The Racial Makeup of the Most Dangerous/Safest Cities in the United States 2014 Edition

It has nothing to do with these cities having populations that are mostly black. It has to do with them having populations that are mostly poor and blacks happen to be disproportionately affected by that more than other races.
It also has a lot to do with which blacks, black immigrant welfare mothers are no more common than among native white welfare mothers. While there are climatic maladaptations to North America these tend to be marginal except north of the Ohio-Missouri river line. The problem is culture and self selection. That is bad news because cultural problems are less solvable. Screening or treatment for genetic problems are pretty straight forward, culture problems are harder to diagnose or treat.
 
It has nothing to do with these cities having populations that are mostly black. It has to do with them having populations that are mostly poor and blacks happen to be disproportionately affected by that more than other races.
Leaving the black share of the general population aside, that would only be true is the share of crimes committed by blacks were proportional to their rate of poverty, which it clearly isn't. Denial of an endemic cultural problem within the black population is an excuse, not a solution or even a recognition of fact.

If this were limited to only certain areas within the United States, or indeed the world, you could possibly conceive an argument that poor blacks are not more criminally-inclined than other demographics, which again it. clearly isn't.

Fail on all fours.

The notion that economic deprivation necessarily leads to lawlessness is widely believed but is not supported by empirical evidence. Human history is replete with examples of impoverished people—of all racial and ethnic backgrounds—who have endured extreme poverty without descending into criminal activity. During the 1960s, for instance, the residents of San Francisco's Chinatown were among America's poorest people—with the most unemployment, the worst housing conditions, the least education, and the highest rate of tuberculosis in their city. Yet despite such hardships, only five people of Chinese ancestry went to jail in the entire state of California in 1965.[1]

Similarly, Jewish immigrants to America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries also repudiated criminality despite having to face extreme economic deprivation. Historian Max Dimont describes them:

"The majority of these immigrants had arrived penniless, all their worldly belongings wrapped in a bundle.... Most of [them] arrived in New York. Some made their way into other cities,... but the majority remained in New York, settling in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, [which was] a neighborhood of the poor. Sociologists, with their impressive charts showing the number of toilets (or lack of the), the number of people per room, the low per capita income, paint a dismal picture of the Lower East Side Jewish slum. But their charts do not capture its uniqueness. Though it bred tuberculosis and rheumatism, it did not breed crime and venereal disease. It did not spawn illiteracy, illegitimate children, or deserted wives. Library cards were in constant use."[2]

The late political scientist James Q. Wilson debunked the theory that crime results from poverty.

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1636[/QUOTE] Speaking only of your Chinatown statistics...the San Francisco Department did not patrol Chinatown, because historically the Fire Depts and Police Depts let them settle their own problems. At first is was language barriers, but that tradition just hung on into the 60's.
 
It has nothing to do with these cities having populations that are mostly black. It has to do with them having populations that are mostly poor and blacks happen to be disproportionately affected by that more than other races.

There are more poor whites in the country than poor blacks. Why do blacks commit a disproportionate level of violent crime in accordance with their population than whites? 50% of the countries murders are committed by black people who make up 13% of the population. You aim to tell me that poverty is at the root? If that be the case then why aren't whites committing as many murders as blacks? Another myth struck down in its tracks. Black culture champions deviance. The fruits of black American culture is just that: deviance.

Glad you're showing your true colors.

The black cultural experience is different than all other immigrant groups. No other immigrant groups were stripped of their family units and sold as property. So the subsequent development of black culture after slavery did not include cohesive family unit, which did allow Jewish, Latino, Irish, Asian, and most every other immigrant group other than free blacks, to overcome the cultural disadvantages of poverty.

To simply jump to a completely anecdotal hasty conclusion that blacks are physiologically prone to violence more than other cultural groups defies the statistical analyses that allow you to come to it.

When you separate culture from race, then observe differences, the entire notion that a culture can be more violent can only be a result of it's experience. The idea that blacks are genetically prone to higher levels of violent behavior is racist, because violence is not a positive trait, and socially harmful in all forms. Which means you think blacks are inferior to all other races because they have less emotional control.

