The elminiation of African Americans from America, though considered an absolute biggotism by everyone AS IT SHOULD BE, would directly make the US a safer place in that you are eliminating a source of crime. NOT THE SOURCE OF CRIME, but sure, A source of Crime. Crime is not centered about a single race, the race in question being African-Americans, but to basically Humanity. Yes, it is true that the elimination of African-Americans would make America a safer place, but not nerely as much so as the elimintaion white people from the United States, particularly in the Southern half. but thats a different argument entirely, no?

Most people do know that black people commit more crime per head of population, but that's not exactly what you asked. Crime is obviously linked to socio-economic status and if you just 'removed' every african american from the US, other ethnic groups would fill their low socio-economic standing and crime would very quickly rise within those groups.

Using the UK as an example, the further north you go the smaller the black community is. In Scotland there are much fewer black people but far higher crime and violence rates than anywhere else in the developed world. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article568214.ece

How do you know that the lower societal status is not due to crime? The white people of the Appalachian mountains are about as low on the socio-economic scale as you can get in the U.S. and they have nowhere near the crime rate. Your theory doesn't explain the black-on-white rape epidemic either. In fact, it sounds like a bullshit excuse.

You're looking at non-lethal violent crime. I was talking about lethal violent crime (I should have specified this) where blacks come in at 36.5% vs. 32.8% for whites. This accounted with the fact that blacks only make up about 13% of the U.S. population doesn't paint a very nice picture.

Besides, when you breakdown non-lethal violent crime you see that blacks commit more robbery (56.7% vs 41.7%) whereas in rape and aggravated assault they only commit about a third of reported crime, though this is still shockingly high considering the size of the black demographic.

Side: Yes, it would.

You seem like you are smart enough to interpret statistics better than that. There are far more whites than blacks in America. Blacks are only 13% of the U.S. population. Go back and read those statistics with that in mind and you'll see that blacks are responsible for a largely disproportionate amount of crime.

Side: Yes, it would.

Yes, it would, but only in the technical sense that if you eliminated ANY particular race from America it would be safer, because naturally, people of every race commit crime. I think what you're trying to bait in this question is to what magnitude would America be a safer place? I don't think we can accurately guess that, but statistics show that African-Americans are convicted more per capita than any other race for crime in the US. This is more correlated to socioeconomics than it is to some innate "problem" with African-Americans. But if we're going to be honest and offensive here, there is a cultural of ignorance and anti-intellectualism that unfortunately exists in African-American communities in the US that contributes to this problem as well.

Now, this may be radical but hear me out on this. Don't you really think that if we wouldn't have had slaves in the first place, or at least after the Civil War, sent all the African Americans taken as slaves back to where they came from, we could have avoided many of the race tensions and violence experienced throughout American history. Look at today, African American's don't cause violence, unemployed people do. They don't work and depend on wellfare to buy and sell dope. Since most of those living off wellfare are African American, it would be most beneficial if they were not here. This is not because African Americans are inferior, it is because after the Civil War, we set free millions of uneducated people into society and expected them to just fall in line. That is just stupid.

Side: Yes, it would.

Why would you need to "rip the statistics apart"? White Americans outnumber African Americans by nearly an order of magnitude. It would be almost impossible for any interracial crime statistic to look different (excepting in the degree). It's like pointing out an inter-dexterous statistic that shows more left-handed people commit crimes against right-handed people than right-handed people commit crimes against left-handed people. Up to 90% of the world is right-handed. But, in terms of the raw data, interracial rapes do not account for the majority of rapes. So, white women in general (accounting for the highest number of victims) are more likely to be raped by someone who is White (a family member or friend) than by someone who is Black.

Side: No, it wouldn't.

Here is a short excerpt from the link. Why was black-on-white rape such a rarity in the 50's, but for some reason explodes in the 70's?

