In 1994, African Americans accounted for 45 percent and 50 percent of crimes for murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. In general, African Americans are approximately six times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes than are whites. African Americans are also most overrepresented in robbery in 1993, comprising 62 percent of arrestees. African Americans accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites while blacks account for less than 15% of people living in the United States.
1)Black people tend to inherit nothing but dust and live in giant socioeconomic shitholes known as ghettos.
2)Black people are often poor, being poor makes you stupid, because being poor usually means inadequate nutrition and a shitty environment full of shitty people, being stupid from your shitty environment and nutrition tends to make you more violent, because the more stupid you are the more likely you are to needlessly commit acts the violence, and the more poor you are the more likely you are to need to commit violence at some point in your life to sustain your own black ass.
3)Black people often have higher testosterone levels which make them more violent.
4) Black people have lower IQ's than white people on average, both for genetic reasons and environmental reasons, but not all populations of blacks are so stupid, I am not making any form of racist statement here, there are populations and individuals within every race that have various placements on the intelligence spectrum. But blacks who have that unique combination of a horrible environment and those border line retard genetics which are present in certain african and african-american gene pools are among the stupidest people on earth.
5)Black people don't like to be called names. That's what my black Karate instructor told me after he hit me with a bokken for calling him a nigger when I was a 12 year old green belt.
Did you know that Californians account for 17% of all people shot and killed by police this year despite only accounting for 1/50th of the States of the Union? Why do cops target Californians?
And when are we going to discuss the overtly sexist policing of this country? 95% of the people shot and killed by police this year are males despite them only making up 49.2% of the population.
Dermot, I assure you that your premise is false. The matter has been studied extensively by criminologists and for decades it has been known that the correlation of violence exists between poverty and crime, not dark skin and crime.
It has nothing to do with skin color. Their culture is anti police and the belief that they are oppressed. Their criminality stems from their beliefs. The blacks who escape this mindset or weren't born into it, succeed and do well.
While you are correct that there is a correlation between poverty and crime, there is also a correlation in the US between blacks and poverty. Poverty is the lurking variable left out of the debate topic. As a result, it is accurate to say that black people are statistically more likely to be involved with violent crime in the US, though it would be incorrect to infer that this is causal in any way. There is nothing about ones pigment that relates to ones propensity for violence.
Skin pigment and violence do not relate causally, but they can correlate statistically. There is a fallacy in assuming all Blacks or all Black communities are a single gene pool. The Black genes in the middle class suburbs are much more likely to mix with any genes in the suburbs than they are to mix with any genes in the poor inner city districts.
Importantly, genepools do tend to cluster unrelated genes together. Because of this, when an environment selects out for a gene that contributes to survival, it may simultaneously preserve a gene that has nothing to do with surviving in that environment.
It is unclear whether there is a statistically significant difference between distinct American gene pools in the rate of various genes that contribute to traits like high aggression, low conscientiousness, low intelligence, and other characteristics known to have a high correlation with criminal activity.
We do know that different African American populations have different crime rates. Why would Milwaukee have a higher rate than Dallas, for example? Local culture is a likely influence, but there may be a genetic component that is more common in the Milwaukee gene pool than in the Dallas gene pool.
The fact that inner cities have higher violent crime rates than suburbs may also have a genetic component. As individuals from poor inner city districts achieve success, they tend to migrate to the suburbs, taking their genes (and whatever advantage those genes confer) with them. This leaves a higher concentration of "unsuccessful" genes, some of which correlate with criminal activity) in the inner city.
The result is selection in favor of keeping genes that predispose people to engage in particular sorts of criminal behaviors in the inner city. This can have the net effect of genetic drift in some populations toward higher aggression and lower conscientiousness and intelligence. The genes for darker pigment are just along for the ride, and have nothing to do with anything. The same factors contribute to similar issues in Appalachia, and why Appalachian communities differ so much from other majority White communities.
Poor white people in the inner city are also more prone to violence. The assertion that genes for darker pigment are along for the ride with genes for crime and violence is questionable. I believe there is more explaining power in local culture and other environmental factors than there is in local genetics.
Poor white people in the inner city are also more prone to violence.
Absolutely.
I was just following up the skin pigment correlation with other genetic factors in the gene pool in terms of the topic of the post.
I believe there is more explaining power in local culture and other environmental factors than there is in local genetics.
It is difficult to tell for sure which factor (nature or nurture) dominates. What is obvious is that both make a difference.
