It seems to be a common trend in Western societies that Blacks commit a disporportinate number of crimes. But do Blacks really commit more crimes than other races?

Lets have a debate about it.

[Sadsidioribre]

Yes it is true. Statistics prove it.
The point is, so what? There are many talented black people too.

[Sleedyhex]

According to statistics yes, but the question is, how does it corelate with other statistics (poverty, education, social hierarchy, drug use, emloyment etc). Pure statistics say nothing about causes but show symptoms only.

[Pataacculakp]

it depends on how you look at it. when we are talking about white collar crimes, or large scale organized crime this is almost always white controlled. i.e. irish italian and russian crime syndicates, though central american cartels are also a big factor in those kinds of things. i.e. drug and gun smuggling, human trafficking, extortion, murder for hire etc. when we are talking about gang related problems, this is almost always black or hispanic oriented. low to mid level drug dealing, robberies, assaults, home invasions, drug related homicides, shootings. as far as whites (and in this instance i am talking about poor whites) they have a high instance of drug and alchohol abuse which leads to other sorts of similar crimes like domestic violence, assaults, theft and burglarly, low level drug dealing, and occasionally armed robberies/muggings but there is not alot of violence associated with them because there is very little organized crime among poor whites like their is with poor blacks/hispanics etc.

basically, if you park your car in the projects or a trailer park, you have about the same likelyhood of coming back and finding things stolen from it. but if you are walking through the projects as opposed to a trailer park, your likelyhood of being robbed or assaulted is less in the white ghettos than it is in a black or hispanic one.

Most victims of "Black crime" are Black people themselves, people try to use statistics to prove Black criminals mostly target another races.

I think the fact that blacks in the US may commit more crimes overall is due to the fact that as a whole they are much more socially disadvantaged compared to whites. The US government keeps it this way as it is a result of colonialism still.

Yes they are "socially disadvantaged".
They have to go to black only schools and receive a poor education. Nobody will give them a job. I mean everybody of course would rather hire a stupid white man than a smart black man.
I mean can you imagine there ever being a black president? It won't happen in the next 100 years if the white man doesn't stop keeping the brothers down.

Don't be a dunderf*ck. The US government keeps things MORE THAN FAIR. In fact, not only are public schools integrated by maximum effort, but blacks are given a headstart in so many areas. This colonialism statement of yours is as dumb as a sack of hay. WTF? "The US government keeps it this way as it is a result of colonialism still." I am offended by your idiocy.

The central problem with African Americans is that there is an identity issue. So some blacks, struggle with trying to create their own identity. If you think about it, only 50 years ago, segregation still existed. That's fairly recent. Some blacks probably have parents and grandparents that had to go through it.

How some of them try to create their own identity? By forming gangs, by being territorial about their hood etc. They want to feel that in a sense they belong and that the world owes them something for what they've experienced.

Of course, not all black people have this problem. But I do see where it comes from.

Even today, I have black friends who are in college, who are questioned by the police for any little thing just for being black. Sad, but true. "One bad apple ruins the batch."

Both of my parents experienced the tail end of segregation/Jim crow. Though they did not turn out to be criminals, and neither have I.

Aware me on how Blacks have a headstart in so many areas, I ask out of sheer curiosity

You actually bring up a good point.African Americans are a mix of different ethnic groups and from what I read in the slave days many African families were broken up.America has one of the highest crime rates in the world,many in cities that are predominately African American ie. Detroit,St. Louis,Gary,etc.Alot are in the Midwest,where coincidentally it's called the "Rustbelt".

The internet is at your service for this information. But anyway, hiring, housing, bank-lending, college admissions...etc., etc. If you don't comply in carrying these practices out, you face a possible lawsuit.

I don't know how long this trend is going to last, but it's alive and kicking in America today.

[CAxrrAYN]

Yes, but the blacks doing these crimes are from the Ghettos.(low income, single parent, etc.)

[BgpOoGI2]

I didn't say that all of them turn out to be criminals. But I can see the purpose behind why gangs were created.

[Maymayfor]

One of three Blacks in the USA, between the age of 20 and 30, have problems with Law: jailing, trials. I'm not any expert but...

1- Blacks have more testosterone in blood. It makes them better in sports, but more agressive and impulsive too.

2- Blacks have an IQ around 70-80. It depends whether they have white gens or not. Anyway, this IQ only allowes you to do mechanicall, brainless tasks like cleaning houses up or building rooms... tasks which are being replacing my robotics little by little, so Blacks are more vulnerable to fall into unemployment.

And it's not a lie:





3- Genetic closeness help to cooperation. That's why societies like Japan or Australia works.

I wasn't saying that you were. I was really just adding on to your point that there are blacks alive today that experienced Jim Crow/Segregation

[Jeffery]

Yes, but the blacks doing these crimes are from the Ghettos.(low income, single parent, etc.)

1- Sometimes guettos are made by themselves, as we are made to have relationship with people genetically close to us.

2- Income and intelligence are related.

[WapSaibian]

Not to mention,African Americans are probably the least African culturally out of any NWB's.That goes along with the idea of a identity crisis.African American IQ,which is often used by "racists" to point out the crime rates,actually has little to do with crime.

actually of you do look at black-on-white vs. white-on-black crime stats, the disproportions are staggering especially in rape and violent crime categories in general.
