Trump's Washington police takeover echoes history of racist narratives about urban crime

[IM2]

So think your kids are safer in a predominantly black area? Really, IM2? We've already established that blacks tend to kill other blacks...whites tend to kill other whites and that whites killing blacks is even more rare than blacks killing whites...but you think you have to worry about those "sheet wearing rednecks"? I would be willing to bet that your children would have a better chance of being struck and killed by lightning than being killed by a white person in a rural town! The truth is that there is far less racial animosity between races in rural areas than there is in urban areas. But I'm guessing you'd rather sacrifice your kids in the meat grinder that inner cities have become, than admit that there really is no Klan "bogey man" hiding in the bushes out there in the country just waiting to kill some black folks!

Yes. I said that and your white opinion based on your racism doesn't make living a predominantly white neighborhood safe for blacks. There re all kinds of low crime black communities in this country white man. You don't know the truth and you don't have to be a member of the klan to be a white supremacist. Every black community is not in the inner city asshole, this is again where you show your racism.

Do not try teling me your opinion of Sowell like it means something more than what I know about him. Sowell is an economist, not sociologist. World renown sociologist Wiliam Julius Wilson tore Sowells argument apart in an article that you should read.

HURTING THE DISADVANTAGED (Published 1984)

www.nytimes.com

Thomas Sowell is responsible for making life more dangerous for black people in America. The racist subculture uses his irresponsible rhetoric as high-level intellectual thought. One can criticize liberals all they want about policies, but when you are black and suggest to whites how blacks are starting a race war with them, you invite problems that no one black should be facing. When you know that your audience consists of white right-wing extremists and you state how they are under attack from blacks and the media hides it, you invite and should be held criminally responsible for the hate crimes you have created.

“More dangerous than these highly publicized episodes over the years are innumerable organized and unprovoked physical attacks on whites by young black gangs in shopping malls, on beaches, and in other public places all across the country today. While some of these attacks make it into the media as isolated incidents, the nationwide pattern of organized black-on-white attacks by thugs remains invisible in the mainstream media, with the notable exception of Bill O’Reilly on the Fox News Channel.”
-Thomas Sowell, 2013

The elevation of blacks like Sowell into thought leadership has been detrimental to the overall improvement of blacks in America. Furthermore, his opposition to the government solving the problem government made for blacks just doesn’t make sense. He ignores almost 200 years of whites exclusively getting government assistance in his analysis. It is essential to show the numeric human cost of what Sowell stated. Sowell made his statement in November of 2013. These are numbers published in the 2015 FBI Uniform Crime Reports.

“According to the 2015 FBI hate crime statistics, there were 613 anti-white-related crimes out of 5,850 total cases. That’s around 10.5 percent of all reported hate crimes, and within the yearly average, federal numbers show.

By comparison, the FBI reports there were 1,745 anti-black hate crimes or about 30 percent of all reported incidents. Jews were the most targeted religious group that year and were victims of 11 percent of all hate crimes. It’s not clear how many anti-Jewish hate crime victims also may have been attacked because of their race.

The 2015 FBI data showed that of the 734 total reported offenses committed against whites — a single incident could have multiple offenses like assault or theft — 46 percent of those were committed by blacks.

In contrast, of the 2,125 reported offenses committed against blacks, 58 percent of those who committed by whites.”

Unfortunately for us as blacks there have aways been the Sowell types among us. Blacks who so desperately want white approval that they will diss their own kind. And whites have used them in order to maintain their advantage. Thats why whites today love Booker T. Washington but hate Marcus Garvey. Garvey owned a shipping line but to whites Washington was the great black man we all should imitate because he told lacks to just take it and not fight back.

"Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are": Booker T. Washington's Atlanta Compromise Speech

Garvey didn't do so. Therefore he was the bad guy.

