K: the problem with your post is that it makes assumptions…
for example, perhaps the reason more blacks are shot is racism
we cannot deny and we have far too much evidence that the police
in America conducts systematic racism…
every single statement you made can have a number of reasons to be, besides
your basic assumptions… for example, it is true that more white people are shot by
cops but the fact is there are far more white people then blacks, if you look at
percentage, blacks are killed by a 2 to one ratio over whites… blacks are
arrested 5 times more then whites… that is not because of blacks violence,
but white cops racism…and as far as crimes committed in black neighborhoods,
of course there is… given the grinding poverty of the inner cities, it makes sense
that there is more crime… how else does one overcome poverty given the
fact that it is extremely hard to escape poverty… studies of rats show that
when they are forced into the same type of social structures that we force
blacks into, that the rats become far more violent…it is in the nature of
the extreme poverty that creates violence and crime… the ghetto’s themselves
create the violence and crime… remove people from the ghetto’s and violence
rates go down and crime rate goes down…look at the crime rate of middle class
and upper class blacks and they are no different then the crime/violence rate
of whites…the environment that blacks live in creates the violence/crimes,
for we can see blacks that have escape the ghettos have less crime/violence…
by the simple act of removing people from their grinding poverty,
you will decrease the violence/crime rate in America…
for a person who is wealthier has no need to steal to eat.
whereas a person who is barely scrapping by, may need to resort
to steal just to have bread on the table…
and that is the real problem with your statements…
you make statements without regards to the context of peoples lives…
for example: black people steal more then white people…
and that statement lacks any context because it ignores the fact
that black people are more likely to live in more dire straights then white
people…most people steal and commits crime because they have to,
not because they want to… and if your statements had any context to them,
you would recognize this…