You may not have shown you think blacks are genetically inferior in other ways...but I'm sure the Grand Dragon of your chapter can come up with some more unsupported pseudo scientific examples of why you think blacks are inferior.

Glad to see you back. If I'm not mistaken, you skipped an earlier post and have yet to reply.

A cohesive family unit? During slavery and Jim crow black families were far more complete than they are today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we've made racial progress shouldn't the facts of the black family be the opposite?

I rule out racial inferiority as the cause of the black mans ills. The idea seems absurd to me. If not cultural, then what? Discrimination is the reason blacks commit more crime statistically than their white counterparts? Good luck pushing that load of garbage.

All those who adopt black culture, including whites who do, are more prone to violence. End of story. You cannot tell me that discrimination is the reason because racial progress has not been met with equivalent levels of black progress. In many cases, and depending on what year you start, blacks have been regressing DRAMATICALLY. The black family has been regressing for a long time now.

Three exclusive events that are almost exclusive to blacks. Flash Robbery, Fighting over a sneaker, and the knockout game are all black culture deviant creations. Lemme guess, you attribute these events to white racism?

Does it bother you that the Stormfront rules don't allow you to just be yourself, out in front of God and everyone?

White Nationalists are social pariahs for good reason.

I understand why contemporary Klan avoids the idea that institutionalized racial discrimination produces long term social disadvantages. Because the only question after that is how successful anti discrimination measures will be, which also would give rise to reevaluations of current measures. In the 1600's when indentured servitude was done away with for everyone besides blacks, they suffered 350 years of oppression, and now, as a culture, have less than 50 years with corrective measures in place.

Beyond Affirmative Action, law abiding blacks still endure prejudicial behaviors, and for a law abiding black person in America, every time that happens it's unfair, and demoralizing.

Then on top of all that, there is the KKK, Neo Nazis, Stormfronters, and White Nationalists, who are a constant embarrassment to the white race.

If I passed a building on fire, and I knew there was a White Nationalist inside, and a black street gang member...the only reason I would try and save either, would be because I'd have to explain it all to God again someday. If God would give me a pass, I'd like to sit outside that building, and feel good about making the world a little bit better place by not acting at all.
 
The Racial Makeup of the Most Dangerous/Safest Cities in the United States 2014 Edition

What do they all have in common? America s Most Dangerous Cities 2014 Edition

5. Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland jumped up the list this year from #8 in 2014 to number 5. In addition to contending with a violent crime rate of 1,478 violent crimes per 100,000 people, the city must also deal with a poverty rate of 34 percent and an average median income of just $26,556. Cleveland is one of the few cities on Law Street's list that saw its overall crime rate increase. The city saw its number of robberies and aggravated assaults climb and as a result, the violent crime rate ticked up by 7 percent.
  • 53.3% Black
  • 33.4% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 10% Hispanic or Latino of any Race

4. St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis dropped one stop from last year's list to number 4. But even so, the city has the highest murder rate of any locale in the top five, with 38 murders per 100,000 people. Its overall violent crime rate is 1,594 violent crimes per 100,000 people. That rate dropped by an impressive 10 percent from 2012.
  • 49.2% Black
  • 42.2% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 3.5% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
3. Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis moved up a spot to number 3 on this year's list, but the city still managed to reduce its overall violent crime by 5 percent rom 2012. There were 1,656 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
  • 63.33% Black
  • 29.5% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 5% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
2. Oakland, California
Oakland saw its crime spike by 10 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to the previous year. But by the end of 2013, crime had dropped so much that the city's overall violent crime was down by 1 percent year-over-year. Law Street notes that part of this reduction could be due to an increase in police precincts, which made the captains in each district responsible for their local crime numbers.
The racial makeup of Oakland is 134,925 (34.5%) White (non-Hispanic White 25.9%), 109,471 (28.0%) African American

As of the 2010 Census, the racial composition of the city was:
  • 27% Black
  • 25% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 25.4% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
1. Detroit
Once again, Detroit tops the list. But, as with many cities on the list, there is good news for Detroit. The city saw its violent crime drop by 2.5 percent to 2,072 crimes per 100,000 people.

