    Yes black on black crime is an issue. You know why you don't hear about white on white crime as much? Population density. More poor black people live in cities. More poor white people live in more rural areas. It is much easier to commit high amounts of crime in a more densely populated area. Do people truly believe there would be less crime if the populations of the areas were reversed? If poor white people were primarily in the inner cities and poor black people were in more rural communities the crime rates would still be the same as they are now.

    People don't read or remember history either. Black men came back from WW2 and could not get jobs. This along with the "man in the house rule" destroyed the black nuclear family. This was like a snowball running downhill. This doesn't even account for all the anti-black laws. Hell I could have been selling a kilo of coke standing next to a black guy selling a few grams of crack and guess who would get more jail time. White America did everything we could to destroy the black family and then we b**** because the poor black community has these problems. It is asinine. People truly believe this **** can be resolved in 20 or 30 years when it has been a couple hundred years making it this way?

    Does the black community shoulder a lot of responsibility for fixing these issues? Yes.

    Does the white community for helping them fixing these issues we created? You're god**** right we do.

    @pgabriel knows there’s more communities out there than just white people and black people
    On top that he understands economics and education and how families influence that
    And even religion , not the god aspect, but setting moral standards and ethics of it

    I have said some things about young black males that I was called on and I regret them.

    I am in no position to criticize but I have not done anything to help out people that have not been born with the privilege I was born with.

    That being said we have had some instances of violence recently that fall in the category of the subject of this thread.

    The United Healthcare CEO murder and the New Orleans terrorist attack. The media and different groups with different causes and politicians take these tragedies and say look it's time for panic.

    The biggest problem in all these tragedies mental health. There is no crisis of Islamic terrorism, White nationalism or whatever category you want put the United Healthcare CEO murder in and the panic only creates more division in our country.

    We have to take a step back, take a deep breath when these incidents occur and access the underlying problem and not make these issues political opportunities

    Don't know if its black or white (your drug dealing example), I think its more that white people generally can afford better lawyers. The better defense you get the chances of being punished decrease dramatically (or at least the severity of it).

    Yup. The median white household has 10x more wealth than the median black household. That means the group that has significantly less wealth can't afford to extend trials and hence.... the plea deal, a powerful tool by the state to get innocent poor people behind bars or fine with a criminal record which reduces the amount of opportunities.

    This is very true. Hell sometimes you don't even go to trial if you have money.

    The issue isn't money for lawyers. The murder rate in the black community is 4x the rest of the country. I don't want to debate reasons

    Do you know what "cascading effect" or "positive feedback loop" means? How would it hypnotically apply to the claim you just made?

    I'm not here to debate causes, the results are REAL. violence

    The murder rates are real. The stats are based on convictions

    Think of how you were taught "problem solving"? Is part of problem solving....

    understanding why the problem exists?

    Im not here to debate it, we'll just go round and and round again. Do white people have more money, yes, causing less to commit crime, agreed. Leave it at that, thx

    So your entire goal here is to make sure people know Black people murder more and that's it?

    No I just disputed the assertion that money for lawyers is the problem with convictions

    You were disputing with that fact...

    Hence why i brought up the concept of "positive feedback loop" to dispute your dispute...

    And btw even with "convictions" the wealthier group will have less convictions due to being able to afford better layers, drag out legal process and not accept plea deals.

    Look into it, you'll see that thats mostly the case. Young black kids get court appointed lawyers way more often than their white peers, hence why they do more time.
