I have a very different perspective, in the sense that I don’t aim to have things like government, countries, organized society as we know it. I feel like we’re in the late stages of a huge species-wide misstep. It’s my belief that we’re meant to live in a much simpler, and by today’s standard, “primitive” fashion, as we simply aren’t entitled to all the benefits this society gives us, I feel as though those benefits are a result of us as a species stepping out of the line of natural order, which we have no entitlement to do, and is ultimately destructive to the overall governing system of nature.

So Rule #1 of life to not violate, in my opinion, is having behavioral expectations of any sort of anyone who isn’t you. Having a problem with the way any person or culture operates is, to me, simply out of line.

I'm sorry when you have a bunch of tween and teen niglets running around at 3 am wanting to be gang bangers on a school week listening to rap and hip hop then there is your problem. The music black people listen to is a fine example of the lifestyle they choose. I have already seen 2 teen Negro's die in a stolen car at 2:00 am on a school night. Was great being only 3 feet away as my eye's adjusted to the black of night oh look there he IS! Damn these black people really do blend in good with the night.

Before "scientific" racism was (rightfully) thrown out of the Overton window by the crimes committed by the Nazis during WWII, the high poverty and crime rates were attributed to the supposed genetic inferiority of African Americans. Now, they're attributed to "Black culture" but this is just a case of same shit different day. The reactionaries are trying to conjure an alternate explanation for high black crime and poverty to shift blame from where it should be placed: (overtly and covertly) racist policies. And in both cases they completely flipped the cause and effect. The cut-throat gangster/thug culture is an effect of the impoverished situation such policies have created for African Americans; not the cause of it.

[laticiagarrett]

I agree. Every poor white guy has adopted rap music and acts like a thug. Oh wait.

[FakeName123]

Blacks are 13,5% of the population and commit 50% of the homicides. And no, poverty isn't the reason for it - because when adjusted for poverty, blacks still commit drastically more homicides than whites. So there two topions. Either there is a genetical predisposition or there is something among the black culture that leads to it.

Ask yourself which of the two you would like more.

[normalice]

Yeah, the assertion that black culture is in some way naturally uncivilized is classic lynch mob speak.

Trump has put out a lot of crap. The media would love such a statement from Trump. Since this has not made it to mainstream news , I doubt the asshole said this.

[laticiagarrett]

"This has not made it to mainstream news" I guess you have watched every mainstream news channel 24-7 for 67 years.
by the way. This statement has made it to mainstream back in 2013.

[laticiagarrett]

You say trump has put out a lot of crap, and then you put out this crap comment that is bullshit.

[cloud9vortex1234]

I would ask him "What Reprehensible Behavior is he talking about?". What he said too vague.

[Anonymous]

When did he say that?

Can you provide a video for context?
