I am 83 years old.
I have had experience with all ethnicities, except for Native Americans.
I have learned (often through painful experiences) two facts.
1. The said ethnicity has an unusually large percentage of its youth who are violent.
a. They will engage in even "minor" incidents as throwing rocks or bottles at other people without the slightest twinge of conscience.
2. There is a patina of violence/crime that marks the said ethnicity that one does not find in other ethnicities to such an extent.
a. Young gentlemen, for example, joke that they never tell anyone (including their best "friends") when their home will be unoccupied.
Yes, it's true, blacks are more prone to violence, period. The facts are clear proof of it. The internet is absolutely awash with videos of black violence, and it doesn't matter who you are, an old grandmother, a baby, another black, etc. Historically, it wasn't that long ago blacks were drug out of their primitive life in the jungle into a modern society. Well you can take the black out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the black. They have animalistic characteristics that include a proclivity for violence, and the violent ones shouldn't even be allowed in a modern society. Ship them back to Africa where they can once again be violent with each other and not reek havoc on otherwise peaceful modern societies.
1. This is a very controversial and hurtful topic, so we should all be as gentle as possible.
2. No one really knows why certain folks act the way that they do.
3. This morning (July 24, 2020), I as always checked the
Daily Mail website (which reports stories that are often ignored by our politically correct media).
a. There was an article with the headline "DNA study reveals the slave trade's dark history of ...."
(i) Of course, I do not know whether the study's findings are accurate or not.
(ii) Its conclusion, I think, is very controversial and may be considered as "racist" by some people.
(iii) Being a computer illiterate senior citizen, I apologize for not knowing how to link to it.
"No one really knows why certain folks act the way that they do."
I do.
In their desire to win the votes of the black community, Democrats/Liberals, with no desire to advance the happiness and success of these folks, simply pat them on the head and refuse to describe any pathology as wrong. The result is that there is never a need to better oneself: problems are always other folks'....white folks.....oppression.
Is it possible to induce psychopathology in a subculture????
Clearly the answer is "yes."
Another feature to consider in the heredity vs. environment controversy: females are several times as numerous as males among blacks with high IQs. Witty and Jenkins, "Educational Achievement of a Group of Gifted Negro Children," Journal of Educational Psychology, vol. 25, p. 593. They inherit the same genes, are raised in the same homes and neighborhoods......explanations rest on the culture, the excessively 'macho' roles of males associated with and emphasizing certain sociopathologies.
There is a pathology that certainly holds some individuals back, and it is one that has been encouraged by the Liberals/Democrats.
The only question is, whether the debilitation can be reversed.
