    Why is 'hood' culture so violent?..

    I'm not an american so it's really hard for me to understand, but why are black people in USA (not the black people across the world) so violent?

    That Markieff Morris towel throw wasn't the first instance of that happening in the NBA. Funnily enough, the previous one I believe was Rasheed Wallace. Both times the victim that was attacked with the towel was a middle-aged white guy.

    Keep in mind Morris has a 4yr deal, not a 3yr deal. Brew for Morris straight up is about all the Rockets should give up and i'm not sure they should even do that deal even.

    Definitely not all. Kawhi Leonard seems like a super nice guy.

    However, there are probably zero white guys in the NBA who would do **** like that.

    Danny Ainge and Steve Blake come to mind as players with anger issues, but I don't think either of them have directed it at the coach.

    Yeah, every morning me and my fellow blacks in the hood, have to resist the urge to go out and beat and or shoot people. Every now and then, someone gives into the Hood Lust and commits an act of violence...which we all hold a BBQ with Mustard Greens and Grape Soda in their honor.

    Soooooooo two black guys throwing towels at people are more violent than other races shooting up movies, churches, malls, and schools?

    Word of advice, do not believe everything the media says.

    Poverty is a reason for crimes. Minorities are affected by poverty more, so they commit more crimes. Most NBA players are minorities, they had difficult childhood, their parents (usually just one, because other is unknown or in jail) didn't teach them how to be decent human beings because of their grandparents who didn't have proper education and values and so on and so on.
    On topic - how can you want this trash Morris on your team? No decent person would ever cheer for this thug.

    God Bless you if you really think those numbers are accurate. Sorry you feel us Black People in USA are so violent. But if you google some of America's biggest tragedies that three years dealing with violence let me know if it's all Black People.

    These numbers are accurate. This stat was posted some time ago in here and I asked for link. It links to an official US government's site.

    Got you, these are violent assaults that are reported, and assaults which can mean a multitude of things i.e. harassment or verbal attack.

    But my fault I should not have responded, that's on me. I should be weighing in on the Morris situation. Hopefully we find away to get Booker, doubt it though.

    I'm sure you believe the unemployment 'stats' or the global warming 'stats' though

    Most crime stats are the easiest to validate because they are reported and documented on a city , county and state level.



    If the government tried to inflate these numbers which makes absolutely zero sense. It would be easy for any journalist to catch and blast the government for fraud. Which would be idiocy on their part... High risk literally no reward. But they would never do in the first place.

    In fact the current regime would be more likely to try and sway the numbers in opposite if anything
