This is not to say that a kid in a poor neighborhood can't avoid the pitfalls and succeed also. It is true that alot of people of all races choose not to take advantages of the opportunities offered to them in this country. I am not illiterate enough to write off a whole race based on the actions of a few of its members as these two are.
Listen their positions are not even arguable, they bring stats from likeminded supremists and seperatists as if they would find any differently. Why not find me fresh stats from a disinterested 3rd party to support their positions. Can't find em thats why.
Also the LAPD was reprimanded recently and alot of cops lost their jobs because they were found to be arresting people solely on the basis of their race and not if they committed a crime so D is gonna have to find another source.
White/Negro I.Q. differences are constantly excused as results of environmental variations. but at least five studies that have attempted to equate socio-economic backgrounds of the two races indicate no significant change in relative results. As environment improves, the Negro does better but so does the White. The gap is not decreased. In fact, extensive research by DR. G.J. McGurk, associate Professor of Psychology at Villanove University, reveals that the gap in intelligence between Blacks and Whites INCREASES where socio-economic levels of both races are raised to the middle classes.
Even when Blacks and Whites have the same backgrounds, in terms of family income and childhood advantages, Blacks still have average I.Q. scores 12 to 15 points lower than comparable Whites. This includes cases where Black children have been adopted by White parents.
Their I.Q.s may be improved by environment, but they are still closer to their biological parents than their adoptive parents. Equalitarian ideologists often discount I.Q. test results with the excuse that they are culturally biased. Nonetheless, NO ONE, not the NAACP nor the United Negro College Fund, nor NEA had been able to develop an intelligence test which shows Blacks and Whites scoring equally.
OCA,
Do you have any links that back your claim about the LAPD?
As far as another source, how about your hometown of Washington D.C?
The District of Columbia, which is approximately 70% Black, leads the U.S. in many areas:
The nations highest crime rates
Strictest gun control
Highest incarceration rates
Highest birthrate
Highest death rate
Highest rate of federal assistance per capita
Highest number of welfare recipients per capita
Highest rate of illegitimacy
Highest high school dropout rate yet its teachers are the highest paid in the U.S.
Highest rate of ghonnorrhea and syphilis
Highest incidence of AIDS
And before you tell me that you don't live in D.C, but you live in Maryland. Blacks and hispanics make up 32% of Maryland's population,
but blacks and hispanics are 82% of Maryland's prison population:
