Single parent households, terrible parenting, terrible schools and overall lack of personal accountability in the community. As to why black people commit crime disproportionately, it's a cultural thing that many of them are trapped in. Hard to escape though, if you have no dad, and no adequate schooling. Just because a black sheriff said it doesn't mean it wasn't racist, stupid, and wrong. Single Parent households, terrible schools have little to nothing to do with black people's culture, that's a result of white culture. Remember it was white culture that trafficked them to the US, stripped them of their language and culture, then killed them if they learned to read, write, swim, etc... It was white culture that segregated them, put them in the crappiest places they could (by legally and illegally forbidding them from living places, and confiscating their land), As for crime statistics, you have to be pretty gawddamn dense to think they paint an accurate picture of who's committing crimes It would lead you to think things like rich white people don't do cocaine, when we know they consume more than their fair share. Like the video I posted earlier where he says "black people don't carry spring assisted knives more than white people", but if you looked at BPD's booking sheets you'd swear they all do. That's because if you have a white guy walking down the street and a black guy walking down the street, both with a knife, only one of them is going to get stopped unconstitutionally, violated again when he is searched, then if he stands up for his rights and tries to inform the officer he's violating the law, he get's an asswhoopin and arrested for resisting arrest (for the knife the cop didn't know about until violating his constitutional rights 2x). If by the off chance the cop does stop and arrest the white guy, it's far more likely the cop gets a reprimand and the guy's case gets dismissed. Meanwhile the black guy is looking at a longer sentence and no defender to point out his rights were violated multiple times invalidating the arrest. White culture destroyed black culture, murdered anyone who tried to bring it back, segregated black people, abused them, stole from them, denied them their rights, imprisoned their fathers, still segregating their education, and as I showed in Milwaukee, still segregating cities, racist policing, and so much more crap... It's certainly a culture issue, but it's white culture that's the problem. | ||

The ties are to the old Ukrainian government, which the article says was pro-Russian but that's only half true. Mostly it's just a corrupt mess that was willing to take Russian money. Trump does say some bizarre things about NATO, but at the least I think the "everyone should pay their fair share" is his own sentiment. It doesn't sound like a foreign talking point. | ||

And beacuse its not an issue for white people white people don't feel any need to change their culture so nothing changes and it just keeps getting worse for black people. Congrats we've figured out racism everyone. We can stop talking about why this keeps happening in america now. | ||

Instead we all pretend like they aren't being racist, rather than admit that more than any old youtube video of people chanting for dead cops in NYC, it is those people who are standing in the way of progress, they are the reason people are resorting to "riots" and protests, they are the main obstacle preventing us from not having to talk about this. The camps are where they are, the people who are supposed to be seeing this down the line and keeping it honest are the people who claim to want to protect the constitution and constitutional rights of Americans. If they honestly looked at city after city where the DOJ is finding that police departments habitually violate people's rights it should be a no brainer. What's preventing them from getting involved decades ago is racism (white supremacy really), plain and simple. | ||

There is more to these statistics that meets the eye. If we are going to use these simply stated, no-context numbers as parts of our arguments. | ||

Acording to you black people problems are beacuse of white people and beacuse its not a white person problem it won't get fixed. Burning down black communities and pissing off white people doesn't change the problem it just makes black people look wors and feed into the stories racists say to stop progress. | ||

How many black owned businesses do you think are getting burned down in those communities? We had decades of people not "burning down black communities (or just white people anyway) and pissing off white people" It doesn't work any better at all. That's just a story people tell themselves, usually to make excuses for their racists peers. EDIT: I know people have a short memory, but people were saying things like "racism is over we have a black AG and President" not long ago at all. People routinely dismissed the notion that police were often lying in their reports, that they were regularly violating people's rights, that police brutality was still happening and disproportionately to poor and black people, and many other things that people are pretending have always been accepted as common knowledge. That's not a result of people politely requesting white America do something about the rampant violation of PoC's rights. That's a result of shoving it in their face over and over at every level of engagement from polite to obnoxious to violent. | ||

Not sure about the East. Not counting the tendencies of immigrants to congregate and form communities, of course. True about our First Nations issues. On a related note I remember answering a census question that im a Transgender Caucasian Black First Nations Jedi Kbight minority. Maybe its assholes like me are the reason that Canada doesn't have as accurate data about race relations. I guess its just white privilege coming through by rebelling when people try to shoehorn me into a demographic. Other than our census though I dont think I've ever had to put race or orientation on any forms or ID. Do Americans have boxes on forms for race and sezual orientation? (arrest reports, birth certificates, government employee files? ) I'd assume it would be unconstitutional for that data to be mandatory. While I'm sure it helps for studies and such it just doesnt pass the smell test for me. I hope in the future that information is irrelevant. As I really value the fundamental freedom of mobility I'm curious how segregation still happens. Do you feel its housing prices so they align with socioeconomic status? Or services like banks with chinese signs, mosques in area? Or word of mouth/ intergenerational clustering (like living down the street from your parents?) | ||
