Why blacks don't like Ben Carson and don't vote Republican

How about the white Republican opinion? Notice they stay silent?

And I hate the heritage foundation but they can't be 100% wrong all the time.

The Real Root Causes of Violent Crime: The Breakdown of Marriage, Family, and Community

• Over the past thirty years, the rise in violent crime parallels the rise in families abandoned by fathers.
• High-crime neighborhoods are characterized by high concentrations of families abandoned by fathers.
• State-by-state analysis by Heritage scholars indicates that a 10 percent increase in the percentage of children living in single-parent homes leads typically to a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime.
• The rate of violent teenage crime corresponds with the number of families abandoned by fathers.
• The type of aggression and hostility demonstrated by a future criminal often is foreshadowed in unusual aggressiveness as early as age five or six.
• The future criminal tends to be an individual rejected by other children as early as the first grade who goes on to form his own group of friends, often the future delinquent gang.

On the other hand:

• Neighborhoods with a high degree of religious practice are not high-crime neighborhoods.
• Even in high-crime inner-city neighborhoods, well over 90 percent of children from safe, stable homes do not become delinquents. By contrast only 10 percent of children from unsafe, unstable homes in these neighborhoods avoid crime.
• Criminals capable of sustaining marriage gradually move away from a life of crime after they get married.
• The mother's strong affectionate attachment to her child is the child's best buffer against a life of crime.
• The father's authority and involvement in raising his children are also a great buffer against a life of crime.

Since the problem in the black community comes from lack of economic opportunity which was created by public policy, none of these things apply to us.

The problem here is that you want to make me agree with you. I'm not going to do that until you turn black, live for at least 56 years and do so in the black community working on issues black face.

You are wrong. Things are not as you say or think. Period.

If the black community took my advice you'd see real improvement. But since you refuse I guess the status quo is what you'll get

No we wouldn't. The status quo is what you offer.

 

[IM2]

How about the white Republican opinion? Notice they stay silent?

They don't have to say anything, you are doing their work for them.

 

[sealybobo]

If American was run by blacks and things were reversed I'd take the advice I'm giving blacks now.

I wouldn't have kids I can't afford.

I'd stay away from drugs

I'd start learning eubonics.

I'd leave the white ghettos.

I'd stress education to my kids.

Yes sir officer

 

[sealybobo]

How about the white Republican opinion? Notice they stay silent?

They don't have to say anything, you are doing their work for them.

Well I more agree with you than I do them. I'd like to see them challenge the points you are making. I conceed most everything you say is true. It's tougher to be a black in America no doubt.

I'm just talking about high crime ghettos and telling the people in those places what they need to do. Some people need to leave. A racist would tell you to stay. And I tell poor white people too the reason they're poor is they had kids too soon. Should have waited till they were out of poverty before they had kids.

This country does have a crime problem. But the highest concentration of it is in ghettos. You say that's because the cops go after blacks. There is some truth to that. Ok you were right about that.

Ultimately I probably agree with you but despite that I think the poor black community needs a little Ben Carson right now. We should have the national discussion

B's. I know ghetto blacks who have done what I am suggesting and their living the American dream. Better than most whites.

 

[IM2]

I love it how black people won't even entertain the thought of pulling up their pants, speaking english, stop having fatherless kids and start taking school more seriously.

We all know the poor people living in HUD homes in the hood who's kids are abused or neglected are the reason why their kids grow up to become criminals or under achievers.

IM2 will say the black community doesn't have a fatherlessness problem. In fact they are better fathers than our white fathers. Because there are more white kids living in single parent homes. Never mind there are 200 million whites in the country vs 37 million blacks. So I would hope there are more whites committing crimes when there are 5 times as many of us.

he latest Federal Bureau of Prisons statistics showed the white population was 58.7 percent in August, compared to the 37.8 percent of blacks being housed at federal institutions. At the state level, however, the department said that black male prisoners represent 38 percent of the population while whites males account for 35 percent and 21 percent are Hispanic males. Overall, blacks are 5.1 more times likely to be incarcerated than whites, and blacks represent more than half of the prison population in 11 states.

