It's time to take some personal responsibility and stop indulging thuggery.
Because of the enviroment they live in and the CIA's propaganda/manipulation campaign in the rap industry.
They don't have fathers in the home due to baby momma culture.

Lots of theories abound and they all have statistical support. Poverty, systemic racism, substance abuse, limited economic opportunity, but those statistics are always skewed and have some substantial blond spots and assumed conclusions.
Based on my education and personal research & experience: the single most common denominator in criminal conduct across the male population is overwhelmingly a lack of positive male role models in life, and primarily a father.
I recently read a study which indicated the reason for a father’s absence in a young man’s life was just as important as the absence itself. A tracking of the young families of the 343 firefighters and the 72 police officers who died on 9/11 showed a disproportionate amount of them were successful and a higher than expected ratio pursued careers in public service, particularly first responders and the military. They widely regarded their fallen fathers as hero’s and almost elevated their status & esteem to that far greater than most men can attain in real life.
Contrast that with the studies finding of the perception of fathers who were simply absent, choosing a life with another family/woman, pursuing a wild life of promiscuous behavior, financial gains, and the crown jewel of failure as a father: prison time. Their children and particularly sons, were virtually guaranteed to have poor social skills, unresolved anger and resentment issues, a general disrespect for rules and social norms, and plateaued in life at a far younger age both economically and educationally than their peers with a father, or at least a strong male role model.
Any demographic with a disproportionate impact by this dynamic will show a propensity toward criminal conduct and anti-social behavior, even to the point that it’s normalized and glorified. It’s not a uniquely US problem either, and this pattern can be tracked across various countries impacting young men of various races and ethnicities accordingly.
For a great study on this I recommend the book The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrel. It’s mind blowing. Every parent should read it.
If your entire community is treated like a panopticon of course crimes are going to be higher statistically. I'm unsticking my left nut as I walk here and a cop is saying I'm perking it in public. Who's going to believe who being a minority vs a cop?
Then you got the president nixon wanting to get reelected and I'll let his top domestic advisor speak for himself.
“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon
Politicians needs votes and that 60% of black people and future generations is a sacrifice a present is willing to make.
Meanwhile today blacks get free college admissions, priority in media advertising, a special word that only they can use, free license to riot as long as they say they are part of BLM and so on.
American blacks who live outside of the bible belt are some of the most privileged people in existence right now.
@Juxtapose Exactly. They get Priority everything. And contrary to what he is saying, drugs are bad and are not political. The West Coast decriminalized drugs a few years ago and are now looking to criminalize it. These are some old hat arguments that just don’t fly.
race and ethnicity does NOT matter. what matters is personal habitus. meaning life decisions and how you lead your life. your work ethic, your strategies for success. in social sciences we know that. it is clear as day. so the fact that a minority of largely ethnically African people commits the majority of crimes is not to be attributed to the fact that they are black. it is to be attributed tot he fact that they have the wrong upbringing and the wrong way to live life. and the good thing about that is: we can actually fix that. being black can't be changed. but being a deadbeat inmate or a single mom. those are choices. choices we can potentially change for the better as a society.
like who do you think will be more successfull in life. an black kid who's told he's a failure if he doesn't get straight As or an Asian kid who's shunned as a "nerd" cause he has decent grades. that's just one example to show that it's not about race at all.
i didn't watch it to be honest. but i'm guessing the video is right then.
take responsibilty, work hard, stay in school, foster your family, rise your children together with the spouse you made them with, foster your community and don't commit crimes. if you do these things, you will be successful in life.
i think the core difference is: do you take responsibility? or do you make others responsible? choosing the latter will lead to failure.
i'm not saying you commited the crime. but what you just said was exactly what i just labeled "making others responsible". i see it like this: in a society, we all wanna live together in a way such that we're all maximally fullfilled personally right? like if i i'm thinking of a small scale, like my neighbor struggling with their spouse or struggling with their employment. i would try to help them figure it out because at the end of the day if i live around unhappy people, i won't be happy right?
and the same should happen on a societal scale... tho I don't know how that would look like exactly. i do however know exactly how that "doesn't" look like. and it doesn't look like: "well these black people need to get their shit together"...
I mean, it really is a situation where they have to get their shit together. The Asians were discriminated against in the past and we're even put in camps during world war ii. They are thriving right now.
Nigerian immigrants from Africa are thriving and they are straight up black.
So yeah, it's up to the black community to take up some personal responsibility and stop excusing skullduggery.
i see it as "we have to get our shit together". not "they have to get their shit together". cause the latter is divisive shit that can only create problems in a society. it's a bad mindset that's a slippery slope to racism and discrimination. i'm not calling you a racist or something. you should just be carefull with the thoughts you have.
it's a "we" issue, cause if society is the boat, we're all in the same boat dude.
i do agree with that entire institutional racism thing. like we can not preferentially treat an ethnicity. that is definitely not a good solution.
like if you wanna be really dark about it look at the jews. look at how well they're doing now just like one generation after the holocaust in germany. and black people wanna make a thing that's like 3 times as long ago a big issue. like the problem they have is not to be blamed on the past. it is to be blamed on their current self.
