    He doesn't offend me. Maybe if one is offended then one is too sensitive.

    I don't get offended but I am amused by your double standards and the fact that you pretend that you are against racism but it is clearly evident that there is only certain types of racism that you are against

    Do you really want to go down that road? Shall we go down memory lane?

    Flail away. Do you think someone saying that white people are potential humans if they could only evolve..... Are you okay with that too and going to make excuses for it?

    The safer route for you would be to just try to go after me. So let it rip. Seething with impotent rage

    My highlighting your double standards comment is unrelated to this thread.

    Yes crime impoverishes communities and in turn the populations who live there because jobs and opportunties leave.

    When you decided to butt into the conversation your buddy was defending farrakhan's statement that

    " Whites are potential humans if they would evolve "

    By his defending and making excuses for it is evident that he has no problem with such a statement. Do you think something like that's okay?

    Yeah, the murder/manslaughter thing is bad looking. But given that every other crime listed there has the majority of arrests being for white people....

    White people represent 60 percent of the population.

    that means 60 percent of all crimes SHOULD be white related.

    And thing less or more than their population percentage is either under represented or over represented.

    Like for example...in China. 100 percent of the crime is from Chinese people.

    lol

    Thanks for the unnecessary 4th grade level math lesson. The salient question being why is the rate of crime higher among blacks? Are they inherently prone to criminal acts or is there something else going on?

    We've gone over this. They are poor and have adopted and embraced a very shitty culture of which progressives coddle and increase the sense of entitlement.

    So it's not about skin color. It's about black CULTURE in America.

    Good decisions and being a productive part of society is something that starts when you are a child. it has NOTHING to do with past discrimination. NOTHING to do with past atrocities. NOTHING to do with inherited wealth. It starts at the individual making smart decisions and being a positive member of society.

    Either be a productive member of society or face the consequences of piss poor decisions and actions.

    Well you can remember me posting that. Do you think not having reoffended for almost 20 years might count for something?

    I have always been relatively poor. Being poor does not excuse the choice to commit crimes.

    Doesn't matter. Every demographic has poor people. And we live in a system that allows those who work hard and make smart life choices have the ability to not be poor. And until they succeed we have social services for them to lean on. The "why are they poor" is non consequential.

    I grew up poor. I am no longer poor. I didn't need to ask "why am I poor"? I just set goals had a plan and busted ass.

    Wow, a whole 2 crimes where black people are the majority of arrests.

    Vs...let's see here....18 crimes where white people are the majority. Interestingly enough, the "under 18 arrests" category has blacks and whites almost neck-in-neck for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter.

    Judging by the arrests table, I'd say that averages out almost perfectly.

    They are only 13 percent of the population for god sake.

    Lol. The amount of cope you are having over this objective reality is incredible.
