    The proof is I'm the pudding. Just look at the FBI websites statistics, thier violence is out of control. Look at thier living spaces, they are the most dangerous places in America. Go talk to them. Live with them. Do some research. Observe the rap music which in mamy cases describes exactly where they are from and what they have seen and done anf thier values. Apply some critical thinking and catch up. If you are so out of touch that you do not know this then you probably can't be helped. The only explanation is you choose to be.

    A culture that embraces violence to solve individual problems and disagreements. A selfish attitude that says to simple do and take what you want, and (*)(*)(*)(*) everyone else. I mean I could go on but I think you know what I'm referring to.

    And although this shouldn't be necessary, NO not all black people are like that. Yes, every race embraces this culture to some degree. But it's obvious to any objectively thinking, average IQ person that there is a pattern of this happening far more in the black community than others.

    Source?

    If violent crime was bad at the start of the depression, it was probably due to Prohibition.

    The GDP really didn't improve until WW II.

    He said "black community embrace a thug culture which is inherently not cohesive with civilized society".

    That is a fact and I honestly ...and quite literally ...have no idea how you could contest that fact.

    How can you possibly be so blind to the fact that the vast majority of Black communities in America have, for a fact, embraced thug culture?

    How can we ever address the problem when liberals are so belligerently active in suppressing the truth about it?

    Progressive pick pocket media will say fly-over-country poverty is different than la-la-land poverty. The former lack standing to be poor criminals and the latter are admitted to the ranks of the criminal poor through affirmative action quotas. </sarcasm>

    I would also include the lack of diversity in this town which makes everyone feel like they're part of the same team.

    This excuse doesn't fit into the reality that statistics for black families were better 40 years ago. The current culture is a result of government actions.

    Already answered this. Scroll up. Keep up.

    We cant fix issues if people like you are so reluctant to even accept there is a problem. And tbh its the black community that suffers the most from this issue, so I would expect you (someone who ONLY cares about black people) to be interested in addressing the issue. Cant address the issue if you rather unintelligently refuse to accept its there.

    My wife grew up in Pikeville....almost next door, and I will attest that the "Crime Rate" is totally underreported in the area because there are almost no people and even fewer police. When you have no phone and the sheriff is 20 miles away you just deal with it.

    Ever heard of the Hatfields and McCoys......not much has changed.

    The studies the author of the article noted were about violent crime not crime in general. To suggest poor white neighborhoods don't have crime that needs to be addressed is being naive at its worst.

    If you think that racism in this country magically ended when slavery was abolished, or when the Civil Rights Act was passed, or when we elected a black president, then you are sadly mistaken.

    No it didnt, it has been reversed.

    Now the black community is the most racist community we have.

    Racism is only the blame, and not the problem. Black Americans have created a veritable carnival of danger for themselves to live in. Whites aren't doing drive-byes and murdering black youths. Blacks are exploiting blacks in their own neighborhoods. Mothers getting shot dead while strolling their babies is not the white man oppressing the black. If you want to speak with authority about black life, spend some time in the ghettoes. I imagine you would depart with an entirely new outlook.

    Let me know when the black community prevents white children from attending their schools or buying houses in their neighborhoods.
