Again, you refuse to refute the core message of the posts. Whites commit crimes too, and they commit more violent crimes. They are more likely to murder their family members, their spouse, the elderly, and themselves. Not exactly the actions of an Apex predator. The message, whites should focus on their own problems and blacks should do the same. Pointing fingers and casting blame at each other is as useless as tits on a boar hog.
No, poverty may not be an excuse for crime, but it is most certainly a cause. Your two communities, Brownsville and Bay Ridge, are perfect illustration of my point concerning poverty and single parent households. Bay Ridge is two thirds white with Asians and Latinos making up most of the rest of the population. The median household income is over $68,000 a year. A quick look at Claritas tells us that the makeup consists of Urban Elders, Money and Brains, and Young Digerati. Bay Ridge is considered a high income area.
Brownsville is three fourths African American with a median income of $30,207, less than half that of Bay Ridge. I can't imagine living on that income in my neck of the woods, let alone New York City. Here we have Low Rise Living, Urban Modern Mix, and Multi-cultural Families. Hard scrabble people living in a impoverished area.
You could not have picked two neighborhoods more dramatically opposed, and I have just touched on the service. School differences, including absenteeism and student homelessness, high school dropout rates and college enrolments, will only further illuminate the differences and compound my argument. Move all the white people in Bay Ridge to Brownsville, cut their incomes by more than half, and then move all the black people to Bay Ridge, more than double their income, and then lets see what the crime statistics reflect.
"School differences,....."
how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:
The number of days absent from school
The number of hours spent watching TV
The number of pages read for homework
Quantity and quality of reading material in the home
The presence of two parents in the home.
How does 'racism' explain these ...deficiencies????
How are white folks responsible???
Stop lying and hiding from the truth: the party you support is responsible:
1966 LBJ expanded the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program…under FDR, AFDC had been limited to widows, those who had lost their husbands and now lacked a breadwinner at home to help support the children.
Then began to loosen and expand the rules of AFDC eligibility, eventually getting to the point where any woman living alone with children could take advantage of this program. In doing so, they not only bought a large number of new votes, they also incentivized out of wedlock births and single motherhood.
As Charles Murray described in “Losing Ground,” the Great Society incentivized the same negative behaviors that cause poverty in the first place.
Millions of women discovered that they could be better off financially by not marrying.
Broken families thanks to the Democrats.