As of the 2010 Census, the racial composition of the city was:

Top 10 Safest Cities in America 2014 Parenting
5. Irvine, Calif.

Irvine, a suburban city in Orange County, barely beat out Amherst and was barely outranked by our No. 4 pick. While it has fewer violent and property crimes per capita than the next location, it's also located in a state with a slightly lower ranking on the peace index (California: 32; New Jersey: 28). And Irvine has a considerably higher number of sex offenders than our No. 4 city

  • 1.8% Black
  • 45.1% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 9.2% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 39.2% Asian
4. Woodbridge Township, N.J.
Woodbridge Township sits just across the river from Staten Island, N.Y. In this New Jersey city, we find the first notable drop in the number of sex offenders per capita. Woodbridge Township sits between two California cities on our list. All three are home to low violent and property crimes per capita and share similar rankings on the peace index: New Jersey: 28; California: 32.
  • 9.85% Black
  • 59.18% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 15.63% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 0.04% Asian
3. Santa Clarita, Calif.
Santa Clarita, the third largest city in Los Angeles County, beat out Woodbridge Township for the No. 3 spot with its slightly lower number of sex offenders per capita. The cities are nearly identical in their number of crimes per capita, and the states sit closely on the peace index: California: 32; New Jersey: 28.
  • 3.2% Black
  • 56.1% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 29.5% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 8.5% Asian
2. Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Just barely missing out on the top spot in our list is Port St. Lucie. It's slightly higher number of violent crimes per capita and Florida's lower ranking on the peace index compared to New Jersey (Florida: 47; New Jersey: 28), left Port St. Lucie settling for second place.
  • 16.3% Black
  • 61.6% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 18.4% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 2% Asian

1. Edison, N.J.
Our pick for the safest city in America is Edison, N.J.! It has all-around low crime rates, fewer sex offenders per capita and New Jersey has a mid-level spot on the peace index, which makes for one safe and sound city in our book. It beat out Port St. Lucie, our No. 2 pick, with its slightly lower violent crime rates and New Jersey's No. 28 ranking from the Institute for Economics & Peace index compared to Florida's No. 47 out of the 50 U.S. states.
  • 7.05% Black
  • 44.1% Whites (Non Hispanic Whites Not Reported)
  • 8.11% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 43.19% Asian
Wow, you're a genius....you've provided proof that blacks are inferior


I did? I thought I simply proved that blacks are the largest group in the most violent cities. I said nothing of inferiority/superiority. Perhaps you misread the op?
How is the fact that blacks are the largest group in the most violent cities interesting in any way?

You could have proved something like the most violent cities have the most bagels...and that would be no more noteworthy than proving that blacks are the largest group in the most violent cities

The intellectual stench has followed you from Stormfront, and it's always a dead giveaway


That comparison will be made when bagels become violent.
 
He said he does not believe blacks are inferior...so what is the point of noting that the most violent cities have more of them?
That they are more violent. The correlation between violence and inferiority are your. As to your previous observation, if bagels committed crimes, it would be fair to state that high concentrations of bagels result in higher crime rates.
You haven't proved that blacks are more violent than anyone else.

In the town I grew up in, there were only whites and latinos. So in my town, were blacks less violent than whites and latinos?

Whenever you compare groups its best to place them in context as the total percentage of their population. But by either metric, whether you note that people of a race that makes up 13% of the total US population managed to account for nearly 50% of all murders or simply note that people from 13% of the population is responsible for a disproportionate number of murders well beyond the white rate, the black male is by far the most violent among his racial counterparts. You contest this? Once again, this information is useful. Progressives are attempting to cry racism in order to sway public policy. Therefore, I push backs with the facts. Demanding that cultures take into account the fruits of their creation is the best way to criticize them. Racial inferiority assumes that they are inherently inferior and beyond repair. Cultural inferiority assumes they are able to change. Most blacks in the US are culturally inferior to whites. Even this black academic admits this. But you wont imply that he's a racist now will you?



The American black, not blacks world wide, is a special case.

Fifty years of the war on poverty has encouraged people to have children they don't care for, and created hordes of kids with no father figures.