We know that neither is sufficient on its own to address the fact that some family lines get stuck in poverty and crime-blighted communities for several generations, whereas most do not. (Those individuals who graduate high school, get a job, and wait until marriage move into the middle class.) Over the course of two or three generations significant percentages of each family leave for the suburbs, college, military, etc.
The combination of genetic options and culture helps to explain why folks in the same local culture make different choices and have different outcomes, and why folks with similar genetic sets for intelligence, aggressiveness, conscientiousness make different choices and have different outcomes.
Nom I rarely ask the easy questions most people shy away from talking about theses issues and do anything to avoid taking a position , the racism card is played and used all the time when questions like this are asked and that normally stops any meaningful exchanges taking place .
Skin colour had to come into it because that's what all the stats are saying that the figures for African American crime rates are way higher than for any other group /class /colour that's a cold hard fact and cannot be denied .
Of course skin colour does not make one a criminal but the majority of criminals are indeed black so what are the causes ?
If poverty is claimed as the driving reason why is it still so in the U S ?
Are blacks totally powerless and have no other options except crime ?
Historical slavery was used as a justification for the plight of of modern day black Americans yesterday, my counter to that is look at my country as in Ireland and the wretched , ragged , starving victims of famine that fled to America only for the majority to be spit on , mocked , beaten and denied opportunity this was universal in its nature yet what happened , we succeeded, integrated and have people in all parts of American society from the top down .
What makes African Americans so different in this way ?
I wouldn't want to say it is a causal link because as far as I am aware there isn't good evidence for this (though it is widely accepted as the case). However, since blacks are poorer than whites on average and a correlation exists between poverty and crime it makes sense that blacks would have a higher crime rate than whites, provided other factors aren't confounding. An interesting exploration of the correlation between poverty and crime and potential causal factors can be found here:
The link I cited does go into this, with both poverty suggested as a cause for violence and vice versa, potential co-correlates are also proposed. I view the relationship as complicated because to me it appears all of the above are somewhat true.
The correlation between poverty and violence, and the correlation between poverty and crime (in general) are very often put in the causal order you used, which is that the poverty is the cause.
I think it makes at least as much sense, and that there is a more direct causal link if we order them the other way around: Violence and crime cause poverty. This works on both an individual and community level.
When there is widespread violence/crime in a neighborhood, that disrupts commerce, causes potential employers to move their businesses elsewhere, raises prices on locally sold consumer goods, lowers property values, discourages/distracts students from focusing on their studies and maintaining good attendance, etc. All of these pretty directly cause poverty by limiting economic mechanisms for building wealth, such as steady local employment, entrepreneurship, home value appreciation, and accrual of personal and financial capital.
On top of this, incarceration almost guarantees poverty because it stops earning power while in jail/prison, limits opportunities afterward, leaves families/offspring without financial support, and retards enculturation of children whose parent/s are unable to guide them due to being incarcerated.
I do not believe the causal relationship has been established between these correlates, hence my question. I don't disagree that there is a causal element as you describe, but I believe there is more to it. I believe there are other factors that affect both poverty and crime, linking them in a non-causal way in addition to aspects of a causal relationship that goes in both directions.
By this I mean that poverty and crime both stem from the hidden variables. For example, the characteristic of short-sightedness, which can be created genetically as well as environmentally, can lead to thoughtless action; sometimes violent, and sometimes unprofessional (causing job loss). In addition to hidden variables, I believe that some circumstances of poverty can breed crime. Selling drugs is easy and can put food on the table. In addition to this crime, a host of other supporting crimes (often violent) accompany the illicit occupation. Then of course there is the causal relationship going the other way as you illustrated.
I have to disagree somewhat about incarceration. While it does significantly hinder economic life for the incarcerated and there family, it is not a guarantee of poverty in the long run.

That totally makes sense, and is a salient point.
I have to disagree somewhat about incarceration. While it does significantly hinder economic life for the incarcerated and there family, it is not a guarantee of poverty in the long run.
You are correct, of course.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I did not mean to imply poverty is a permanent result, but rather a generally immediate one that reliably lasts the duration of the incarceration. If a parent is in prison, for example, the family loses whatever that parent's earning power was.
Generally, there is a lag after release before any of that earning power returns, but there is no reason to believe it would not eventually return.
Obviously, the duration of incarceration plays into this, as do the pre-incarceration financial situation and the legal bills for the trial.
