    I'm a believer of the nurture side in nature vs nurture. But how can things improve if we don't admit there is a problem? Seems like the majority (not all) of the black community believes there is nothing wrong with the black community and all the problems are caused by outside forces. Even in this thread you have people believing the FBI crime statistics are fake yet using the FBI statistics to prove other points. 4 pages of mostly denial and finger pointing.

     

    Going back to the original point. So is the consensus (at least in this thread) is the black people, especially the young black men don't commit more violent crimes? The statistics are fake? Cities like Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago are not that dangerous? All those news are skewed? Nothing more to discuss or try improve?

    Not at all, we know that those cities are dangerous. We also know why those cities are dangerous, but when somebody comes on here and tries to point out those cities without pointing out other things like guns, kill more white people than they do Black people there's a problem. Nobody wants fingers pointed at them, especially by someone whose main purpose is to make them look bad.

    It's like if you talk about drugs and drug dealers people automatically assume that a drug dealer is black, but they are way more white drug dealers in our black drug dealers. I'm not saying that it is not a problem in our communities, but don't come pointing your finger at our communities if you don't wanna point the finger back at your own community.

    Furthermore, most of these guns that are used in our black communities come from outside communities who are lenient on Guns... They are literally pumping them into our neighborhoods, because they know what's gonna happen when we get them and there in lies the problem. 

    Cities like New York, and New Jersey have filed lawsuits against North Carolina, and South Carolina. Where are the gun laws or more lenient and where the majority of their violent crime guns come from.

    If you want to help, that's one thing, but if you want to talk trash and point fingers, that's another.

  2. And to everybody else who is watching me comment way too much tonight, the Lakers and Golden State game is pretty boring. Golden State is about to be a blowout, sending them home...LOL. I'm sorry for the outburst... 😢  I just can't let uninformed people talk about stuff that they obviously have no idea about. We have a whole half of a country that thinks the same way that he does to the point that they're ready to act on  BS info. We can't stand back and just let ignorance prevail. Me personally, I don't have that many cheeks to turn, I was only given two, and I'm not letting anybody punch me in either one of them....LOL

  3.  @Pred007...   And as for the vast majority of shootings are committed by  gang violence, here are the numbers on it. Unless these gangs are shooting up their workplaces, you are sadly mistaken. Again, look up what you getting ready to say before you say it dude. Seriously it took me two minutes.

    Locations of Mass Shootings

    Locations of public mass shootings, by percentage of all occurrences in the database, were:

    With the power of the Internet at your fingertips, which, by the way, a black man invented the first search engine... It should be easy for you to know this information. The second attachment is some other Internet pioneers that are black that you probably didn't know. Two minutes of research dude... Two minutes of research... 🧐 SMH

  4. @Pred007... It's obvious that you are just going off of your feelings and what you wish is Tru. 76% of all welfare recipients or white wall 13% are black. Here are the actual numbers of who actually gets welfare in America and you will be shocked to find out it is white people by a considerable amount. And as far as no one likes us in the world... why do you copy everything that we do for language to the way we dress and almost everything we do? That includes country music, rock 'n' roll, shagging and almost everything you call secret.

     

    I actually feel bad for you, because you have no clue of who you are. You have been told lies your whole life and propped up to be something that you could never be. You should probably try to be a little bit more compassionate, especially with the new found knowledge I just gave you.

    It took me two minutes to look this up. How about you actually do some research and stop pulling rabbits out of your hat like you're some Magic Man that by poof💨  it is true.

  5. These are some of the things that African-Americans have invented. And probably one of the biggest ones of our time is the cell phone, which had two black inventors. And I'm not even going to talk about the things that we have invented that were stolen from us.

    And the FBI report shows that even per capita whites commit more crimes. The murder rate is higher in the black community but until your side of the street is squeaky clean, you need to step off your high horse 🐎 and take a look inward.

  6. I posted this earlier on this page, but I think it pertains to this topic as well, so I'm quoting myself and posting it again.

     

    "25 years ago, I was a photojournalist for a new station. I remember listening to the scanner and hearing crimes committed outside of the city limits that were too far for the new station to consider pursuing. They were in rural areas that were predominantly white. But on that same scanner, we would hear crimes that were committed a couple of miles from the station and easier to get to that were in black neighborhoods. I noticed a pattern, the news portrayed black communities as being more crime ridden then other areas that per capita had just as many crimes that didn't make the news. Was this done on purpose or was it too far to drive? Probably a little of both.

     

    I said that to say this, if you look at the FBI crime statistics, they show a totally different story then what is betrayed on the news. This is not to excuse our black communities from the ridiculous amount of unprovoked violence, but to enlighten them that they are not as bad as the news betrays them. The bad part is, I see a lot of people who are willing to just go with what they see and not take the two minutes to look up the truth on both sides of this pendulum. They either rant and rave about how bad black communities are, and how white people don't commit crimes or on the opposite side just except that black people are the spawn of all evil. So, I have linked a couple of years of FBI crime, statistics to this topic."

     

    In this world of false equivalence, know the truth!

    Also, these false statements do the people making them no good and caused them the most damage. It only serves to show how ignorant you are of your own surroundings and how unwilling you are to find out the truth. This kind of willful ignorance will only serve to belittle your  claims and put you further behind the rest of society. In this day and age, it only takes two minutes to look up the facts. Here's another tidbit of information that we all should know.
