in a Black neighborhood in his childhood. He would never raise me there because he feels that if I had grown up there, I would have had to fight to survive. I would have been exposed to drug dealers and dead bodies. His neighborhood and his school would have nothing to offer me or him but trouble.

Segregation wouldn't really solve the crime problem for Blacks because of this reason: Nihilism among many poor Black people is a part of it. If you want to solve the crime problem, the mentality has to change. Black people who often don't have a nihilist mentality will not committ crimes and those are the persons who don't want to live around the criminals that plague many Black communities. You have two groups of Black people: Civilized, decent Black people, and then you have the criminals. Decent, civilized Black people are running from the criminals. They don't want to be around them, and they don't want their children around them.

 

Alot of it has to do with the social structure. If people are looking out for one another and family is of great importance, and the church also being a factor, then crime will be lower.

 

One island I have been to in the Bahamas has a population of a little over 2,000, but over a dozen little, multi-colored churches of all denominations. Yes, you can walk the streets at night, it is almost as if the island is too small for the blacks to act like they do in Detroit or Cleveland. Everybody sees everything, which prohibits criminal behavior.

 

It is what I mentioned before. People are looking out for each other and watching each other's back. Such is not as common in the USA.

 

Why would we not be able to expect people to be good, simply for the sake of morals, if they are not in official poverty?

 

People are people. People will behave badly if they feel they have nothing to lose and couldn't care less about the consequences. This crosses all racial lines.

 

What about a perspective that claims, people would not need to be bad, if they could pursue Happiness while not in official poverty, instead.

 

Not all criminals are in poverty.

 

True. Good example is Enron.

 

Their only excuse is that official poverty still exists in our republic.

 

Poverty is just an excuse, not the actual cause. Poverty doesn't explain non-property crimes. Poverty doesn't explain the nearly half of all criminals who fall above the poverty line.

 

Hay why don’t you Experts Impress the OP of what you’re going to do … other than Talk>

 

In my opinion, poverty explains almost everything in any political-economy where economic discrimination can be both legal and socially acceptable.

 

In my case, I am practicing not judging women by the clothes they don't wear, on the internet. I hope it ports well to real life.

 

It all starts with education. The roots of alot of criminal behavior can be traced back to the slave days.

This video, the person is trying to at least explain things as best as he knows, and he wants things to get better.

 

Isn't Ironic that the people who advocate education for one entire Race of People display the most ignorance on this forum?

 

What is that particular person ignorant on?

 

Let me know if the brush isn't Broad enough for you ...

Get The Point!

 

Ok. Everyone needs to be educated on violence and how to stop it. I think the person who was making this video, though trying to make things better, still has some things to learn.

 

Why is the concept of race even important to the sole surviving species of the homo genus?

 

Great video....thanks! Ya....he gets it. He sees that placing one's racial 'identity' and racial 'culture' ahead of objective reasoning is self-defeating.

 

It is important to those seeking power.

 

Falling for that trick more than thrice should be considered a vice.

 

Everyone that clicked low intelligence, needs to take a freaking I.Q. Test themselves. Here I thought we were living in the 21st century and we still have people that believe I.Q. somehow relates to the high crime rate among minorities. First the problem stems primarily from poverty. High poverty results in higher episodes of drug use, increased gang activity, and increased criminal activity in general. If we eliminate poverty, we could eliminate 90% of the crime in the world. Now the other 10%, well rich men don't rob house or people, they rob corporations.

 

I still believe it is a simple moral failure that could be corrected by being moral enough to bear true witness to our own laws, simply because our Founding Fathers were that good, and guys can be cool like that.