The kind of violence we see today is new.

It has been created.


You took the words out of my mouth. Thanks.

F*ck me....I'm dealing with a bunch of mental midgets.

That Florida guy was right about Texas.
 
It has nothing to do with these cities having populations that are mostly black. It has to do with them having populations that are mostly poor and blacks happen to be disproportionately affected by that more than other races.


and why are they poor? No black fathers, no jobs, no direction, no degree etc etc...
There has also been an awful lot of breeding on the Short Bus that did not take place in former times.

Top 10 Safest Cities in America 2014 Parenting
5. Irvine, Calif.

Irvine, a suburban city in Orange County, barely beat out Amherst and was barely outranked by our No. 4 pick. While it has fewer violent and property crimes per capita than the next location, it's also located in a state with a slightly lower ranking on the peace index (California: 32; New Jersey: 28). And Irvine has a considerably higher number of sex offenders than our No. 4 city

  • 1.8% Black
  • 45.1% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 9.2% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 39.2% Asian
4. Woodbridge Township, N.J.
Woodbridge Township sits just across the river from Staten Island, N.Y. In this New Jersey city, we find the first notable drop in the number of sex offenders per capita. Woodbridge Township sits between two California cities on our list. All three are home to low violent and property crimes per capita and share similar rankings on the peace index: New Jersey: 28; California: 32.
  • 9.85% Black
  • 59.18% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 15.63% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 0.04% Asian
3. Santa Clarita, Calif.
Santa Clarita, the third largest city in Los Angeles County, beat out Woodbridge Township for the No. 3 spot with its slightly lower number of sex offenders per capita. The cities are nearly identical in their number of crimes per capita, and the states sit closely on the peace index: California: 32; New Jersey: 28.
  • 3.2% Black
  • 56.1% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 29.5% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 8.5% Asian
2. Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Just barely missing out on the top spot in our list is Port St. Lucie. It's slightly higher number of violent crimes per capita and Florida's lower ranking on the peace index compared to New Jersey (Florida: 47; New Jersey: 28), left Port St. Lucie settling for second place.
  • 16.3% Black
  • 61.6% Non-Hispanic Whites
  • 18.4% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 2% Asian

1. Edison, N.J.
Our pick for the safest city in America is Edison, N.J.! It has all-around low crime rates, fewer sex offenders per capita and New Jersey has a mid-level spot on the peace index, which makes for one safe and sound city in our book. It beat out Port St. Lucie, our No. 2 pick, with its slightly lower violent crime rates and New Jersey's No. 28 ranking from the Institute for Economics & Peace index compared to Florida's No. 47 out of the 50 U.S. states.
  • 7.05% Black
  • 44.1% Whites (Non Hispanic Whites Not Reported)
  • 8.11% Hispanic or Latino of any Race
  • 43.19% Asian
Wow, you're a genius....you've provided proof that blacks are inferior


I did? I thought I simply proved that blacks are the largest group in the most violent cities. I said nothing of inferiority/superiority. Perhaps you misread the op?
How is the fact that blacks are the largest group in the most violent cities interesting in any way?

You could have proved something like the most violent cities have the most bagels...and that would be no more noteworthy than proving that blacks are the largest group in the most violent cities

The intellectual stench has followed you from Stormfront, and it's always a dead giveaway


That comparison will be made when bagels become violent.
F*ck me....I'm dealing with a bunch of mental midgets.

That Florida guy was right about Texas.


You're the idiot that brought bagels into the discussion as if they were in any way relevant.
 
It has nothing to do with these cities having populations that are mostly black. It has to do with them having populations that are mostly poor and blacks happen to be disproportionately affected by that more than other races.

There are more poor whites in the country than poor blacks. Why do blacks commit a disproportionate level of violent crime in accordance with their population than whites? 50% of the countries murders are committed by black people who make up 13% of the population. You aim to tell me that poverty is at the root? If that be the case then why aren't whites committing as many murders as blacks? Another myth struck down in its tracks. Black culture champions deviance. The fruits of black American culture is just that: deviance.
Glad you're showing your true colors.

