Hi Asclepias
A young man on a Sociopathworld website was also asking
why are more serial killers white and not as many are black.
I cited Eugene Coral Watts, who was black.
He was wondering if it was a difference in the criminal mind
or chemistry or birth or what.
I also brought up that for serial killers to slip from city to city independently
and have the resources to do that could be socioeconomic. People
may not question a white loner, but a black man they'd stay away from if they didn't know his family background or community connections.
it could be a mix of reasons why we let sick white people go so far without
getting help they kill their kids in such horrible way.
I've seen examples of POOR families, both white or black or other races,
where the parents are mentally ill or criminal and don't get help in time,
and starve or abuse their kids to criminal levels of neglect or death.
Normally whites and white families will go get mental health professional help
before blacks or minorities do. What about POOR people?
Are any of the socioeconomic factors and expectations coming into play here?
We could study this forever. Every case of mental or criminal illness
has social, spiritual, and other influences and causes.
The main thing in common I have found is that
the healing comes from forgiveness; so even if someone is
BORN criminally ill or mentally imbalanced, the deep
spiritual healing prayer to remove the sickness in the spirit
can help alleviate and manage the conditions, if not cure them in some cases.
But as for manifesting, any number of factors can affect
if the person gets help in time for their mental issues that otherwise lead to crime and abuses.
If people have Spiritual education, knowledge and empowerment
I believe that is a key factor. So there is both physical poverty
and spiritual poverty that feeds into the cycle of crime and abuse left unchecked.
The way I see it there are at least 2 reasons why there should be way more Black serial killers. Black people typically do not seek mental help due to pride and distrust of the medical establishment. We have way more stress/anger in our daily lives just living with racism.
is it a matter of targeting individuals
vs collective mindsets?
If the white lineage is more focused on individual identity
but the African/Latin/Asian-Americans are motivated
by collective identity as a community, would that
affect how you view other people and how violence is expressed?
what about one on one stalking and abuse of "one victim at a time"
vs. rioting or robbing a whole area of businesses or gang members as a group
what about that sociological factor?
does that manifest the same for all races percentage wise?
No such thing as individuals. We you come down to it humans are social animals no matter how much they want to be individuals. Whites are no exception to this rule and practice it diligently when it comes to asserting superiority more so than any other race.
What you may call a riot someone else calls a protest. What you call a gang others see as family or money making enterprise.
I know what you are saying. That we can never take the individual out of context with the whole.
What I mean is that each of us IS unique.
We have our own individual will, IN ADDITION and in conjunction with the collective will we all answer to.
There is BOTH.
You can neither impose the collective will on the individual
or the individual will on the collective by FORCE or it cause imbalance and unrest.
If we make decisions by collaborative and free choice, then it remains harmonious.
But must be chosen by free will.
A, if all we needed to was to blindly obey collective will, we'd be done by now.
Just a bunch of automatons following by blind faith.
But that's not what humanity is. We are not BORG. We are ALL INDIVIDUALS!
And yes, what affects one, affects all. That's the whole issue in life, how to balance this.
I think therein lies the pathology. If you were truly an individual you would not experience mental problems being isolated from other humans. The culture of trying to be an individual apart from the collective is a problem
Hi Asclepias
This is a VERY deep point, and the crux of the whole human struggle for freedom/free will vs.
the collective or greater good will of the whole. Thanks for bringing it up. If we can understand this,
all other conflicts can be put in perspective.
1. I find it IS because we have individual will that this causes the "cognitive dissonance" and "mental problems"
when our conscience gets mixed signals. We are STRUGGLING to balance what we want
for ourselves and our friends/families/committed interests with those of OTHERS in the same boat but with
different factors to juggle. With management and business, we balance workers with mgmt, company and customers,
and try to find where we agree or can "give and take" and work it out. We may bend one rule in one direction,
but balance it by giving leeway the other way somewhere else.
This is constantly going on. So when conflicts p ut pressure, and one person or one side gets X
but the other side gets slighted, it causes imbalance or conflicts of interest, and we seek to correct it.
Why can't you see the problems are caused by not fully mastering our ability
to reconcile our individual choices/responsibilities/will with that of others?
Of course, it is caused because we have our own free wills.
And YES it is PROBLEMATIC because that will IS tied to the will of others.
We are not automatons to the will of others or the collective will.
Even Jesus in the garden had to stop and really pray to be at peace with God's will for what was going to happen.
It wasn't automatic even for Jesus who had to work to reconcile, when all that human fear gets in the way.
A, I have a friend who specializes in networking with people, like you who are addressing this level.
If we talk by PM I am happy to refer you if I didn't already. Maybe we need a 3 way conference call and
see how we can help each other, since we are thinking on this higher level
2. As for you and your own situation.
Asclepias if people are one then what is separating you from Ben Carson or Allen West?
How can you identify these people as "not like you" if you and I are one.
Can you explain where that is coming from. Aren't you your own person
so when someone does things you do not relate to, that's them, not you.
Doesn't that show we are unique and not just automatically in sync with each other?
Thanks!
I think you would like my friend who may be able to address
the higher level you think on, if you already see humanity as one collectively.
That is very fine, and I am glad to know you are there already!
No wonder we connect, even where we differ by our experiences.
Have a great year, Asclepias! May all the support and successes
you need be multiplied in abundance this year as we all become closer to being one in harmony.
Yours truly,
Emily