I don't take responsibility for other people's bad actions and I don't sugarcoat things. If it's very clear a certain community is responsible then I am going to lambast that community without offering a single penny or a lift of the finger to help them.
Adults have 100% personal responsibility and I am going to hold these adults responsible until they get their act together.
i'm not gonna comment on whether they would offer help or not. i'm saying it would be the right thing to do. cause we all profit from that. it's not like only black people benefited if we helped them figure their shit out and improve their situation. we all would. society as a whole would be improved in quality. it's a win win situation so i think not doing it is the worse choice.
because the courts are too lenient. They let them out and thy just go out and do it again.
My uncle was a cop in the city. He ran the precinct in one of the worst districts. He would sometimes get calls from the parole board. They were giving the cops a heads up because they were releasing some dirtbag and wanted the cops to keep an eye on him. My uncle used to aske them tht if he was still dangerous why are you graning him parole? He should stay locked up.
Yes, I definitely agree that it's culture. But what I'm wondering is, who are the culprits? Can we identify the specific individuals who have created this crisis over the last 50 years by using their positions of authority and influence to lead their people down this road? And can we call them out?
@Juxtapose Can you elaborate, please?
Anyone can commit the most unimaginably crimes if they get to that but they don't they love peace, it dont mean they are weak, some people don't care about anything its only when they know they absolutely know they will be brutally murdered and nothing will save them you really get to see how cowards they really are they beg like the worst animals
Lot of factors. that and America does not have the best rehabilitation programs and our prison system is more like a school for criminals.
m You could go back 200 years and it will likely be 6% of population commits 60% of violent crimes, or at least very close to it. It’s likely the same for a lot of countries from today and going back in history
Culture is a product of biology. Japanese people create Japanese culture. Swiss people create swiss culture. Black people... well, you said it.
A lot of what determines how a group of people turn out is geography and how they interact with other societies. If what you said was true, then Nigerian immigrants would commit just as much crime as American blacks.
Nigerian immigrants prove themselves to be competent and largely non-criminals so that destroys the biological argument.
I don't know anything about Nigerian immigrant crime rates specifically, but an exception doesn't prove the rule. I'm sure I don't have to explain to you that the crime rates of various racial groups in the USA are on par with the rates in their native countries.
White and European crime rates are similar, East Asian and Japanese/Korean/Chinese rates, Black and sub-saharan African rates, latino rates, etc.
Races clearly have biological differences that are clear as day. Even bone structure is different enough that forensics can identify different races by that criteria. So why would inheritable traits like behavior, intelligence, etc. be any different?
That's "race realism" and is not accepted by the scientific community. Racists have been trying to pedal that type of garbage for centuries.
There is nothing biologically that makes blacks more violent. If that was so then Nigerian immigrants would be consistent with American blacks.
You're not well educated, it seems. Hence have never heard of the 80:20 rule
Go back to school, and come back here after you graduate.
I imagine it's a bell curve and those at the bottom of it are more capable of breaking the law.
Some say it is because of poverty. I grew up poor & I turned out fine. in my opinion it is simply some people make to many bad decisions.
Because they're degenerate bastards, why else do you think?
White people who only look at skin color is the problem.
blacks kill blacks by the way. We should be discussing poverty
It's not biology dude, it's the culture. Black culture was destroyed by Jim Crow and the far left Democrat policies which encouraged single black mothers to essentially marry the state. Before some of these leftist policies blacks had an average of 80% being in a two-parent household.
Now 20% are in a two parent household.
Eventually the community is going to have to take personal responsibility and it has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with the culture.
Like you said, blacks kill blacks. Most of the violent gum crime in the United States is due to gangs like the Crips and the Bloods.
Young teenagers are being recruited into these gangs and to be initiated you have to be raped if you are a woman or you can choose to be beaten in if you are a man or if you don't want to be raped.
So you think all these arrests for murder are simply because cops are just racist all over the country? If that is true then why are Asians arrested less percentage-wise than whites? Relative to their population of course I know there are more white people so please don't bring that up.
More poverty amongst certain groups and how they are brought up, struggling to survive at any cost no matter what they have to do
Single parent households with no father.
Fatherless homes is the skinny.
Because they have absolutely nothing else to do.
My thoughts exactly!!
Mental illness and poverty
poverty is the main reason for crime.
Where's the evidence?
Yeah they don't support what you said
A very casual Google search brought up 2019 statistics. It's not 60% (it's 50% lol) that year but it doesn't change the argument.
ucr.fbi.gov/.../table-43
Yeah and that's arrests not convictions
It does because it means they haven't nessecarily committed the crime
@RoronoaZoro8
You are really claiming that the majority of violent is not committed by blacks? Go do some homework.
I'm saying there's insufficient evidence to say that
I ain't got no evidence to say why the arrests are high. I'm just saying it how it is
Who said that? I never did anything like that
Fatherless homes.
