That's racist!

[Godfatha]

Racist gets thrown around way too easily. A racist would say that X person is inferior because of their race. If one says that the problem is a cultural or environmental one, that is not racist.

I feel like you’re wasting my time with your weak arguments.


So, again, rap music is your strongest argument? What I want said is the truth. Anyone coming to this thread thinking black people are a failure and that they are the sole reason to why should have their head examined. You want a link? Here you go: NAACP | Criminal Justice Fact Sheet


The root cause is rap music??? Your entire argument is laughable and doesn’t make sense.

LMAO. I gave you one example of poor culture as rap music promoting violence, drugs, and objectifying women. I then literally linked you to 3 studies, and told you the main problem is single-parent households. Or did you already forget that after circling your fish-bowl once? You say a whole lot to have literally said nothing. You've also yet to produce an argument, just abstract ideas and projection. My argument that people growing up without a father leads them to making poor choices in life is laughable? Thanks for linking me to an opinion piece, by a biased source.

Conviction is a wonderful thing and it appears you have it. Truly elated for you. I am not going to pretend that the judicial system in this country is perfect because it is not. Systems ran by people have flaws. You will probably disagree but most people who become imprisoned are the culprits of their own downfall.

The bolded contradict

Keep up please. You provided three links showing a discrepancy. You have yet to explain why the discrepancy exists (blaming rap music is laughable).
I also provided you with a link, per request, as to why there is this discrepancy. You missed it in your haste to continue your fallacy

Xir actually agreed with that but wants to blame white supremacy for everything from xit's stubbed toe to the fact that xir can't roll himself out of bed anymore and any ill in the world.

Then who is to blame if a person commits a crime and goes to prison? The offender is to blame correct? For example, if I punch someone and break their nose is it the recipients fault for having a punchable face? Or my fault for assaulting that person? Or the inherently flawed system?

 

[BayVol7]

I just would like to see either of them state something of significance. You can't run from facts. They keep asking why, why, why without stating their opinion, because they don't have one other than white people racist. The only institutional racism today is for black people not against. Free farmland, free state-funded university tuition, free money to poor PoC families, quota representation by government contracts, etc.

This is white privilege. The absolute worst kind.
Go. Get. Educated.

The system focuses on the whole, not an isolated instance.
If one segment of our population is disproportionately affected, there is a problem....

 

[LouderVol]

biggest consumer of black culture is white folks.

good post

Uh yeah there are more of us. So that would make us bigger in that context. Not sure what point is being made, but the number of white people doesnt seem informative here.

Idk why its so hard for my fellow white people to try to live in someone else's shoes for once. Its super weird.

If they had mixed race children this stuff would be obvious to them, and yet thats the only way to make it obvious because they are incapable of empathy. sad

I didn't blame rap music you imbecile. It was a singular example of the poor culture. You STILL haven't made a statement on why you think the discrepancy exists. Are you saying it's because they're all in jail? That's pretty easily disproven. So please educate me with all your wisdom. Also you asked why, I gave you the reason why. Now you're asking me the reason behind the second why. I don't know why black men have a significantly higher tendency to not become fathers to their children, and I doubt any study will explain that with statistics. I can theorize why. Asians have a strong sense of family and the lowest divorce rates in the country. They also commit the lowest percentages of crime per capita, and they have the highest income. It seems more fathers=better results. Like I said, it's simple. Keep up please, while you continue your fallacy of sunshine and rainbows in the black community.

I have a mixed race child.

I tend to shy away from liberal indoctrination so I'll pass. Even with all that money being thrown at achieving equality in all of those examples, nothing seems to change. Maybe we should look at the root of the problem. Present fathers.

I have a mixed race child.

awesome. they really are beautiful. that's how I know God wants us to intermingle and not be racist. Our mixed race children are always beautiful.

Its silly lol but thats how I think sometimes.

It’s probably because they don’t want self pity.

It can't be that because nobody is better at "self pity" than the crusty old white dudes

 

[Rickyvol77]

this is just you trying to save face afterwards. Obviously the discussion was on race and the black community. We are all adults here

again please point out the exact "racist" comment i made in your opinion

 

[Ttucke11]

Men are more disproportionately charged and convicted with violent crimes than women. Using your "logic" men are being targeted. The arrest and conviction rates for men and women should be the same in this regard.

speaking of "racism" lol you are the biggest hypocrite ever. I didn't even mention race was a factor

Hey look someone who is prejudice pretending they are the enlightened one. Let us change that sentence with two adjectives and see how it sounds "it can't be that because nobody is better at self pity than crusty young black dudes".

You've proven my statement about self pity correct

Not at all. They are not contradictory at all. You are playing absolutes. The system can be broke, and is, and people can be dumb, and are.

 

[dovervolz]

OMG this is a terrible post. I cannot imagine living life like you do, so ignorant

Ricky’s post is right on the money. Maybe you need to try to change your life and not worry about his

That you are bigot? Yes, I am aware you are.