My understanding of what you have said, WinstonC, is that you believe all black people are raised without fathers, resulting in increased violence. I agree with you that poverty and culture are important factors in the way a person is raised, and I sincerely hope that your inclusion of "fatherlessness" was just a poorly played joke on a racial stereotype. In response to FactMachine, I can see how you would believe that one bad thing leads to another, but I believe a clear logical fallacy was committed in your argument. My interpretation of your argument is that black people are poor, and being poor leads to lack of intelligence, and that lack of intelligence leads to an unreasonable need to commit crimes to maintain their poor lifestyle. Unfortunately the facts you are listing have been scientifically proven false (click the link) and fail to prove that black people are more violent than white people. Individuals are more violent than others, regardless of skin color. Black people are not more violent than white people.
Their words were clearly generalizing black people. They would benefit greatly from reevaluating the way they are writing their thoughts because as of now they are ill-defined and offensive. Three socioeconomic reasons are vaguely given. There is no evidence or reasoning behind his ideas. How is anyone supposed to know that they are not insinuating this about all black people if they do not clearly state it? I am only going to interpret their words and arguments to the best of my ability, and until they are made more specific I will continue to see it as the poor overgeneralization that it is.
Their words were clearly generalizing black people.
You should not be offended by statistics. Black people have higher statistical rates of fatherlessness, and fatherlessness statistically impacts poverty and crime. The fact that there are higher rates says nothing about a given black man. The fact that males have far higher rates of criminality than women says nothing about individual men. It does not mean that all men are criminals. Just as the fatherlessness in the black community cannot be applied to all black men. Which is why I said try again. It’s interesting that you didn’t take his other two reasons as offensive. It’s not as though all black people are poor, or all black people have cultural re-enforcers for crime.
Three socioeconomic reasons are vaguely given
Perhaps they were meant to start a conversation.
There is no evidence or reasoning behind his ideas
You provided your own reasoning for what you thought his ideas were (rather than simply asking him) and then presumed racism. Perhaps we can discuss what cultural factors may contribute to increased rates of violence, and whether the African American community has more instances of those cultural factors. Then we could discuss in what way poverty contributes to crime rate, if at all. Finally we could try to understand why fatherlessness correlates with higher rates of violence and why black people are statistically more likely to be fatherless.
This approach may even lead to some ideas for solutions.
My understanding of what you have said, WinstonC, is that you believe all black people are raised without fathers, resulting in increased violence.
I appreciate that you are stating why you disagree so clearly, because it shows not just that you missed what Winston was actually saying, but because it helps identify the source of the misunderstanding. Thanks.
Part of the problem is that you assume an implied "all" when what is being discussed are statistical aggregates, and why different populations' statistical aggregates differ. The topic is not all African Americans, but violent African Americans.
All the published statistics make it clear that the vast majority of American Blacks, (as well as Whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc.) are NOT poor, NOT violent, and NOT criminals.
However, there is a marked difference between the rates of these things by demographic group. The question is why, and I think it is an important question.
My interpretation of your argument is that black people are poor, and being poor leads to lack of intelligence, and that lack of intelligence leads to an unreasonable need to commit crimes to maintain their poor lifestyle.
You inferred some unstated causal relationships, and muddled which things cause what in the stated/implied ones.
Part of the problem is that you SEEM to be looking for some indication of racism where there is none. For example you say: I sincerely hope that your inclusion of "fatherlessness" was just a poorly played joke on a racial stereotype
Neither a joke nor a stereotype.
Single Parent Household rates per the Kids Count Data Center
Asian/Pacific Islander - - 17%
White - - - - - - - - - - - - 25%
Hispanic - - - - - - - - - - 42%
Indian - - - - - - - - - - - 52%
Black - - - - - - - - - - - - 67%
It is fine to disagree with the data or the logic, but the accusations of racial stereotyping get in the way.
The tendency for some people to make accusations of racial stereotyping, and to declare things offensive when they dislike the facts is a lot of why honest conversations about things like this are so hard to have, and to make productive of useful analysis.
"My understanding of what you have said, WinstonC, is that you believe all black people are raised without fathers, resulting in increased violence."
No, I'm commenting on a trend that exists; blacks have a higher rate of fatherlessness than average. As Marcusmoon has already noted, this is indeed true (Source 1).