The contrasts are even more stark in the case of interracial rape. Studies from the late 1950s showed that the vast majority of rapes were same-race offenses. Research in Philadelphia carried out in 1958 and 1960 indicated that of all rapes, only 3.2 percent were black-on-white assaults and 3.6 percent were white-on-black. Since that time, the proportion of black-on-white rapes has soared. In a 1974 study in Denver, 40 percent of all rapes were of whites by blacks, and not one case of white-on-black rape was found. In general, through the 1970s, black-on-white rape was at least ten times more common that white-on-black rape. [319]

Because interracial rape is now overwhelmingly black on white, it has become difficult to do research on it or to find relevant statistics. The FBI keeps very detailed national records on crime, but the way it presents rape data obscures the racial element rather than clarifies it. Dr. William Wilbanks, a criminologist at Florida International University, had to sift carefully through the data to find that in 1988 there were 9,406 cases of black-on-white rape and fewer than ten cases of white-on-black rape. [320] Another researcher concludes that in 1989, blacks were three or four times more likely to commit rape than whites, and that black men raped white women thirty times as often as white men raped black women. [321]

What about every other group, are we just going to kick out every race based on some perceived behaviors of an entire group? Where would we be without Martin Luther King, or Rosa Parks? To say that a country would be better without a whole entire race is just what Hitler was doing, except he just killed every race besides the one he deemed pure. I am still honestly surprised that even in this day and age there is so much racism going on. Should we kick out all of the Asian's to because it mean's our road's would be safer? How about all those Mexican's who take away all of the job's we don't even want to do. Or better yet why don't we just send all of the Mob affiliated Italian's back to Italy?

Criminality in the Black population is a symptom of a preexisting and deeper rooted societal problem. And that problem won't disappear by discounting one of the symptoms. To borrow from Malcolm X's criticism of the larger society: I knew I wouldn't be back to see my mother again because it could make me a very vicious and dangerous person-knowing how they had looked at us as numbers and as a case in their book, not as human beings. And knowing that my mother in there was a statistic that didn't have to be, that existed because of a society's failure, hypocrisy, greed, and lack of mercy and compassion. Hence I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.

Actually you are one of the few that actually brought an argument to the table instead of acting all morally superior and calling names. That being said, I would like to pose some questions and ask you to expand on your argument.

1. Do you have any clear evidence that there are societal problems in the U.S specifically targeting blacks and pushing them toward a life of violence. I mean there are many cases of Blacks succeeding in society. Obama is an example. So many people voted for him that he became president. This doesn't seem to be a racist soceity to me.

2.I realize that the ancestors of the black were brought here by force and legally this is your country as much as ours but noone is forcing the blacks to stay here. If they feel the society here is unfair why not immigrate to africa where there cant be societal problems specifically targeting the blacks and holding them back since the whole population is black. There they can build their own civilization.

3. Why has the black ethnic group never historically developed a civilized society. Why do they have a history of tribal wars and violence. Is it still becasue of the white man who oppresses them

Side: Yes, it would.

Do you have any clear evidence that there are societal problems in the U.S specifically targeting blacks and pushing them toward a life of violence.

That's a difficult question to answer, especially in the way that it's phrased. I look at societal problems not as ones who have specific targets, but problems that effect or impact groups of people disproportionately, so as to highlight, for example, some kind of disfranchisement.

I mean there are many cases of Blacks succeeding in society.

There are many, and Black people in America are generally in a much better place than they were decades and centuries ago, but why should I or anyone else be satisfied with tokenism?

This doesn't seem to be a racist soceity to me.

The great reply of Whites throughout America's history has always been "we get along just fine with our negroes", in one shape or form. Gallup asked White Americans in 1962 if they believed that Black children had the same education opportunities that they had. 90% believed that Blacks did. In 1963, White Americans were asked "Do you think that racial minorities are treated equally in your community?" 80% answered 'yes'. 1950s, 1940s, and so on, a large (enough) part of the population of White Americans have historically believed that race has not been a social problem. And they have historically, always, been wrong.

For almost every generation, the level of racism in this country has been downplayed and outright denied. And I think that denialism is an example of one societal problem - one that continues today. 4 years ago, for example, saw the largest number of racial, housing discrimination reports in the nation's history. Not 1968, after the passing of the Fair Housing Act. Not 1950, not 1980, not even the 19th century. It was in 2006. That reflects some kind of problem that's happening in America today that's clearly not being properly addressed.