So is this true and proof we are racist or is it not true at all? Which argument?

So is this true he asks.

The biggest crime in the U.S. criminal justice system is that it is a race-based institution where African-Americans are directly targeted and punished in a much more aggressive way than white people.

While African Americans comprise 13% of the US population and 14% of monthly drug users they are 37% of the people arrested for drug offenses - according to 2009 Congressional testimony by Marc Mauer of The Sentencing Project.

Two. The police stop blacks and Latinos at rates that are much higher than whites. In New York City, where people of color make up about half of the population, 80% of the NYPD stops were of blacks and Latinos. When whites were stopped, only 8% were frisked. When blacks and Latinos are stopped 85% were frisked according to information provided by the NYPD. The same is true most other places as well. In a California study, the ACLU found blacks are three times more likely to be stopped than whites.

Three. Since 1970, drug arrests have skyrocketed rising from 320,000 to close to 1.6 million according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice.

African Americans are arrested for drug offenses at rates 2 to 11 times higher than the rate for whites - according to a May 2009 report on disparity in drug arrests by Human Rights Watch.

Four. Once arrested, blacks are more likely to remain in prison awaiting trial than whites. For example, the New York state division of criminal justice did a 1995 review of disparities in processing felony arrests and found that in some parts of New York blacks are 33% more likely to be detained awaiting felony trials than whites facing felony trials.

Five. Once arrested, 80% of the people in the criminal justice system get a public defender for their lawyer. Race plays a big role here as well. Stop in any urban courtroom and look a the color of the people who are waiting for public defenders. Despite often heroic efforts by public defenders the system gives them much more work and much less money than the prosecution. The American Bar Association, not a radical bunch, reviewed the US public defender system in 2004 and concluded “All too often, defendants plead guilty, even if they are innocent, without really understanding their legal rights or what is occurring...The fundamental right to a lawyer that America assumes applies to everyone accused of criminal conduct effectively does not exist in practice for countless people across the US.”

Six. African Americans are frequently illegally excluded from criminal jury service according to a June 2010 study released by the Equal Justice Initiative. For example in Houston County, Alabama, 8 out of 10 African Americans qualified for jury service have been struck by prosecutors from serving on death penalty cases.

Seven. Trials are rare. Only 3 to 5 percent of criminal cases go to trial - the rest are plea bargained. Most African Americans defendants never get a trial. Most plea bargains consist of promise of a longer sentence if a person exercises their constitutional right to trial. As a result, people caught up in the system, as the American Bar Association points out, plead guilty even when innocent. Why? As one young man told me recently, “Who wouldn’t rather do three years for a crime they didn’t commit than risk twenty-five years for a crime they didn’t do?”

Eight. The U.S. Sentencing Commission reported in March 2010 that in the federal system black offenders receive sentences that are 10% longer than white offenders for the same crimes. Marc Mauer of the Sentencing Project reports African Americans are 21% more likely to receive mandatory minimum sentences than white defendants and 20% more like to be sentenced to prison than white drug defendants.

Nine. The longer the sentence, the more likely it is that non-white people will be the ones getting it. A July 2009 report by the Sentencing Project found that two-thirds of the people in the US with life sentences are non-white. In New York, it is 83%.

Ten. As a result, African Americans, who are 13% of the population and 14% of drug users, are not only 37% of the people arrested for drugs but 56% of the people in state prisons for drug offenses. Marc Mauer May 2009 Congressional Testimony for The Sentencing Project.

Eleven. The US Bureau of Justice Statistics concludes that the chance of a black male born in 2001 of going to jail is 32% or 1 in three. Latino males have a 17% chance and white males have a 6% chance. Thus black boys are five times and Latino boys nearly three times as likely as white boys to go to jail.