As for the study you cited in reference to Factmachine (you should have put this part on Factmachine's post), you appear to have linked the wrong one because testosterone levels, while related, are not equal to instances of violence. If measured by the proportion of violent crimes committed by the race relative to the proportion of the demographic that is of that race then yes, blacks are more violent than whites (Source 2). This isn't to say that this is genetic, as aforementioned we know of three socioeconomic factors mediating this relationship; poverty, fatherlessness and culture.
I'd like to cite Ben Shapiro, "It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture."
Violence is not a gene encoded into the DNA of black people, nor is it that way for anyone on the planet. Often times, when you see this sort of violence occurring, it isn't most often taking place in middle-class suburban neighborhoods near middle-class public schools.
The top three cities with the highest murder rate (Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis) have a murder rate (per 100k people) of 43.82, 55.37, and 59.29--respectively.
The African American population in these three cities is 81.55%, 63.7%, and 18%-respectively.
The poverty rates in these three cities are 40%, 24%, and 30%--respectively.
African Americans aren't more violent than white people. There are just more African Americans living in negatively-cultured cities in the US--the bulk of them, from birth--and growing up in harsher circumstances, impacting them in their later lives.
There are plenty of African-American men and women in the United States who have been brought up in a rough culture in the US that disallowed them from being able to access certain things in their younger years, but rise from it eventually. 75% of people who are born into the lower class do not stay in the lower class. If they finish high school, enter the workforce/get an education, don't have babies before getting married, you fall into that 75%. There are plenty of African-Americans who have achieved success after living in impoverished cities.
Poverty has molded much of African American culture, making it more of a struggle. The violence then births racism, making it more difficult even for those not born into the poverty.
My stating a fact has you running for cover as usual and oddly enough I do not like black or white rapists , thieves or murderers so because you cannot address a simple question yet again you pathetically play your favourite race card ; so can you attempt to answer or do you wish to flee ?
But the whole site knows you're racist why state the obvious ?
Of course, you're a racist.. The PROOF is in the heading of THIS post.. The implication you're making, is that there's something WRONG with black people..
Ah , so stating a fact and proving it with stats terrifies you because as usual you cannot answer a simple question ;
so do you deny the figures ?
You cannot can you because they are factual and yes call me strange but there is something wrong with rapists , murderers and thieves whether black or white .
Now as usual bet you play the race card again as you cannot answer a simple question
Denying a fact is irrational , you've mocked the Irish , Mexicans and said you hated all whites you're a bigot and a racist
I START with the premise that black people are NO different than you and me.. Therefore, when I see statistics like you present, I look for reasons OTHER than their blackness to explain them.
You START with, there's something wrong with black people, and look no further.. Which is racist - pure and simple. So, it's no wonder we wind up at different places..
excon
PS> I'm white.. My grandchildren are white.. I don't hate white people. I don't KNOW any Irish people, and I LOVE Mexicans.
The people I HATE are LIARS and RACISTS like you.
PPS> By the way, EVERYTHING we say on this site is ARCHIVED.. If I said the things you accuse me of saying, PROVE it.. If you don't, you're admitting that YOU'RE the liar around here..
Well black people are different to me as in they're .... black ( tricky one this) and criminals are different to me as in they're criminals ..... ( really tricky )
The stats are to do with the differences between blacks and whites you idiot racism doesn't come into it ; there is something obviously wrong with blacks that commit crime and it's not racist to say so .
So how do you explain the difference remember you have now trapped yourself by your own stupidity as you cannot now use colour or alleged racism by whites as a defence for black criminality as you said you have other reasons ; so maybe you would like to " share" ?
You said you hated all whites , Native Americans , Mexicans and Irish so your an equal opportunities hater and a pretty poor liar
Lemme see.. White people started off in this great nation of ours as FREE people making a good life for themselves..
Black people started off as slaves.
SOME people can connect what we DID to black people with how they live today.. And, some can't.. Of course, we did much more than enslave them, but isn't slavery enough?
Still waiting for you to present PROOF of what you accuse me of saying.. Of course, you CAN'T, cause you're a LIAR.. Look.. I'm a nice guy.. Present the PROOF, and I'll APOLOGIZE..
But you said ......... Therefore, when I see statistics like you present, I look for reasons OTHER than their blackness to explain them.........
And what do you do .... use their blackness to explain 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 there's that darned logic getting you ......again
Yeah some people also like the Irish went through the great famine and went to America and succeeded, whys that now ? The Irish were originally hated in the U S so what's your next excuse ?
