    Finally show your true racist side? Good to know. We all know you only think black and brown people commit crimes. Hate to tell, even though percentages show blacks commit a higher percentage of crime vs. their population size, there are more crimes committed by whites and more white incarcerated.

    They were not tax evaders though. No one is claiming Bezos broke the law, they are just complaining that he didn't pay his "fair share".

    Young black men are overwhelmingly over represented in crime statistics. Blacks commit more total murders annually than the rest of the population. I'm a black man who is tired of seeing young black men waste their lives so I'm not worried about not being offended by telling truth

    I love all of us you just love yourself. Until we are honest about ghetto problems they will persist

    I think there is plenty of racism against blacks, but I agree to an extent. As a minority, who grew up in a poor black neighborhood, I found the lack of role models, single parent families, and very low expectations of behavior the main issues in black communities. What still baffles me is how some of the kids I grew up with looked up to drug dealers more than doctors, dentists, and lawyers that came from the hood. That is something I never understood. I guess being a drug dealer seemed more obtainable to them.

    The murder rate among blacks by itself would easily be top ten. Americans are violent overall but our numbers really drive up the overall number

    I know Russia isn't the nicest place. I know it's the capitol of credit card fraud, hacking, etc. So maybe I am wrong about them.

    There is something that Russians and poor communities in America have in common. They don't respect life and property very much. Dying and killing just isn't as big of a deal to them. Maybe they are numb to it. That is something psychologist can probably explain someday.

    What I find interesting is that Japan had a very violent culture up until the end of WWII, but pretty went in the opposite direction since the war. Maybe their respect for rules and order allowed them to switch in a relative heartbeat. Again, just a guess.

    Higher police presence means being shook more for small minor drug possession crimes that you wouldn't be caught with in as suburban kid. Rampant weed use in my school growing up in a upper middle class suburbs with some cocaine sprinkled in. Hardly any kids ever got arrested or had run ins with law enforcement. We were just policed less. The only interaction with law enforcement was our school resource officer.

    Remember when you applied to college and the application asked if you ever been arrested or criminally charged?

    Ya... That's why.

    There are two career routes for Americans. The route that has felonies on your record and the ones that don't. One route limits career choices where if you want to make decent money you need to start looking at proffesions where income or gains aren't taxed(gangs).

    Kids don't go to jail for weed in the hood either. There is one problem with young black males and crime. Lack of direction from home.

    Why is that so hard to admit. Blaming the war on drugs is so 90s. Until the real problem is addressed poor blacks will be stuck. Poor blacks have been stuck in place since the 70s

    So what you are arguing is that as a black man, you are more likely to commit a crime?

    Might be good to start with paying at least the same rate middle class folks do vs zero.

    It's highly misleading.

    There is menial jobs and then there is career route and military. Career route implies higher education. University applications always ask if you had a felony or have been arrested. It lessens your chances.

    Military service is a great route to obtain free higher education that can progress your life into a more fruitful life with a career. That's not an option for most with criminal felonies unless it's war time and the Marine Corps and Army are desperate for numbers.

    This is the liberal stupidity helping keep poor blacks from improving. We put issues because numbers don't lie