I realize that the ancestors of the black were brought here by force and legally this is your country as much as ours but noone is forcing the blacks to stay here.

I'm not African American. But, this is somewhat of a disingenuous position to hold.

Why has the black ethnic group never historically developed a civilized society.

That's just not factual: Nubia, Kemet, Mali, Ehtiopia were all, by any definition, civilized societies.

Why do they have a history of tribal wars and violence.

Every people, every country, every city has a history of - and continue to have - tribal war and violence. This isn't something unique in any way to Black populations anywhere in the world.

Is it still becasue of the white man who oppresses them.

A great many of the problems that we see in Black communities, in America and globally, are directly and indirectly consequences of historical: physical or cultural violence perpetrated against Blacks by Whites. And it's not unique to Black populations either.

It's not fair to pin America's problems on African Americans. Are you implying that white people are perfect and never commit crimes? Are we not all human? We are the EXACT same on the inside and a white person is just as likely to kill as a black person is, depending on how they're raised. Point being, such a thing can't be pinned to race as a whole. I realize it's like a joke that all black people are thugs because it really is a legit stereotype and unfortunately there are people out there who really believe that that is the case. But with the African Americans gone, I think more white people would simply take over the vacant spots of the African Americans and thus nothing would change.

There are a number of logical problems with the racism in this question.

For starters, if Africans are genetically violent people, as you attempt to imply, then why isn't every other race equally violent? I assume you missed the Human Genome Project and similar efforts to unravel our point of origin, because it is plain fact that humanity is African (as in, it was at one point all black, but due to divergence in populations gained superficial differences due to evolution).

Secondly, if Africans are the root of violence, or a major contributor towards it, then historical societies which had few if any black immigrants should have been markedly docile. For example, the Europeans through the middle ages should have had little turmoil, but did not. The Chinese dynasties should have been crime-free. There was much fighting between Native American tribes before Africans arrived.

If it isn't social and economic status which causes violence, which you argued, then poor whites, Latinos, and immigrants besides blacks should have a quantity of crime that is proportional to the middle class and the wealthy.

The most likely explanation is that blacks stand out in a society where they are a minority, and so they are more likely to catch the attention of police. A white murderer or drug lord is inconspicuous, but if he has black or brown skin he will stand out and be introduced to questioning. In other words a selection bias brought on by our evolved animal brains.

Side: No, it wouldn't.

to avedske: There are so many things wrong with your argument I don't know where to start. First of all, just because there is a theory that we evolved from Africans doesn't mean that we are all the same. For thousands of years we have had a radically different environment and culture that may have lead whites to develop and evolve differently. Evolutionists don't know anything for sure. They keep changing their theories. How do you know that all the changes over these years are superficial. Maybe there are severe changes to personality and temperament that cant be physically seen or quantified easily. How come different races of dogs are so different. I mean they are all dogs and probably had a common ancestor. Oh wait there are huge physical and mental differences between different races of dogs.

Now onto your second point. This is a quite bad argument. No-one said blacks are the sole cause of violence. I just argue that blacks are generally more violent than whites. I will use an example to make this easier to understand. Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer. If you eradicate smoking you won't eradicate lung cancer. Now why would you compare our society to the middle ages. It is completely different society with different definitions for crimes, different law enforcement capabilities, people lived differently(farms)and ultimately different people. These factors make it a wholly different environment and the comparison is worthless not to mention you don't have any actual statistics of the time.

IF you were to try to use that argument you would have to find a society today which is very similar to U.S in every way(impossible) and then have hard statistics showing that the crime-rate is similar to the of the U.S with blacks and even that wouldn't explain why blacks commit more crimes in the U.S.

I never said social economic status doesn't have any effect on crime. A poor white man may be desperate for quick cash so he steals. I am just saying that it may be the same black mentality that causes them to be both violent and poor. He decides to do illegal things and steal for immediate gratification instead of working slowly toward a better life. The ratio of poor white men to rich white men men is a lot smaller then that of poor black men to rich black men(in this case I group medium with rich). I argue that this is because of the black mentality that causes them to be violent and ultimately lazy.

