Statement is both right and wrong. There "is" a self-identified majority black culture which is at work. It identifies hard work (or study), good grades, speaking properly, etc. as "tryin' to be white", and punishes those who try to "do" those positive things as traitorous to the race.
Unfortunately, well-intentioned government policies have aided and abetted this anti-culture in many ways, but the most serious has been the destruction of the black nuclear family.
Ouch!
I don’t have the emotional free space to care about lives that I don’t know. I have to be selective. If the tv box says 6 people in Tulsa killed by tornado, I recognize that it is awful and I wish their families peace, but does it matter? Frankly, no.
If 6 people in Tulsa are killed by a foreign terrorist, murderer, or drunk driver, does it matter? Yes it does.
Do black lives matter? To who? Me? Why would they?
Whites have been trying just to be left alone by aggrieved blacks but just mcam’t get away. Now whites get murdered for being white and ehen they point it out, they are called racists.
I don’t care about blacks at this point, individual nlacks I know yes, but as a group, no. I don’t wish them harm, but I could care less avout their plight. It is self caused and now they think anti-white and other types of racism is justified. I have no sympathy left for blacks as a group. They need to shut up, clean up their act, admit their irresponsible behavior and their racism and contribute to the greater society around them.
I’m done. There is not an ounce of white guilt left in me necausebthere’s absolutely no justification given the opportunities they have and the destruction they’ve caused. It’s time for them to pay their debt.
FBI Expanded Homocide Data Table 6 (2014). You can download the data in an Excel spreadsheet and play with it however you choose.
In the interest of fairness, I will point out that the posted graph is incorrect on the white-on-black crime, with the decimal point being shifted. For 2014, the actual number is 7.6% of black homicides are committed by whites. That is still lower than one would expect if criminals and victims were evenly distributed between races.
I would like to see the FBI data broken out a bit more. It breaks out crime/victims by race and by ethnicity, but no further. I would like to see a further breakdown by ethnicity within races; I think that some very clear patterns would emerge. For example, I would expect both criminality and victimhood to be higher among white hispanics than white non-hispanics, given the violent gang culture prominent within the barrios.
Anyway, enjoy.
That is an interesting insight. I remember a black friend many years ago complaining about going "back home" to Minneapolis and finding that all her family and childhood friends all expected her to think a certain way and to like or dislike things because that is how blacks are supposed to behave. She considered herself an individual, not an indistinguishable bee in a black hive.
Democrats, in their unending attempt to implement socialism, encourage group think. And too many blacks have embraced that philosophy.
I have heard the racism charge hurtled so much at this point I automatically assume the charge is a lie.
I am also to the point that if I am called a racist I frankly just don’t give a damn any more. I’m not going to try and convince those making the charge otherwise because it’s a losing battle and not worth my time.
I am also to the point where I don’t think or feel any obligation to people of color. To be blunt I have heard the racism charge to the point I really don’t care and am ready to defend myself without remorse to those racist seeking violence as their solution. I have had enough.
Republicans have always wanted to, and have, helped black Americans, despite stiff opposition and hatred by Democrats.
So it is time for Republicans to consider that race relations between blacks and *everyone else*, not just whites, but Hispanics and Asians, have “irreconcilable differences”.
Simply put, many slave-descended American blacks are miserable in America, and have been for a very long time. So they should be given a “good” opportunity to emigrate to where they hope to live better lives.
The last and most successful of the “black repatriation” movements in the US was in the 1920s and ‘30s, run by a man named Marcus Garvey. His intent was to found a shipping line to take black Americans back to Africa.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Garvey
Today, Republicans could help organize an orderly emigration for black Americans who want to return to Africa and become citizens of an African nation. But we need to create incentives to make emigration an attractive alternative.
The project begins with the understanding that Africa is a gigantic continent. And many of the nations within are enormous in their own right, with vast unoccupied areas.
So the US leases a giant enclave from one of these nations. A 100 year lease. The US fences the enclave, not to keep the Americans in, but to keep uninvited Africans out, at least for a time. In the enclave, the US builds a city, with its own power, water, eventually food production, and low cost stores full of consumer goods and free food and medical supplies.
Half the enclave is for voluntary repatriations. The other half is somewhat like a minimum security prison. This is so that US prisoners, except for life and death sentence prisoners, can have their sentences commuted on condition they leave the US for good. Then it will be up to the “free citizens” in the enclave to decide when, and if, the former felons can join them.
Those Americans who go there will have dual citizenship for say, five years, then they will become citizens of their new homeland.
The bottom line to all of this is to present black Americans with the chance to leave a country they do not like, for a better, more prosperous life in a new country.
It should be so attractive that they will wait in long lines for the chance to move there.
I agree that the ‘flawed’ system that he identifies certainly exists but it’s based on a political ideology that draws its power from victimization and subjugation. Ask who benefits from this oppressive environment and the answer is inescapable; Democrats.
The example of long liberal dominated cities where Blacks are a majority or plurality tend to support your thesis. Detroit, New Orleans, Newark, Flint, Cleveland . . . just to throw out a few examples.
Well put; with our open borders many whites don’t even see blacks anymore - therefore there is little reason to pay them much mind at all. BTW, blacks realize this has happened, and that is why they try to shut down freeways; if they aren’t inconveniencing working whites, then they don’t exist at all. They are watching their scapegoats disappear from their sight, taking their incomes with them...
A black 4th grade teacher told me once one of the highest insults leveled at the smart black kids by other black kids was “you actin’ white” It was specifically meant to have the smart ones stop showing off/up the stupid ones.
While your post supports my early assertion, I was thinking more about when whites AREN’T around blacks. We aren’t even thinking about it, much less “down wthe struggle.” There are too many other more pressing issues to fool around with some kind of racist conspiracy.
Thanks. That fits better with what I thought I knew about the numbers. I guess that red arrow really IS “systemic racism”.
Still an interesting chart... No need to lie on it.
Libs have kept them down, and their own groupthink has kept them down.
That is factual
Ask the democrat party. They are experts on this subject.
Of COURSE we do!!!
Otherwise we'd quit SUBSIDIZING all of the bastard children.
let the flames begin.
No; we don’t.
