Are Blacks More Likely To Commit Crime? - Page 3

I do not agree with you. I would not mind walking around in any neighborhood. I do not care if the neighborhood is all black, white, yellow, red or purple. I find that if you treat each person you meet with respect you get respect back. If you treat people rudely and by the color of their skin your going to be in trouble. I feel that it is how your brought up and how your neighbor is that tends to "Wire" you as to make you more likely to be a criminal or not. We are all human. We are not animals. Going by the last guys statements me being a viking by heritage means I should be out raping and pillaging instead of working.

Insanity. That's how I would describe your post. I think you're disturbed. I don't believe for a second that black people have in their blood the potential to be criminals, you're saying that it's in their DNA my gosh man I think your post shows a hidden racist agenda.

Comments: Look at the UK national news when there has been a gang murder in London. They generally show you a nice little montage of who has killed/been killed so far this year. What do you see? A mosaic of angry little black faces. Enough said...

You don't have to be a statistician to look at the situation and say that "based on the numbers in our prisons, the answer is yes". African Americans are basically around 10 - 15% of the population, but make up a far greater percentage of the prison population at approximately 50%. We can argue that because of profiling that whites are getting away with "murder", but while I am sure it happens sometimes...it probably doesn't make up the statistical difference.

The criminal gene is a ridiculous idea as there are many african communities that have extremely low crime rates and criminal activity is more of a social issue as opposed to a genetic trait - like having brown eyes. With a statement like that we should be condemning all brown eyed people as they are more likely to commit crime. However, if you were to say there is a cultural bent within the African American community that increases the likelihood of someone going towards criminal activity...the data supports it.

This is why I posted Bill Cosby's speach. That was the message that he was making and I think it was on target. He focuses on appearance, education, speach and the family.

Someone mentioned that public entitlement programs foster criminal behavior. I have trouble buying into it. However, if you tell me that some of the government programs generate lazy people, I might agree with that. I would also agree with the old phrase that idle hands are the devils workshop, but you might be stretching it to link the two together. Why I say that is that the removal of the programs most likely is not a solution to the cultural problem.

Thomas Sowell, a African American columnist and Fellow at Stanford Univerisity not to mention probably one of the brightest guys any one of us could ever meet, has some interesting observations on where the current "authentic black culture" came from and you might get a it of a surprise in reading it. I did. Great book!

That said, statistically, if you are talking about all crime, violent or drug related crime the above is correct. If you are talking about white collar crime, the white male wins that competition hands down.

One of the stats I heard the other day was that 75% of all violent crime in the US today is caused by illegal immigrants. Now that shows me that it is not blacks who are doing the violent crimes but rather hispanics as they make up over 90% of all illegal immigrants in the US. Does this now mean that I should not be more wary around hispanics?

You see anyone can come up with a crime stat and use it to say this group is more trouble or that group is more trouble. People we all are human. In the society we have we can make a lot of decisions that are going to effect how our life turns out. How many times as you were growing up did you come up to a spot that you had to make a decision. It is those forks in your road of life that decides what type of person your doing to be in life. It does not matter the color of your skin it only matters what path you choose.

I believe that would be possible depending on where you live if it was a state number. However, the Bureau of Justice's stats wouldn't support it at this point...the trend is certainly going that way and they have broken down the reporting about anyway you can imagine.

It also may be a temporary spike due to the drug war on the border as I noticed that the hispanic drug related arrest have risen quite a bit in the recent year.

Comments: I am going to have to agree with JoePublic: Steven, MikeF, Tyrone, and Alfie.

What Alfie said about blacks committing more crimes in the UK is also true in NY state. These are two different environments, separated by a vast ocean! If you look at details like this, it does not seem scientific to claim environment is the reason. Here, it seems like everyday on the local news they show another black person who has committed a violent crime. Murder, robbery, and rape. You hear about the details of these crimes almost every night, and it boils the blood, and stirs up conflict in your heart. On the one hand you want the person who did this punished in the same way they hurt their victims. And, you would like to some how prevent this from happening in the future. And you recognize the obvious pattern of what these criminals tend to look like.

However, on the other hand, there is a conflict in you that you believe that life must be fair, that somehow, all people must have been created equal, otherwise everything is unfair, and any thought contrary to that does not have a place in your mind, because that would be too awful a realization. I know because I constantly feel this way. I am a scientist who looks at the facts. As a person I believe everyone has a spirit and is worth the same to God. So in this way I believe everyone is equal. However, physically speaking and as a scientist, I know everyone's bodies are not equal. As a person, I believe that a person's spirit is tied to their body so is influenced by their body, some people call this the sin nature. As a person, I believe that one person's sin nature, that is their body, is not anything like another person's sin nature, that is like another person's body, so this is how I rectify this conflict in my mind. It is about what you do with what you've got. It is always about this, because you can't do something with what you don't have.

So does that mean then that we can solve the problem like Hitler thought by killing the bodies that have these specific tendencies? Like putting down a breed of dog that tends to be violent or only allowing to breed those dogs that have good tendencies? Admittedly that would certainly fix the physical problem; however, we are people, we are spirits, not just physical bodies, we have wills, we, the real us, exist. If you destroy a person's body, you destroy the house in which they live. This is wrong. It is not their fault they were born to that body they possess.

Yet at the same time, we can't just let terrible awful crimes continue to happen. So we don't. To do something about these crimes is what the criminal justice system is all about. In European and Asian countries, the rule of law has been powerful and strict and has genetically selected for less violent societies. In Africa and in Indian cultures for generations, the people have run free and wild without the stricter rules of law suppressing those genes from being spread into their general population. These minorities have only had this strict law for the last couple hundred years or so, not like us. In other words, give it time, strict law will again select for better people's bodies than what we currently have out there.

I watched the video and was appalled and then read the comments and was appalled again (not with all).

I thought this was the 21st Century, where we are live in a multicultural world.

Racism just comes down to ignorance and pig-headness that some whites think they are the superior of all races. Comparing other races to dogs is just heinous. To say that white people have a higher IQ then blacks: Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandella, Barak Obama, Colin Powell, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Bill Cosby, Spike Lee, Queen Latifah And Louis Armstrong (to name, but a few) may disagree with that.

In agreement with KNtoran, I would go into an area with any colour. I actually don't see colour. I see the person. If I happen to dislike that person, it has nothing to do with the colour of their skin.
