Why Are Black Men So Violent?

[Leo123]

Human beings are "so violent." Always have been, always will be.

Humans are capable of evil and capable of good. Humans with no moral guidelines from an agreed upon higher power, are typically the most evil.

In the poor Black community, there is no peaceful way of resolving serious disputes, or even insults. THeir rejection of formal education is a contributing factor.

How would you know any of that?

That's how animals roll.

 

[BothWings]

They are more violent. There are decades of data indicating this. The facts are not debatable. You know this, why deflect?

A whopping number of them project themselves that way all the time and appear to be proud of it. They are also cast that way in the media and they most seem to be happy with that.

 

[Votto]

Well that doesn't make any sense, considering how many police officers are black (and every other 'race').

Since when does anything the Left believe have to make sense?

Pretty sure the head music teacher at my school was black, and wasn't some kind of DEI hire.
Did not like the Boogie Woogie, (which I did) but was the best person for the job.

Sounds like that picked the best person for the job of Music Teacher.

Not the best Black, White, Red, Yellow, or Green person for the job ...

So much of the current political discussion in this Country is about violence in our communities. The event in Charlotte, Chicago, Washington, and many other major cities where violent crime is out of control. What is not being discussed, what is ignored, is race. In most of these cities black men are the overwhelming perpetrators of the violence.

Blacks are 12.5% of the U.S. Population and yet commit 54% of the violent crime according to the FBI. Violent crime is defined as rape, murder, aggravated assault, and armed robbery.

And let's be fair, it is not black women that are committing these crimes, it is mostly young black men. And let me be clear: Facts are not racist. Blacks have a massive problem with violence in their community, particularly black men.

Key Quote: "Overall, black Americans are arrested at 2.6 times the per-capita rate of all other Americans, and this ratio is even higher for murder (6.3 times) and robbery (8.1 times)."

Blacks need to take responsibility for the violence in their community. This is not racism. It is not the Justice system. This is mostly young black men making the decision to hurt other human beings violently. I am tired of the excuses and the white-washing by the media, academia, and progressive whites. The violence has to stop. Black men, you own this. What are you going to do about it?

Don't blacks have that "violence gene"? (I may have mentioned this before).

 

[Carl in Michigan]

The murder in Charlotte was my final straw. I have had enough. The bullshit Dim politicians in Chicago and elsewhere continue to lie and bullshit while their citizens get murdered in the hundreds. They don't care. The people that do care keep their mouths shut because they are afraid of being called racist.
Well, you can call me racist, I don't give a shit. There is a massive problem with violence among black men in our Country. We all know it. The violence needs to stop. No more excuses.

We all know it, but this forum would prefer we didn't talk about it

Actually, called the "warrior gene".

 

[Mr Natural]

These are poor Black men we’re talking about here, right?

 

[Foxfyre]

But why are black men so much more violent? Why avoid the question? You know the facts. What are you afraid of? Do you want the violence to continue? I find it stunning that the media and progressive Left turns a blind eye to thousands of young black men being murdered in American cities year after year. That is the true racism. Nobody in the media or the Left seems to care. No one will intervene.

That is the true racism.

You're arguing with a master at thread derailing and deflection from the topic. I've learned that is a huge example of an exercise in futility. You'll next be accused of being a leftist or Democrat or something.

Meanwhile, my own theory:

Beginning with LBJ's 'great society' initiatives in the 1960's that included provisions intended to move black people onto Democrat plantation and keep them there--enormously successful as it were--the Democrats have marginalized, victimized, and manipulated black people ever since.

Yes those initiatives ended the Jim Crow laws that were a very good thing, and affirmative action did initially break down some necessary cultural barriers. All great society initiatives were not necessarily bad, But the unintended consequences were massive and the Democrats have double downed on those for the past 60+ years with the result that the black family has been decimated, single motherhood has been encouraged and exalted resulting in unnecessary continued poverty among far too many black people. Almost half of black mothers are without a man in the house compared to 14% of white mothers.

And too many black women continue to be exploited with welfare benefits that encourage them to not change their situation. Couple that with schools that indoctrinate--emphasize what victims black people are to ensure they remain angry and defensive--but do not educate. Students are passed whether or not they have learned anything.

So you have young black men who are more negatively affected by all that--no responsible father in the home, poor education, conditioned to be angry and defensive. They are set up to be easy picking for violent gangs/culture. Even the responsible mothers have a hard time keeping their sons safe from all that once those sons are old enough to rebel against a more sane upbringing. The gang culture encourages, sometimes requires violence. And even young blacks who don't join a gang see that and are influenced by it.

White people are proportionately far less likely to be subject to, exposed to, influenced by that kind of culture. And they are far less likely to be taught from an early age how victimized, disadvantaged, rendered helpless they are. They are not systematically encouraged to be angry and retaliatory.

Great points and I agree. Family is key for any people, ethnicity, or culture. Government policy established by the Dems and LBJ with the Great Society directly undermined black families (and many poor white families), and the result was disaster.

I was a wild and rebellious kid. Fortunately, I had a father to keep me in line. Fathers are critical, particularly for young men growing up. Without a father in the home many young men turn to the street or a gang as a substitute father. That is rarely ever a good thing.

What has made America historically strong is faith, family, and a strong work ethic. Any Government policies that attempt to undermine any of those three things is by definition (at least in my mind) destructive. The Great Society policy of the Dems did a terrific job of destroying faith and family in the black community. It is still being felt.

The single most important asset for any child of ANY ethnicity is having in their home two responsible parents who love each other and who love that child. Very VERY few children with that advantage will be seriously poor or will run into any serious problems with the law or will not grow up to be a self-sufficient adult. Certainly the child is highly unlikely to be violent or any other significant problem for society. Kids need a responsible loving mom and dad in the home. Blessed are those who have that.

You can't dispute it with any reliable data from any credible source.

If any of these excuses were true, there would be exceptions somewhere, but everywhere they live, chaos grows. This is what you see everywhere. It is the rule, not the exception

It's almost like a game to them.

 

[Woodznutz]

How would you know any of that?

The evening news is a good source.

In my city the newscasters seldom post the pictures of the perps but based on the type of crime, neighborhood, and names we know zackly the ethnicity of those involved. Before 'woke' the city admitted to a black crime problem. Now they do their best to sweep it under the rug.

As is often the case with biased nonsense online, the topic and figures are much more complicated.

'Rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black homicide are similar, at around 80% and 90%

Fact check: Rates of white-on-white and Black-on-Black crime are similar

Rates of intraracial and interracial killings by civilians are similar, but police disproportionately kill Black people. A meme on rates is false.