Sowell is an idiot what he sees as big government failing blacks is known as the refusal of the government to provide blacks with the same resources it has provided whites. During the 20th century alone the government provided whites with the equivalent of more than 1 quintillion dollars in economic assistance while excluding blacks of the same. To mention this documented fact in Sowells word makes blacks "victim" while whites can whine until the vineyards in Napa Valley turns the grapes in chardonnay with no evidence and Sowell will try to find a way to validate it.

He has had 95 years to solve the problems he says exist in the black community and has done nothing. Yet you will listen to this man call other blacks race hustlers and not understand that Sowell is the one hustling race for money.

What a coincidence! Another professor that I had while in college. When I say that I was far less impressed with William Wilson than I was with Thomas Sowell, I'm being generous.

Well let's test that theory, IM2? What predominantly black neighborhoods has your favorite President Barack Obama chosen to buy homes and raise HIS family in?

Of course, because Wilson didn't tell you what you wanted to hear.

 

[IM2]

Well let's test that theory, IM2? What predominantly black neighborhoods has your favorite President Barack Obama chosen to buy homes and raise HIS family in?

That's not a test. If you want to use that tactic, the existence of David Duke means all whites are white supremacists.

Obama daughters were raised in the white house. They are grown now.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Of course, because Wilson didn't tell you what you wanted to hear.

Well, to be fair he was a lowly Assistant Professor just starting out teaching...but I recall him as being predictable and boring. Sowell on the other hand was one of the most interesting lecturers I had in college. As for either of them telling me what I wanted to hear? I was rather liberal back then.

Ok...choose your black politician, IM2. Let's see where THEY chose to live and bring up their children!

The black woman in charge of the Chicago Public Schools put her son in a private school.

Weird.

I don't care what you were. You like Sowell becuse he says what you want to hear about black people and his beliefs about government ignores documented historical fact.

 

[Man With A Plan]

IM2 is going to have to do some SERIOUS work to find a black politician with a family who moved to a black neighborhood to raise that family!

 

[Man With A Plan]

I don't care what you were. You like Sowell becuse he says what you want to hear about black people and his beliefs about government ignores documented historical fact.

Since I was rather liberal back then, Sowell was the one who wasn't telling me what I expected to hear. As for his beliefs? I never saw him make a statement that he didn't back up with facts. He's not a bomb thrower. He's never been that.

Hypertension can happen tn peple who aren't bese and is caused by stress also.

So you want to pay stupid.

On June 3, 2020, SAMHSA’s Office of Behavioral Health Equity published a report titled, “Trauma, Racism, Chronic Stress and the Health of Black Americans.” They found that racism contributed to poor mental health and chronic physical health problems.

“Racism and associated trauma and violence contribute to mental health disorders, particularly depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, maternal mortality/infant mortality and morbidity in African Americans. Racism is considered a fundamental cause of adverse health outcomes for racial/ethnic minorities and racial/ethnic inequities in health. The primary domains of racism - structural/institutional racism, cultural racism, and individual-level discrimination— are linked to mental and physical health outcomes. Racism and violence targeting a specific community is increasingly associated with complex trauma and intergenerational trauma, all of which have physical and behavioral health consequences.”

Studies show that consistent exposure to adversity and marginalization causes early health declines in black Americans. Racism is a stressor that triggers the body into allostasis or better understood, racism forces the body to adapt to stress. Allostasis is the process that helps us adapt to stress. Allostatic load is compiled damage to the body due to constant pressure. Such stress leads to allostatic overload, which is the point when the overall amount of stress causes health problems or death. For example, allostatic processes lead to increases in blood pressure, a leading cause of death in the black community.

1. Geronimus, A. T., Hicken, M., Keene, D., & Bound, J. (2006). “Weathering” and age patterns of allostatic load scores among blacks and whites in the United States. American journal of public health, 96(5), 826–833. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2004.060749

Allostatic overload created by stress caused due to constant exposure to racism increases the occurrences of myocardial infarction(heart attacks) in blacks.

