America’s “Poorest White Town” Proves Link between Race and Crime

But, they aren't killing and robbing anyone are they. To truly answer your question we need only look to the bible....

Matthew 9:10-12: 10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

 

Racism don't keep these people down. Their actions keep them down. Anyone who says otherwise is sadly mistaken.

 

Oh neat.. you quote scripture... KY has another kind of ghetto.. People are dying all over Kentucky of Heroin overdoses.

 

Even worse, they are attacking and torturing mentally ill white people.

But you dont care about that huh? Racist.

 

Two little girls, 11 and 12, were shot in the head in separate shootings tonight in Chicago. In separate shootings. Blacks killing blacks, not drugs killing addicts.

 

What are they doing in Chicago?

 

Legalizing heroin will solve that, or at least that's what I'm told.

 

The biggest constant that is killing a large part of the black community is the out of wedlock births. That part of the black culture must change and many black leaders either deny it exists or do nothing about it.

 

In their hopelessness they escape through church or opiates. Perhaps both.

The black poverty areas, exhibit high crime, violence, thuggery and criminal gangs. This is one of the diseases of civilization. Older societies being less civilized by modern standards would not suffer the problem we see with black culture. The majority would kill them like dogs and leave them for the vultures to bury. Such behavior would not have been tolerated. Which makes one wonder if those older societies were more civilized than we are?

 

This was proven in the late 19th century with the Chinese ghettoes. Opium, poverty, next to no violent crime.

 

Yet culture and race correlate. Go figure.

 

Yet it was a multiple of the white rate.

Go figure.

 

Please direct me to the million plus city that ISN'T overrepresented by blacks.

SF is too small. LA substitutes Mexicans.

 

Doesn't this just prove that you are better off being a poor white than a poor black?

 

Easy. It's the people I avoid.

 

Correction "Black communities in the slums" = Poverty is the issue

 

This suggests crime did drop in the 30's. What is your source? https://www.city-journal.org/html/crime-and-great-recession-13399.html

 

Roughly twice as many whites live in poverty as blacks. Were poverty the driving force behind crime, whites would be responsible for twice the number of crimes as blacks. As we know, that is not the case. Blacks between the ages of 14 and 44, roughly 6% of the US population -- or 19 million -- commit just over 50% of the crime in the US. Hispanics commit roughly 25%, and the 225 million whites in the US commit the balance.

It's not poverty, it's culture. the end.

 

Of course there is a problem, but its not just a problem in the BC.

First of all how in the hell do you know what I care or don't care about. Why does the BC suffer more than anyone else from this issue?

That's just it folks like you don't address the issue, you just stand around and point your finger and in most cases you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

When you want to talk about real solutions to the problems let me know.

 

I don't know if I, personnally, would have offered links to this article, with its neo-nazi adds.

Being poor is in itself acceptable, if one isn't in contact with poeple who have way more money than you are, and are showing it. It creates envy.

Furthermore, I would like to see the demographics. That white town's population would be aged that it wouldn't suprise me.

 

You think this is unique to black people? Try again.

The article clearly states this town is also beleaguered by drugs. But there isn't the violent crime. That's the point.

 

And yet there isn't the violent crime, which is the entire point. The discussion isn't about drugs and welfare. It's about violent crime. There is a subculture of violence in the black community, where the conditions (poverty, drugs, welfare, unemployment) are identical to poor white communities. Get it?

 

So nobody is bothered that "The New Observer" is obviously a white supremacist site that calls people who planted bombs in Gothenburg, Sweden as "patriots?"

1,372 inhabitants.

Hell, they're probably all family...

 

Grab the same 1,372 inhabitants of St. Louis and come back with the violent crime rate per those 1,372.
