Majority of Americans want Confederate statues to remain...

The incarceration rate might just reflect the crime rate you know.



They're only 12 to 13% of the population yet commit half the violent crime. Statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62% of robberies, 57% of murders and 45% of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15% of the population in these counties.

I guess you missed the point that a marginalised, ghettoised people, as is the case among many blacks, are more likely to turn to crime. Their marginalisation in an affluent society like the US cannot be justified and needs to be addressed. Otherwise you are merely blaming the victim.

. . . Their marginalisation (sic) in an affluent society like the US cannot be justified and needs to be addressed. . . .

The marginalization you speak of is a direct result of the sort of liberal gibberish you spout.

Yet another of Jed's unsubstantiated bald assertions. You don't actually know why blacks are largely marginalised (spelt with an "s" in England/Australia BTW, so what's all this "sic" crap), but you just know that it must be the fault of the liberals.

Horse pucky. Marginalized my eye. Quit making excuses for people who choose to commit crimes.

As you liberal clowns love to parrot, more whites are on welfare than blacks. So, back that dump truck full of manure up somewhere else.

So, criminals are now victims in your world?

My father came from a very poor white region (Appalachia) and most of the people there are good upstanding citizens. And they all have guns. But they don't use them to kill each other. Sure there are some bad folks here and there, pot growers and some meth labs, but most people are law-abiding and friendly. Most towns only have a single police officer or maybe a couple to handle a whole town. So no, being poor is not an excuse for being violent.

Oh and the region is now even poorer since the liberals have shut down the coal mines. Yay liberal programs! helping the poor get poorer.

Tass and his fellow leftists really are the racists - they don't believe that poor blacks can generally be moral. And one has to wonder why blacks weren't killing each other by the truck load or committing crimes at the rate they are today back in the 30s, 40s, 50s when they had it much worse economically and socially?

[Bill the Cat]

. Yay liberal programs! helping the poor get poorer.

And then liberals give them welfare, which makes them dependent on their liberal benefactors to keep the lights on, which makes them vote for liberals to keep the money coming in... It's basically enforced prostitution.

As I brought up to JimL in another thread, back in the pre Civil Rights era, when blacks faced much more discrimination and actually had to fear being lynched, crime rates in the black community were far lower. That was all before the Welfare State destroyed the family structure and later rap music came along celebrating and lionizing violence and criminal activity.

Wouldn't the "much more discrimination" and "actually had to fear being lynched" be a reason for them to have a lower crime rate? If you could get lynched for stepping out of line, I'd expect you'd want to work really hard to not step out of line.

[JimL]

That's because you're pre programmed to believe that. Do you have any evidence that anyone on this thread, who isn't a liberal, must be a racist or do you believe that based up the fact they reject the notion that white racist exist behind every corner, to keep the black man down?

Whether one is conservative or liberal has nothing to do with whether they are a racist, it just so happens that, for some reason, the racists groups have adopted the conservative party as its own. Ever wonder why?

Right, we've got to bring back lynching, that should take care of those uppity blacks.

America does not have a conservative party. Just one that sometimes plays at it for looks.

I can understand your embarrasment. Well, Okay then, lets just say that the racist groups, like conservatives, tend to support the same political party. Feel better?

So you're saying that the blacks are intrinsically inferior to 'wunnerful' whites like you who, though poor, manage to remain fine upstanding citizens. • Edited by a Moderator •OTOH, you were not marginalised like the blacks have been...dating back to the era of slavery...and this is not in doubt despite the denials of you and the other racist Evangelicals around here.

There are many sites saying the same.

Coal is no longer a viable industry and is a major pollutant and major cause of global warming .

Nah liberal racism is in acting like being poor is why the black community has so much crime. As though blacks are unable to control themselves. Another good example would be race quotas as though blacks are not good enough to compete with whites. Meanwhile most conservatives I know reject racism while you adapt liberal racism as policy. Tell me, what one has been more destructive to minority's? Racist, who's policies have been rejected for decades or those who think blacks need the white man to help them?