In 2014, “Structural racism and myocardial infarction in the United States,” a study by Alicia Lukachko, Mark Hatzenbuehler, & Katherine Keyes, was published in Social Science and Medicine Journal. Their research showed that structural racism was one cause of heart attacks in black people.

“This study demonstrates adverse effects of structural racism—specifically state-level racial disparities disadvantaging Blacks in political representation, employment, and incarceration —on past 12-month myocardial infarction. These adverse effects, however, were specific to Blacks, and among Whites, indicators of structural racism appear to have a benign or even beneficial effect on cardiac health. It is important to note that individual-level risk factors including age, sex, education, income, and medical insurance do not account for these findings. Furthermore, lending support to the construct validity of our measures of structural racism, the effects persist above and beyond those of state-level racial disparities in poverty.

Measures of structural racism pertaining to job status did not follow the expected pattern of association, and were inversely associated with myocardial infarction among Blacks. While this finding was unexpected, it is in line with results from previous studies that have documented that Black Americans in high status positions report greater exposure to interpersonal discrimination. This increased exposure, coupled with potential pressures to assimilate and to defy negative racist stereotypes, may in turn place high status Blacks at greater risk for adverse health outcomes. Our results similarly suggest that Black Americans in states with greater representation of Blacks in high status positions are at higher risk for heart attack.”

Try not posting you tube idiots.

You need to look. The facts support me.

You don't get to shoot more people because there are more of you, nor to you get to commit more crime. The fact that there are more whites means whites the biggest threat of crime and violence.

OMG
You completely discount that 230 million people would Always do more of most anything than 30 million. Shelter your ignorance.

You can use numbers to illuminate or to cloud a discussion. You can count on IM2 for the latter.

 

[IM2]

Ok...choose your black politician, IM2. Let's see where THEY chose to live and bring up their children!

I don't have to choose anyone. I know there are low crime safe all black communities in this country. You don't, because in your echo chamber the only black community you know about is a small section of Chicago. Your racism has you believing that white communities are somehow inherently safer and better even though the UCR shows that white communities at no safer than any other community.

 

[Billiejeens]

Not it is not. Not from a President who has pardoned violent criminals. Nor is it when crime in that city is at a 30-year low.

You are aware that they had to change the definition of violent crime to tell you that, and that Murders are up?

 

[WEATHER53]

You can use numbers to illuminate or to cloud a discussion. You can count on IM2 for the latter.

It’s either being stone cold ignorant to not differentiate hard numbers from percentages or deliberate misleading manipulation

 

[IM2]

I don't discount anything. You don't get to do more crime because there are more of you and the fact there are more of you makes you the greater threat.
So shelter your own ignorance dumb racist.

 

[Billiejeens]

You are wrong and stop trying to tell a black man what the cue is for black crime for the perspective of a white ---. If 47 percent of black women are singe mothers, that means 53 percent aren't. Furthermore:

“In 1965, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s report, The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, attributed racial inequality as well as poverty and crime in the black community to family structure, particularly the prevalence of families headed by single mothers. Not only did research at the time cast doubt on this causality, but evidence over the last the 50 years demonstrates that rates of child poverty, educational attainment, and crime do not track rates of single parenthood. Thus, even though the share of children living with a single mother rose for all racial and ethnic groups through the mid-1990s and has remained high since then, school completion and youth arrests for violent crimes have declined significantly, while poverty rates have fluctuated according to economic conditions.

Whites commit the most crime. There are white murderers and other criminals today who had fathers in the home. The recent shooter at the CDC had a father in the home. The white man who tried shooting Trump in PA had a father in the home. We have a white felon as president who had a father in the house who enabled him to become the criminal he is. So stop repeating that ignorant white racist 60 year old debunked lie

You all are 100%ers

15% of the population
85% of the violent crime.

 

[Billiejeens]

I don't discount anything. You don't get to do more crime because there are more of you and the fact there are more of you makes you the greater threat.
So shelter your own ignorance dumb racist.

Damn
That was stupid, even by your standards.
