The statistics don’t lie. The underlying reasons, no doubt are poverty and lack of education. So, if you were going to start up a business, would you pick a safer area or a more dangerous one to do so? Note: high crime rates are, in general, bad for business. So business owners generally won’t start a business in high-crime neighborhoods. Can you blame them?

50% of all blacks drop out of high school-no education leads to a life of poverty/crime.

70% of all black kids are born without the mother and father being married-single parenthood leads to poverty.

58% of all murders are committed by blacks. Can you explain this? 12 percent of the population responsible for 58% of all murders?

I have a few comments that I would like to add. I did a little nonscientific study concerning crime rates. I looked up the 10 most dangerous cities in the U.S. and compared the demographics using the Wikipedia entry for said cities. I did the same for least dangerous cities.
…
Anybody see any patterns?

Let’s look at the averages.

Safest: 83.75% white 2.96% black

Most dangerous: 54.6% black 30.4% white.

I suppose the conclusion that can be gained from the data above must be: Cities that are predominantly white are a tremendous amount more safe than cities that are predominantly black.

Nope. At least you admit your “study” is not scientific. Try correcting that data based on income levels and educational achievement – you might be surprised that poverty is a better fit than race when you look at crime stats.

I’m not a coward!

Maybe not, but you are clearly afraid to look at the actual causes of crime.

Peace.

Here’s a link to a respectable website that will enlighten you, Fred, OOYO, and your other little friends who need facts that aren’t revised editions. The site has essays written by Elizabeth Wright, Thomas Sowell, and others who take pride in THEIR PERSONAL abilities and contributions.
http://www.issues-views.com/index.php/sect/1006/article/1091

btw, they also address affirmative action, reparations and other disgraces, but the above link takes you to an article about blacks who were slaveowners (in the US, not the ones who sold the slaves to be brought here). . .since you seem to have a long-worn-out issue there. Affirmative action was NOT intended to be guided by quotas but, like gov’t programs do, they get out of hand, out-of-context and the non-thinkers bully in. As far as reparations, that’s the most insane robbery ever suggested. Someone told me about 15 years ago that the US would be in another civil war and I thought it was not-quite-preposterous-but-almost?? YourOne may indeed be the one to facilitate such a hostile environment. . .

And a story about Davy Crockett’s address to Congress on matters of largesse: http://www.theadvocates.org/library/christian-crockett.html

This is really disconcerting. . .but y’all are very entertaining and intelligent! Thank you for making my first visit so valuable.

My Mama gave me a plaque when I was a youngster with this simple phrase:

“God gives every bird its food but does not throw it into the nest.” She would be proud for it to be my signature!

Line up white males against a wall and machine-gun them.

Fred No 2, are you one of the regular trolls pretending to be Fred No 1? If so, are you so dense to think you are fooling anyone?

Never mind that Roosevelt, our sainted leader in the depths of the Great Depression, claimed we had nothing to fear but fear itself. But then, what did he know? He was a rich white guy.

Uh, oh. I’ve stumbled again into the briar patch of our black and white world. Writing about race, even if in jest, can get you in hot water in no time flat.
