I absolutely agree it is a sociological issue and not race. I have delivered in mostly black high crime areas and also poor white trash areas. The white ghetto preyed on other whites in same area just like the black ghetto preyed on other blacks in same area. Not much difference other than the color of their skins. But I will admit that there are more bad black ghetto areas than white, which helps explain the higher black crime rates and prison populations. Black areas in suburbs are totally different. The problem is that inner city mentality.
oldngray,
You and sober are commenting about my post stating that 12.6% of the total population do not commit 12.6 % of the crimes --but a MUCH higher % -therefore the high rate of Black incarceration.
I was also basically saying that I would be called a racist for stating obvious facts that many are too polically correct to utter.
Social issue or not -----Slavery was horrible and was also a very long time ago--many positive things have been done --affirmative action.
Sober will mention the war on drugs ---If we would have let Nicky Barnes and other drug Kingpins continue to hook the inner city children on crack and heroin--things would be even worse.
I refer to the movie courageous.
It is time to stand up for family values ----two loving parents that hold the children accountable.
An education system that has a chance to teach --rather than deal with thugs that drop out anyway.
When a child "drops out" the State until they are of legal age should have mandatory technical schools to teach skills where people can learn skills instead of learning how to deal drugs on the corner --and than have some people believe that that the problem is a war on drugs.
Generation after generation is following the same bad road -----children born to one parent ---no discipline or loving guidance----disrupt school system --drop out --no education or skills ----gangs, drugs ---live the street life that cause this type of behavior and havoc on society.
When does it end -----another two,three four hundred years ????
We have a Black President --A Black Attorney General ----thousands it not millions of hard working successful blacks(bbsam)
When does somebody address the plight of the inner cities -------when the cause of poverty, crime and waste of lives is so obvious.
The great society plan of LBJ ---enabled the breakdown of the family unit ----this will go on forever ---if we cannot find some COURAGEOUS people.
I again highly recommend this film.
Some jerk will say I posted this out of racism ------I know I posted it out of a heart that bleeds when it sees so many lives being wasted in the Black communities and the ill effects that touch all of us.
's. Two minus one equals one. Same.