Denying you're a racist now your usual dance you're a natural born liar
And what do you do .... use their blackness to explain
Hello again, D:
In the literal sense, it's true.. Their blackness DID cause the white man to ENSLAVE him. But, in the real sense, it sounds like you're BLAMING black people for getting ENSLAVED..
excon
PS> Instead of flapping your gums about what I said, try searching.. It's not too hard.. You'd do it if you KNEW it was there.. That's why NOT doing it EXPOSES you..
But you said ......... Therefore, when I see statistics like you present, I look for reasons OTHER than their blackness to explain them.........
And now you admit you're .... wrong 👌 Where did I blame black people for being enslaved ?
And is that it your excuse for high criminality as in slavery is the root cause ? 😳😳😳
Instead of you constantly calling me a racist and a liar try searching.... it's not too hard ...... you'd do it if you KNEW it was there .....That's why NOT doing it EXPOSES you
We always wind up in a battle over what words mean, don't we? Well, I'm not gonna play this time.. I'll rest on my laurels..
There's another thing I think about when I see yours or Antrims "statistics".. There's lies, damned lies, and there's statistics. In case you don't understand those words, it's a phrase describing the power of numbers one uses to bolster a phony argument.
No I don't , you end up disputing simple simple terms like you do with everyone as you're ..... simple
You never did "play " as you stated ..... But you said ......... Therefore, when I see statistics like you present, I look for reasons OTHER than their blackness to explain them.........
And you used blackness to explain 😂😂😂 Ah , so the stats are lying now 😂😂 yes of course it's all a myth and it's not it's all a " phone " back to your head in the sand again and off to the black ghettos where crime is at all time low 👌😊
Let's delve a little deeper, shall we? Let's take a statistic that you and I can probably agree on.. Proportionately speaking, there are way MORE black people in prison than their population says there should be.
I'm supposing here, but you'd say, that stat proves that black people are wayy more criminal than white people.
I'd say, it's because black people get CAUGHT way more often than white people..
It's a subtle difference, having NOTHING to do with their criminality, and EVERYTHING to do with a police presence in their neighborhoods. Unless, of course, you think the cops patrol white neighborhoods like they do black ones.. You don't think that do you?
I suggest, that IF they did, the number of black people in prison would MATCH their proportionate population.. How's that for a stat??
excon
PS> Isn't this more interesting than who said what???
You end up saying....... PS> Isn't this more interesting than who said what???.......
That's hilarious , you're accusing me of using " who said what " when I used stats and you're using " who said what " to counter ..... facts 😳😳😳
You say and you say and you make it up as you go along ; actually black and white people complain about a lack of police on the streets in the U S and a foreigner is schooling you ...... again .
Again let's further your education break ins , rapes and murders are reported in black and white areas regardless of who is caught or not , how come reported crime levels are way higher in black areas ? ......... There's that logic tripping you up again 😳
how come crime reported crime levels are way higher in black areas ?
African Americans have a higher rate of poverty than whites in every single US state. 2016 figures show that, in the United States, African Americans have a poverty rate of 22 percent, while the equivalent poverty rate for whites is 8.8 percent.
And yet during the Great Depression and Great Recession...white kills never skyrocketed. More leftist excuses. Everyone in America knows it's cultural.
Of course, you're a racist.. The PROOF is in the heading of THIS post.
There is nothing in the heading to indicate racism.
Notice that the term for race (Black) was NOT used until the spot where the statistics divide it up with those terms. Both the question and title use the term African American, which denotes culture, not race.
All three of us know that culture is real, that it affects behavior,
and that the crime statistics clearly demonstrate that the level of violent crime among African Americans, primarily in low income inner city communities is higher by much more than any reasonable margin of error.
This brings up a pretty important question, and there is nothing to indicate that it is racist to ask why the rate of violent crime is so much higher among this group.
- - - It is much higher than any other American ethnic group in similar economic circumstances. This makes the argument about economic causes difficult to support as a sole cause.
- - - It is much higher than the rate of African Americans in middle-class suburbs. This makes the argument about cultural disadvantage by being descended from slaves, oppressed, etc. difficult to support as a sole cause.
It also makes the gene pool argument harder to support as a sole cause.
- - - It is much higher than in African immigrant communities. This again makes the gene pool argument harder to support as a sole cause.
The implication you're making, is that there's something WRONG with black people.
I think we can all agree that there is something wrong with ALL violent people, regardless of race.
