Your argument makes no sense at all. Quote:
BTW, the one good thing that the Clinton Adm did was to make it harder for certain individuals to get welfare and to stay on welfare.

You cannot hide, nor can you defend, the fact that statistically blacks commit more crimes (property and violent) than whites commit against blacks. If you have the stats to prove otherwise, I think Howi and I would like to see them. Quote:
Got any good ideas?

My personal experience indicates that the lower the economic class the greater the violence, regardless of race. As more blacks reside in the lower economic classes they are going to be more prone to violent behaviour. People who have more to lose tend to be more law abiding and percieve that that have as much to gain relatively speaking through violence. I would agree the the long term critical mass of poverty among the black community has had a cancerous effect on urban black culture to the degree the violence has become a more institutionalized way of life.

You can be poor and law abiding (we were poor growing up but were law abiding. Not having a dad around to serve as a role model is a surefire way to go into a life of crime and a never ending circle of poverty.

Your paragaph quoted D'Souza. My question is about who wrote your paragraph.

You live in dc so you know that the paragraph is true, but don't like the conclusion because it is a sad state of affairs and gives one(of us) a bit of pause or maybe guilt in admitting the truth. I don't think anyone likes the conclusion, but I challenge you to say you disagree with the quoted paragraph based on your personal observations. |

On an absolute basis that is true but given that we are discussing cultural behavoiur I would argue the percent of the population in poverty is more relevant. Poverty is far more "diluted" for white culture and less "cancerous"
In 2004, the poverty rate declined for Asians (9.8 percent in 2004, down from 11.8 percent in 2003), remained unchanged for Hispanics (21.9 percent) and blacks (24.7 percent) and rose for non-Hispanic whites (8.6 percent in 2004, up from 8.2 percent in 2003). |

In fact in one lily white neighborhood (blacks didn't dare move there) where I grew up violence was a primary means of establishing the social order. Oh yeah we all had dads too, some of them were drunks but we did have dads. Which to be fair and honest the kids with the dads (like mine) who kept them in line were the best behaved. Which leads us to the question as to why the fathers don't stick around to raise their kids in the black urban setting. Last edited by MBlovr; 06-22-2007 at 11:43 PM. |

As you mentioned, I don't particularly like the conclusions referred to in the quoted paragraph. Do you? The numbers do give me pause, but I don't know why they should make me feel guilt. As to the accuracy of the quoted statistics, this one does surprise me: Quote:
By the way, I found Howitzer's source. It's John Perazzo, whoever that is. His article apparently appeared in Frontpage magazine and was quoted on the freeper site: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3ab7a4b04168.htm I don't know who Perazzo is, but I wouldn't rely on the freepers for information. |

I have read of a few Johns getting held up though. Quote:
What really gets me is that Latino day laborers have provided a crash course on how young black men could get ahead in the world but they don't want to go that route apparently.
