This is a well-known statistic that was brought up by a black man who is against Donald Trump who is against the right wing. It was from this podcast
None of us can know what goes through the mind of a criminal. Even a psychologist or a criminologist. Nothing against those folks they are professionals but you often see criminals change their mind sets. So when it comes to this topic it is simply a matter of trying to figure out why is this happening.
blacks commit more violent crimes generally speaking white folks commit white-collar crimes like CEOs looting from their company or similar which causes great pain for so many people.
This is not a topic about going after Black people or white people nor should it be.
What we can only do is look at the facts. And the facts are the prison population in the American past was much less than it is today. We did not have the pornography issue, we did not have the social media, drugs, marijuana legalization all throughout the country like we do today. We did not have that in the past. We also have an issue today that sees politicians mostly Democrats but also Republicans driving anti-American hatred, they drive the false idea that America is “systemically racist” which might play a role in hyping up Black people to commit violent crimes.
It is crystal clear we have problems in America today that politicians are not doing enough to address. The fact that so many young men are single, the fact that the divorce rate is higher than it’s ever been… The fact that huge numbers of young people are staring at their cell phone including children being on their cell phones all day instead of getting out there playing football, playing basketball being healthy. So in order to address all of these issues we have to learn from the American past…. we have to have politicians who care about the country and who drive pro American views.
Have a nice day folks God bless all.
Nothing excuses those who do wrong. Wrong is wrong. Crime is crime. Evil is evil.
Crime among black people was pretty rare, more rare than among white people, when I was growing up. I qualify that by saying crime was pretty rare period. Why?
The vast majority of people professed a religious faith then or at least accepted and tolerated those who did and participated in their celebrations of it without prejudice or resentment. That in itself is a modifying factor unless it is a religion of mayhem and war. We didn't have those back then.
Most children, black, white and other, had a mom and dad in the home, schools that taught real subjects, grew up in supportive, caring communities. Back then more were poor than not, but people helped people and being poor did not equate with being criminal. Illegal drugs were not part of anybody's culture then.
These days black children are told they are oppressed and victims of racism and white children are told they are racist and oppressive. Welfare, urban renewal, and a culture that celebrated almost any form of marriage other than traditional ones tore apart supportive black communities and institutions and decimated the black traditional families.
And peer pressure is a terrible thing when it pulls people the wrong way.
The 'woke' culture is in no way a justification or excuse for black crime of any sort. But I do strongly believe it is a reason. As well as a factor in most other crime.