Twelve. So, while African American juvenile youth is but 16% of the population, they are 28% of juvenile arrests, 37% of the youth in juvenile jails and 58% of the youth sent to adult prisons. 2009 Criminal Justice Primer, The Sentencing Project.

Thirteen. Remember that the US leads the world in putting our own people into jail and prison. The New York Times reported in 2008 that the US has five percent of the world’s population but a quarter of the world’s prisoners, over 2.3 million people behind bars, dwarfing other nations. The US rate of incarceration is five to eight times higher than other highly developed countries and black males are the largest percentage of inmates according to ABC News.

Fourteen. Even when released from prison, race continues to dominate. A study by Professor Devah Pager of the University of Wisconsin found that 17% of white job applicants with criminal records received call backs from employers while only 5% of black job applicants with criminal records received call backs. Race is so prominent in that study that whites with criminal records actually received better treatment than blacks without criminal records!

So, what conclusions do these facts lead to? The criminal justice system, from start to finish, is seriously racist.

That is what the truth is son.

I am black. You are not. The fatherless problem in the US is no greater in the black community than in the white one.

Everything you say is wrong. Now you are not going to force me to agree with shit I know is wrong after living black so far for 56 years, working specifically in the black community for 32 of those years 40-60 hours per week, studying and researching issues that impact these communities for over 70,000 man hours while you have not lived one second black, nor have you worked in the black community and you definitely have not studied the issues

You see I have convinced city governments to make changes needed to help the black community. I am soon about to convince anther one to change their method of policing. Well actually, this time it's a county.

So stay unconvinced white boy. I don't give a damn.

All the more reasons not to sell or use drugs. All reasons why black kids need fathers even more than white kids.

I'm not denying these facts. I'm saying what you need to do to avoid those pitfalls.

The problem is that you were shown is blacks are 14 percent of the drug users. And even though your stupid white arrogant racist ass was shown this you talk about us selling and using drugs. Please, SHUT THE HELL UP!

We don't need to do what you suggest. These "pitfalls" cannot be avoided as long as whites remain racist.

You didn't avoid them? I thought 96% of blacks were fine. Now you're saying 100% of them are doomed?

 

[sealybobo]

The pitfalls are unavoidable. That's their position. They have no other choice. That's how desperate it has become for black Americans. No other options. Does anyone agree that's true? I don't.

Tamika is just born into poverty. In america. Is their no hope for her? I'm giving her and her people the same advice I'd give my daughter. There are rapists out there. Can't avoid that. But you can avoid rapists. Move away from the high rape areas. Don't have a kid till you can afford to move out of the high rape area. Go to school get a job. Even if rapists always exist.

[sealybobo]

I'm wondering if the black community is suffering from PTSD because from what I'm hearing this is the best they can do with what were giving them. Their going to keep producing kids even if Trump cuts food stamps. Let's see.

When the recession hit middle class women stopped having babies. Poor people did not

The white neighborhoods may look more aesthetically pleasing, but that's where the high crime is.

But you can avoid rapists. Move away from the high rape areas. Don't have a kid till you can afford to move out of the high rape area. Go to school get a job. Even if rapists always exist.

As long as you ignore racism your argument is worthless. Where is a black person going to move to avoid racism?

The white neighborhoods may look more aesthetically pleasing, but that's where the high crime is.

Sure it is. Oh you mean mafia and white collar? True but their not complainin

The pitfalls are unavoidable. That's their position. They have no other choice. That's how desperate it has become for black Americans. No other options. Does anyone agree that's true? I don't.

The pitfalls are avoidable because white racism can be stopped.

I am black. You seem to think you know more than me about bring something you have never been.

Don't go to a black club in Arkansas.

Too late. Been there done that.

Don't go to a white club in KCK. Especially if you are from India.

This video shows the stupidity some whites live in.

Dear White People. Roland Martin makes a valid point.
