I grew up around blacks. I know it's nothing to do with arrest patterns. Experience tends to give you a one-up on people like you who listen to political rhetoric... no matter how smart Ron Paul is on foreign policy.
Yeah. I didn't turn to crime and violence to survive though. I wouldn't dream of it. I have morals. Just as many rich black celebs struggle with the legal system. The NBA & NFL is almost completely made up of rich black criminals/thugs. Sex assaults have nothing to do with poverty, but blacks top the charts in those. There's evidence all around that blacks' addiction to crime and violence has little to do with poverty.
Except your vision was formed by that environment. Many blacks are highly productive when brought up in an advantageous scenario, just like whites. You are a product of where you grew up, and the prevailing attitudes that surrounded you, probably your family as well. The white poor need to point to someone that empowers them when their lives don't, and frequently point to blacks in the same situation as themselves to find a scapegoat to justify their own failures.
Uppitiness basically means the state or act of being uppity, so here are a couple of definitions of uppity with respect to Blacks in America. UPPITY Word used by racist old white Southerners to refer to any black person who looks them in the eye. Usually followed by (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). As in: "That uppity (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) is not working in the cotton field like he should be." Origin of the word Uppity 1. 1880, from up + -ity; originally used by blacks of other blacks felt to be too self-assertive (first recorded use is in "Uncle Remus"). The parallel British variant uppish (167 originally meant "lavish;" the sense of "conceited, arrogant" being first recorded 1734. Get the picture, white sheet boy?
Garbage. I didn't say I was poor now. I'm in my early 30s. This isn't about scapegoats. It's about looking around as a youngster and noticing there's something not quite right with black "people" and now I find their behavior UNACCEPTABLE in what is SUPPOSED to be a CIVILIZED SOCIETY. Just as many rich and educated blacks struggle with acting civilized. I can post links to numerous black educators who have been arrested for violent behavior. Don't try and humiliate me with your condescending attitude and immature/inaccurate judgements when you have no idea what you're talking about due to your complete lack of interaction with the black "race." It's childish.
A simple FACT to ponder By percentage of population blacks commit MORE crime than whites. So yes if a police officer sees a black person out in a white neighborhood the officer is justified in pulling the black person over to see whats going one. Yes it is out to do all one can to protect ones family from black crime by any means. And this B/S that its cos black poverty is just that...B/S. Blacks are in poverty because of their own actions.
Sweety, I didn't say you were poor now. I said that the environment you grew up in was, and the formative years were spent with white poor who needed someone to blame. You learned your lessons well. What is childish is ignoring the information I have provided you before about having lived in NYC and now in North Carolina, both with large black populations. You don't get to simply ignore the parts of people's posts that don't support your fantasies, and then lie like you haven't heard them. The only one humiliating you is.....you.
BLACK on white crime is far more prevalent than white on black crime...your argument is not only stupid but irrelevant.
So jumping to conclusions about black people is acceptable, but wrong when it comes to whites? You know why so many innocent people are arrested? Its because cops jump the gun and ASSUME someone is guilty without having the evidnce to prove it.
the STATS back what i have said Mak therefore its NOT jumping the gun.. Again i remind you that your argument is stupid AND irrelevant...
I am on topic. I gave you the name of a person who was innocent when they went to prison. Should I find a list of innocent black people?
I believe in profiling which is based off statistics. Here in Idaho, most crimes are not committed by black people; it's most likely committed by white people or even hispanics (depending on what part of the state you are in). Statistics is based off of facts, not racial bigotry.
