true... but do you agree or disagree that, statistically, more klansmen are southern and white? If not, why deny that black ghetto culture impedes it's own race?
You're correct but if people only believe what the media portrays and not the entire picture ignorance takes hold and not surprisingly that is the case, almost to the point that when people hear and see black Americans doing good they think its the exception when in reality its the rule.

Well, historically speaking there were at one time more Southern White members of the KKK. After all, it's where the KKK was born. Let's be serious here though. How many black members of the KKK have you ever heard of? Or Jews? Now, let's address the KKK for what it really is and that's just an old, antiquated group of morons who at one time tried to control the black race and the jews through fear tactics and violence. Today, there are still members of the KKK here and there but they are a dying breed because most rational people see them for what they are and that's a hate group. They serve no useful purpose what so ever. Their rallys you see on TV are not popular with anybody except for KKK members. I can't say anything except my own opinion about the black ghetto culture because although I have known many black people in my lifetime, and some of those black people truly were great friends, I don't know any black person personally that was raised or lived in the ghetto. All I can say about black ghetto culture is the typical crap you normally hear tossed about. My feelings is that the ghettos are the way they are because of necessity. If you're hungry, you're going to do something to get some food, be it sell some drugs, commit a crime, etc. People don't turn to crime because they wake up one day and say, I think I'll be a criminal. There is usually something that turns them in that direction.
I have to agree with Bass here. It only takes a small number of people doing bad things to create an ugly picture for all members of a particular race. In this world there are just as many "bad" apples in the white race as in any other. We aren't immune. Believe it or not, everything in life is not a black or white issue. It's a people issue. Different paint jobs just add to the numbers of the group. If 25% of the population are the dregs of society, what difference does race make in the make up of that 25% of bad apples? Still a bad apple be it white, black, red, orange, purple, or green. Can you grasp this concept of reality?