The black cultural experience is different than all other immigrant groups. No other immigrant groups were stripped of their family units and sold as property. So the subsequent development of black culture after slavery did not include cohesive family unit, which did allow Jewish, Latino, Irish, Asian, and most every other immigrant group other than free blacks, to overcome the cultural disadvantages of poverty.

To simply jump to a completely anecdotal hasty conclusion that blacks are physiologically prone to violence more than other cultural groups defies the statistical analyses that allow you to come to it.

When you separate culture from race, then observe differences, the entire notion that a culture can be more violent can only be a result of it's experience. The idea that blacks are genetically prone to higher levels of violent behavior is racist, because violence is not a positive trait, and socially harmful in all forms. Which means you think blacks are inferior to all other races because they have less emotional control.

You may not have shown you think blacks are genetically inferior in other ways...but I'm sure the Grand Dragon of your chapter can come up with some more unsupported pseudo scientific examples of why you think blacks are inferior.

Glad to see you back. If I'm not mistaken, you skipped an earlier post and have yet to reply.

A cohesive family unit? During slavery and Jim crow black families were far more complete than they are today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we've made racial progress shouldn't the facts of the black family be the opposite?

I rule out racial inferiority as the cause of the black mans ills. The idea seems absurd to me. If not cultural, then what? Discrimination is the reason blacks commit more crime statistically than their white counterparts? Good luck pushing that load of garbage.

All those who adopt black culture, including whites who do, are more prone to violence. End of story. You cannot tell me that discrimination is the reason because racial progress has not been met with equivalent levels of black progress. In many cases, and depending on what year you start, blacks have been regressing DRAMATICALLY. The black family has been regressing for a long time now.

Three exclusive events that are almost exclusive to blacks. Flash Robbery, Fighting over a sneaker, and the knockout game are all black culture deviant creations. Lemme guess, you attribute these events to white racism?


Does it bother you that the Stormfront rules don't allow you to just be yourself, out in front of God and everyone?

White Nationalists are social pariahs for good reason.

I understand why contemporary Klan avoids the idea that institutionalized racial discrimination produces long term social disadvantages. Because the only question after that is how successful anti discrimination measures will be, which also would give rise to reevaluations of current measures. In the 1600's when indentured servitude was done away with for everyone besides blacks, they suffered 350 years of oppression, and now, as a culture, have less than 50 years with corrective measures in place.

Beyond Affirmative Action, law abiding blacks still endure prejudicial behaviors, and for a law abiding black person in America, every time that happens it's unfair, and demoralizing.

Then on top of all that, there is the KKK, Neo Nazis, Stormfronters, and White Nationalists, who are a constant embarrassment to the white race.

If I passed a building on fire, and I knew there was a White Nationalist inside, and a black street gang member...the only reason I would try and save either, would be because I'd have to explain it all to God again someday. If God would give me a pass, I'd like to sit outside that building, and feel good about making the world a little bit better place by not acting at all.


You could have either refuted me or condemned me. You chose the latter mixed with a bunch of baseless ad hominems. The realm you stew in neither fact based or any where near reality. You dismiss the facts and resort to childish name calling because you are intellectually ill equipped to make an opposing argument. I suppose our conversation is done. I gain nothing by arguing with the mentally inept.

Yet the same is not true of blacks in Africa, whose behavior is practically identical to that of American blacks. Why is this?

Blacks are disproportionately represented in prison and crime statistics wherever in the world they are found.outside of sub-Saharan Africa, Jamaica and Haiti where they are the majority anyway.

Slavery has little to do with it. The problem is far more genetic and primitive.

I think that welfare in one form or another is detrimental to Blacks on a global scale. During colonial times, Blacks in Africa weren't expecting to be fed hand and mouth by the White colonisers, so they invested their time in securing their next meal knowing full well that any raid against Whites would result in an armed, state-sanctioned retaliation. Civil war in Africa is guaranteed to result in aid pouring into the region, and the more savvy African Blacks are well aware of that fact. Another factor is the lack of comprehension of abstract thinking which is essential in maintaining the kind of Eurocentric models of society that have been adopt (or imposed) around the world. The same can be said of Blacks and the situation(s) they find themselves in around America.
