    Actions speak louder than words.

    No problem at all knowing the murder rate. Also no problem at all knowing the rate of victims.

    Hopefully anyone that's aware of it will dive deeper, which you are unwilling to do.

    Poverty doesn't cause murder. Murder is caused by lack of value for life. Because I don't by your causes doesn't mean I'm unwilling to explore the causes

    I'm saying your life has not been held back by racism. A cop disrespecting you doesn't hols back your progress.

    Like I said. The stats don't matter if people won't look deeper.

    That's like saying a bad toxic household as a child doesn't contribute to mental health issues as an adult.

    You prosecute individuals for murder. You punish them for it. But as a society you have to look at the causes at a societal level

    Poverty means people live more desperately. People who live more desperately will have more petty disputes over minor things like bill paying. All those minor things add up and develop tension and toxicity. Eventually that can lead to people being more prone to violent crime.

    This isn't Guatemala. The country does have safety nets. Liberals keep telling the poor they're not enough and the country hates them. That breeds hopelessness

    Liberals don't look deeper. You want to use the same causes for problems 50 years ago

    Yes because poor people in the US don't have to struggle to pay bills, don't live paycheck to paycheck etc.

    Also, you need to learn the concept of "relativism". We are comparing crime rates for two entities inside a closed system. You are the one who brought up the rates.


    People feel hopelessness from their experiences, not political punditry. You think poor African Americans that struggle to live paycheck to paycheck have time to read Jacobin magazine or something? Do you think they consume socialist content? They are too busy with their lives to be knee deep in political content.

    If you want to rail against ignorance start with your own thread title which contains a massive logical fallacy.

    A big assumption considering the whole point of the movement BLM is about UNARMED black men getting shot, not violent criminals. Black men make up 6% of the population but 40% of the people who are shot yet unarmed.

    You think poor don't have cell phones and get on social media sites. Again this isn't Guatemala.

    The point about murder rate is police encounter more violent Black suspects but shoot more white suspects. Yet the media breeds a distrust of police with the information it emphasizes

    Just so you know, there have been actual studies. Some have been posted before. You don't look into them or pay attention but simply come back to the same ultra-shallow look at issues each time a white person commits a mass shooting, particularly if racism is at play.

    You are very transparent at what your doing.

    The feelings of hopelessness are exacerbated by media reporting. Again the point of the thread is all Blacks think police shoot more Blacks.

    Everybody can't be Steve Harvey, he has a unique talent that he can monetize, you act like anybody can just be a comedian through hard work.

    And Steve Harvey is an outlier of a comedian there are 100's of black comedians who have worked just as hard or Harder the Harvey and have not made it.

    What way is Steve showing that everyone is missing?

    Out of a group of white families that have 120 grand in wealth per household vs a group of white families with 20 grand in wealth per household, which group is going to have higher crime rates?

    Every individual handles things totally different... So you can not say or know what happens to any individual in any situation....

    Have you faced Racism yet???

    When you do, then we can talk....

    Yes. Start cussing and be aggressive. That way people will be 100% sure you are from Houston and not a Russian troll who hacked an account. Very believable.