Your last paragraph is kind of a joke. I mean common. You think the police randomly roams the streets and pick up dudes that stand out to take them in for questioning. The way it works usually is a crime is committed. Police analyze evidence and look for suspects that fit the evidence. The they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect is guilty. They dont look for the guy taht stands out they look for a suspect that fits a description. Not to mention that poor blacks tend to clump together into black neighborhoods where its the white man that stands out.

Side: Yes, it would.

First of all, just because there is a theory that we evolved from Africans doesn't mean that we are all the same. For thousands of years we have had a radically different environment and culture that may have lead whites to develop and evolve differently.

It implies that we share our genetic traits with a tribe in Africa from which all of humanity descends.

Any further evolution worked with our African genes. You cannot outgrow your ancestry. We are still African now, we just look different.

If you are arguing that Africans are racially (IE genetically) prone to violence then it must follow that all races have this violence, because all races descend from Africa. You cannot argue that Africans became violent after we evolved separately, because at that point the tribes of Africa moved along the continent and evolved along separate paths, meaning that any violence on the genetic level would not be spread to all Africans.

Evolutionists don't know anything for sure. They keep changing their theories.

Evolution is a fact, and I don't care to debate it here. If you're entering a serious debate about genetics, then you must accept biology. It does no good to enter a discussion on astronomy while questioning the premise that the Earth is not the centre of the universe.

How do you know that all the changes over these years are superficial. Maybe there are severe changes to personality and temperament that cant be physically seen or quantified easily.

We left Africa some 70000 years ago. The environment, while different, was not fundamentally different in the sense that it required more intelligence, or more docility. It was a wild land, like Africa, but with new plants and animal life. When you wish to evolve severely different traits, you want to provide an environment that values the trait you're seeking.

How come different races of dogs are so different. I mean they are all dogs and probably had a common ancestor. Oh wait there are huge physical and mental differences between different races of dogs.

Excellent example. With dogs we specifically provided an environment that favoured aggression, or hunting, or playfulness, etc. If we merely took the dogs and moved them to different parts of the world, they may have different hair styles and body shapes, but the personalities would be very similar because they all had the same lack of personality selection.

Now onto your second point. This is a quite bad argument. No-one said blacks are the sole cause of violence. I just argue that blacks are generally more violent than whites. I will use an example to make this easier to understand. Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer. If you eradicate smoking you won't eradicate lung cancer.

If your argument isn't that blacks are the only aggressive ones, but whites are too, then what is your argument exactly? If you're going to argue that blacks should be removed because they are prone to violence, and whites are violent too, then it follows that whites must be removed as well. Otherwise you're just picking an arbitrary threshold to complain.

Now why would you compare our society to the middle ages. It is completely different society with different definitions for crimes, different law enforcement capabilities, people lived differently(farms)and ultimately different people. These factors make it a wholly different environment and the comparison is worthless not to mention you don't have any actual statistics of the time.

Different social environment produces different levels of violence.

IF you were to try to use that argument you would have to find a society today which is very similar to U.S in every way(impossible) and then have hard statistics showing that the crime-rate is similar to the of the U.S with blacks and even that wouldn't explain why blacks commit more crimes in the U.S.

I already offered an explanation: selection bias.

Why are black moths picked on by predators more in forests with white trees?

Any traits you try to argue are racial, must be inherited onto whites and every other race. Are blacks lazy? Then whites are too. This is because we evolved out of Africa.

Your last paragraph is kind of a joke. I mean common. You think the police randomly roams the streets and pick up dudes that stand out to take them in for questioning. The way it works usually is a crime is committed. Police analyze evidence and look for suspects that fit the evidence. The they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect is guilty. They dont look for the guy taht stands out they look for a suspect that fits a description. Not to mention that poor blacks tend to clump together into black neighborhoods where its the white man that stands out.

There is a subconscious mechanism in animal minds that causes them to pick out that which is different. We are often unaware of it. This is why police will associate a person who is physically different with a greater propensity for crime.
