    I work with, as you say, Those people". I live around them. They are my neighbors. I grew up playing with them. They were my best friends. You know poop. But I don't live in fantasy land and ignore statistics either. I won't ignore reality like many do or sugar coat it.

    And the U.S. will decline as well. We'll all have to get used to that too. I'm glad you're so excited. How interesting you applaud it all.

    But I will be behind a gated community. I already am. I'm sad that when I'm old those walls will be much higher.

    There is a difference between being over represented and the actual number of crimes committed by blacks. That is why I gave you the DOJ statistics on that.

    As long as American mental health care refuses to treat the unconscious mind directly, mental illness will be prevalent and increasing. Mental illness is actually something that can be learned. It is basically disordered perceptions or responses. It's easiest to grasp as the wrong instincts having control for one reason or another as stimuli.

    By presenting the right reason to the correct instinct, most often the person will feel better and choose to first use that with its associated instincts and stimuli that invokes much more compatible, enjoyable perception of existence.

    The unconscious cannot reason but if another person understands the issues they can provide the reasoning and invoke the instincts in order to demonstrate the process, but only if the erroneously conditioned conscious mind is off to the side. Once that demonstration is appreciated, a certain amount of reinforcement makes it the dominant pattern for the conscious mind.

    That is the basis for this proposed treatment.

    If the U.S. declines, it would be people like you and not your former friends.

    Blacks are approx. 15% of the population yet account for approx. 80% of all violent crime, up to and including homicide with guns. There is a problem in black society.

    Nope. It's not. Nor is the fact that blacks are by far and away more likely to rape.

    Again, you are overreacting. The actual number of crimes, as a percentage, is around 54%, not 80%. There is a higher incidence with blacks involved with or committing a crime, but at the same time, crime has been reduced about 48% from 1991 to 2011.

    you have to look at all the figures and cherry pick and make up numbers in your post.

    13 per cent of Americans are black, according to the latest estimates from the US Census Bureau.
    According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008.

    Blacks were disproportionately likely to commit homicide.
    In 2008 the offending rate for blacks was seven times higher than for whites.

    There is a problem with blacks in the US.

    a long legacy of discrimination, poverty, poor education, poor housing, can do that to a community

    Uh Aleks, Trump is on the record about not having a wall with Canada. OK for an attempt at levity, but nowhere near the truth.

    "As remains the case today, blacks in the past were overrepre(*)sented among those arrested and imprisoned. In urban areas in 1967, blacks were 17 times more likely than whites to be arrested for robbery. In 1980 blacks comprised about one-eighth of the population but were half of all those arrested for murder, rape and robbery, according to FBI data. And they were between one-fourth and one-third of all those arrested for crimes such as burglary, auto theft and aggravated assault.


    Today blacks are about 13 percent of the population and continue to be responsible for an inordinate amount of crime. Between 1976 and 2005 blacks com(*)mitted more than half of all murders in the United States. The black arrest rate for most offenses — including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes — is still typically two to three times their representation in the population.

    Blacks as a group are also overrepresented among persons arrested for so-called white-collar crimes such as counterfeiting, fraud and embezzlement. And blaming this decades-long, well-documented trend on racist cops, prosecutors, judges, sentencing guidelines and drug laws doesn’t cut it as a plausible explanation"

    still doesn't justify your 80% figure.

    All crimes bro. 80% of all crimes, not merely gun or violent crime. Notwithstanding, the US doesn't have a problem with guns, they have a problem with blacks + guns + people in denial. Quite a few of those here.

    Illegal aliens from Mexico come here poor, unable to speak English. First generation Mexican children couldn't hold a candle to American born blacks in regard to poverty and crime.
    It is a black American culture problem. Frequently, American blacks succeed, even from disadvantaged backgrounds. But as a whole, they have an internal problem all the money and legislature in the world can't solve.
    It is an internal problem requiring an internal solution.

    Stop making excuses for their killing and raping bro. You actually keep these people from ever progressing by doing that.

    The violently mentally ill are another good reason to prepare, practice and protect oneself with a weapon.

    That goes back to 1965 when the guy who gave America the Ford Edsel gave the U.S. military the M-16.

    Black lives patently do not matter. Why? Because if black lives mattered, blacks would not be murdering so many blacks annually. That is why blacks lives do not matter to blacks. Blacks go silent on that and so do cuckolding whites, they are only interested in a black life when some punk gets his ass shot for attacking a white cop. Only then do black lives matter.

    Ah, I see what you did there. You changed the original statement, "spent the last 1000 years fighting", to "have fought within the past 1000 years". Sneaky.