The question remains, why do different populations in the US have such striking disparities in what percentage of each population is comprised of these violent individuals?
It is more dangerous to live in certain neighborhoods in Chicago or Baltimore than it is to live in a war zone in Afghanistan.
Why do YOU think that is? It obviously has SOMETHING to do with the people who live there.
The 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by Muslim men. Osama Ben Laden even took credit for the attacks and began moving into hiding. It's no coincidence that post 9/11, Islamic attacks on the West, which were almost non existent pre 9/11, manifested everywhere and often.
Or we can go with your mindless "progressive" logic. You, a white male, obviously took down the Twin Towers, have white privilege, are an imperialist, are a racist, are a bigot, and it's programmed into your skin type.
Islamic attacks on the West, which were almost non existent pre 9/11
Bullshit. You're a liar. It was precisely bin Laden's previous attacks against western targets which made him the perfect scapegoat for 9/11 in the first place. In 1993, bin Laden sent a man called Ramzi Yousef (i.e. "The Blind Sheikh") to blow up one of the WTC buildings using a bomb.
1, 2, or 5 pre 9/11 Islamic attack does not equal thousands of Islamic attacks post 9/11. When I was a younger man, you rarely heard about it. Post 9/11? It's a common occurence. False equivalencies aren't your friend. Oh wait. They are your friend.
In 1993, bin Laden sent a man called Ramzi Yousef (i.e. "The Blind Sheikh") to blow up one of the WTC buildings using a bomb.
This pretty much destroyed your World Trade Center attacks aren't by Muslims bullshit. Hell I don't even have to come up with anything to destroy your arguments. You'll do it yourself.
It was precisely bin Laden's previous attacks against western targets which made him the perfect scapegoat for 9/11 in the first place
I love it. Ben Laden was a liar when he took credit for 9/11, but a truth teller concerning 1993.
Hitler was a liar when he said he was a Socialist, but a truth teller when he said he was a Catholic. You may be the worst debator I've ever seen, right there behind Quantumhead...
Consistency isn't your talent is it? Oh wait, but you do have a pseudo talent for consistency. Remember when you debated me as Quantumhead saying that 9/11 was an inside job? Yeah, me neither...
And even stranger still, Quantumhead claimed to be from the same place as you. That. Is. Weird.
How'd that happen? It must be some bizarre coincidence, you honest debator you.
The point? You're the biggest liar on here. Would you like a trophy? Perhaps a ribbon? Or how about a big ol... STFU.
Because African Americans are more likely to be in poverty, and as a consequence of that they're more likely to be raised surrounded by this culture of crime.
It's not genetic, it's social. Minorities are more likely to be involved with crime because they're more excluded from mainstream culture both economically and culturally.
No race is more violent than others, what i will say is that black people are more hot-headed and will immediately lash out at any and everyone. Whereas, white people are more calculated and will bottle their rage until they are able to unleash it on the masses; hence all of these mass shootings. Black people lack the ability to face their rage outwards and often target their own demographic, instead of the people they constantly complain about (rich people, white people, government). whereas white people will joyfully kill any and everybody with determination and forethought. Violence has nothing to do with intelligence, you don't have to be intelligent to blow someones brains out. Instead, self-restraint, forethought, and temperance can largely determine a persons' ability to function as a human being.
Most of the Americans I know who come from Africa are actually very polite, intelligent, and happy to be living in a country as free and prosperous as The United States.
1)Black people tend to inherit nothing but dust and live in giant socioeconomic shitholes known as ghettos.
2)Black people are often poor, being poor makes you stupid, because being poor usually means inadequate nutrition and a shitty environment full of shitty people, being stupid from your shitty environment and nutrition tends to make you more violent, because the more stupid you are the more likely you are to needlessly commit acts the violence, and the more poor you are the more likely you are to need to commit violence at some point in your life to sustain your own black ass.
3)Black people often have higher testosterone levels which make them more violent.
4) Black people have lower IQ's than white people on average, both for genetic reasons and environmental reasons, but not all populations of blacks are so stupid, I am not making any form of racist statement here, there are populations and individuals within every race that have various placements on the intelligence spectrum. But blacks who have that unique combination of a horrible environment and those border line retard genetics which are present in certain african and african-american gene pools are among the stupidest people on earth.
5)Black people don't like to be called names. That's what my black Karate instructor told me after he hit me with a bokken for calling him a nigger when I was a 12 year old green belt.
