Stats on Black Crime

In 2019, the share of Blacks in poverty was 1.8 times greater than their share among the general population. Blacks represented 13.2% of the total population in the United States, but 23.8% of the poverty population.

Now, that 1.8 times still doesn't explain the statistical differences here, which is many, many, many times the population!

Oh yes, they're trapped. Give me a fucking break. This is America, no one is "trapped" in poverty, especially blacks. People like YOU making excuses for them is perpetuating the problem.

Pretending that poverty is the reason is just enabling the black criminal. The reality is there are a lot more poor people than their are robbers or murders so clearly simply being poor doesn't equate to a life of crime.

You should look at the MLK's speech "Things we must do" from 1957. The following is snippet from it and it is just as true today as it was back then with only numbers being slightly different today. The problem unfortunately is that the typical black kid has the "I had a dream" speech battered into their heads and the more important and meaningful "Things we must do" is forgotten.

"Let us be honest with ourselves, and say that we, our standards have lagged behind at many points. Negroes constitute ten percent of the population of New York City, and yet they commit thirty-five percent of the crime. St. Louis, Missouri: the Negroes constitute twenty-six percent of the population, and yet seventy-six percent of the persons on the list for aid to dependent children are Negroes. We have eight times more illegitimacy than white persons. We’ve got to face all of these things. We must work to improve these standards. We must sit down quietly by the wayside, and ask ourselves: “Where can we improve?”

The idea that black people are wantonly attacking white people in some sort of quiet race war is an untruthful and damaging narrative with a very long history in America.

Executive Summary
On a Wednesday night in June 2015, a 21-year-old white man walked into a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, and gunned down nine black parishioners taking part in a weekly Bible study group.

Dylann Storm Roof sat quietly with the group for about an hour before taking out his Glock pistol and firing 70 rounds, stopping five times to reload.

Court testimony revealed that during the shooting Roof said, “Y’all are raping our white women. Y’all are taking over the world.”

How this horrific violence came to take place traces back to a particularly destructive idea, one as old as the United States itself and rooted in the country’s white supremacy: that black men are a physical threat to white people.

The narrative that black men are inherently violent and prone to rape white women, as Roof said during his rampage, has been prevalent for centuries. This idea has served as the primary justification for the need to oppress black people to protect the common — meaning white — good.

Roof saw himself as a victim standing up for oppressed whites, not as an aggressor. He had a racist “awakening” spurred by online research he did about the 2012 murder of the black high-school student Trayvon Martin.

As he wrote in his manifesto, the Martin killing “prompted me to type in the words ‘black on white crime’ into Google, and I have never been the same since that day.”

Roof’s internet search quickly led him to the website of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, a group that claims to document an ignored war against whites being waged by violent black people. Google led Roof down a rabbit hole of hate, leaping from one hate site to the next, many filled with “evidence” that black people are pillaging, raping and murdering white people.

He was trying to say Smith did that because he was black, and because black people are violent by nature, typical racist stuff.

But the numbers he used did reflect an unflattering trend of disproportionate amount of violent crime offenders are black, more so than the proportion of black people living in poverty, so my theory did not seem to work, maybe you have better ones.

What does Will Smith slapping Chris Rock have to do with: thug lifestyle, getting a job, supporting your family. Do Smith or Rock do these things or blame whitey?

If you don't admit the real problem, there is zero chance of fixing the problem.

And I agree, the stable family is where it starts.

The decades we have spent blaming white wacism or poverty, has prevented us from actually doing ANYTHING to address the actual problem.
