Wow. Very encouraging news.
What do they expect when they strut in looking like gangstas with do-rags, pants hanging down to their knees, speaking ebonics, and grabbing their nether regions?
Or worse...the new plantation.
Call it what you might.
A larger percentage of serious crimes are committed by a small percentage of the overall population.
If that group of crime minded happened to be 85 year old Quaker widows then I think most folks may be reluctant to rent
to or take tea with them too.
Where's Captain Obvious when you need him?
Wait a minute... Another article reaches a different conclusion... about the same study? Here:

Hmmm...I’d like to know more about the survey before I cheer.
I actually had someone come in for an interview last month dressed like that. The job posting stated must speak English properly and clearly. Less than 5 minutes into the interview it was over after having to ask “What did you just say?”. Ebonics, street slang & hip hop talk have no place in my department where we have to deal with multi million dollar customers.
I note they feel things are worse because only 20% think things are improving. It seems to me, the authors of the piece you referenced want there to be either no or retrograde progress come hell or high water.
Encouraging, and the exact opposite of what I read in an article last night that I then posted.
I just cross-referenced the other thread.
It’s funny how two difference sources will present such opposing views on the same study.
Sloooooowwwwwwwwwly, the tide begins to turn. Jessuh & Rev'n Al gonna has to get real jobs if'n dis keep up.
So there’s hope. Now we need the blacks to dump the democrat party and other liberals which keep them down, and lift themselves out of the hole that liberals have put them in.
If TRUE -— very heartening and uplifting..
Perhaps there is hope they can get the rest OFF the DNC plantation of doom and gloom.....
Too many fine blacks in America have contributed too much and spilled too much blood for the Republic to remain enslaved by the DNC and anchored in the despair of DNC dependency....
I’ll really celebrate if they ever work up the courage to figuratively hang their Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons and Calipso Louie Farrakhans — shut down the NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus and become simply AMERICANS.
I am going to be nice today!! I can’t bring myself to offend the hard working nice blacks,
But using history as a cruch by some will continue to fail.
I would welcome a move in this direction but must say if this is true it is not reflected in voting patterns, support or opposition to the liberal agenda, to socialist welfare schemes or to conservative proposals promoting individuality and self reliance over group identity politics.
With few exceptions blacks reliably come down on the side of liberal and leftist social engineers and propagandists time after time.
With the same few exceptions, when is the last time you have heard blacks or black organizations clammoring for lower taxes, less welfare and fewer taxpayer funded handouts to the lazy and indolent?
Look at the outrage recently directed at Bill Cosby when he dared to suggest that black students and parents are responsible for the failure of blacks to succeed in school or in jobs and careers.
The democrats are so confident their pandering to blacks will hold the black vote that they don't show any concern when republicans try to woo blacks away.
