Well, so far you and another poster have found amazing arabesques of logic like black people doing drugs in cars and white people magically absorbing drugs without ever "possessing" them to explain away one of the justice inequities.
Black people doing drugs in their cars? I never said anything like that; haven't you been listening? I said if you get arrested for a crime, and you have drugs on your person or in your car, you get a drug charge tacked on as well!
So I guess that with enough magic I can't explain anything to you! You will just hypothesize (or rely on "James" the guy in the Channel4 piece) to explain crime to you.
You don't need magic, just listen to what I actually say, and respond to that instead of makin’ stuff up.
If you honestly think black people are more crime prone than white people then what do you think can be done about it? Is it in their nature to be criminal? What is your opinion since it seems to be so important to you that this point is clear.
I remember a white guy who was struggling financially said to me that if you are white and poor, everybody blames you nobody makes excuses, but if you are black and poor, you can blame racism, the (white) man, and everybody allows all kinds of excuses for your failure. I think one of the worse things you can do to someone is to justify their failure because when you do that it makes failure easier to deal with, and they have less of a desire to fight for change.
I remember around 20 years ago, Schools in Oakland noticed black students were not reading as well so they introduced “ebonics” basically using slang terms in school rather than learning standard english. This puts them at a disadvantage when they get out of school and apply for a job. I see this as a cultural problem; another cultural problem is when blacks who get good grades, and speak standard english are often accused of trying to talk or act white.
No snitchin’ was a culture that allowed criminals to commit crimes knowing nobody is going to say anything to the Police. When a black man is shot by a white cop, the black community will come out in full force to protest claiming black lives matter, but when we kill each other, they say “stop snitching” even though far more die at the hands of other blacks than at the hands of the police. Yeah there are some in the community that are fighting to stop black on black crime, but when you compare it to the number of people fighting to stop police brutality, it seems like 95% of the effort is being used to combat 5% of the problem, and 5% of the effort is used to combat 95% of the problem.
Black lives matter is probably the most influential movement especially among black youth today. But if you look at their 13 guiding principles, they make it very clear that one of their goals is to disrupt the black nuclear family. They see this idea of a black man marrying a black woman and having children as acting western (white).
What We Believe - Black Lives Matter
(notice there are 2 principles where women are the focus, and 3 principles where LGBQ are the focus; but the only principle that focus on men are when a man identifies as a woman AKA trans women)
There are studies that show children do better in a 2 parent household rather than single parent (black household are already 75% single mother) I believe BLM’s desire to disrupt the black nuclear family is a disservice to black people; this along with the other examples I mentioned are cultural problems that need to change. This is something that cannot be fixed by the government, it cannot be fixed by well meaning white liberals, this is not something that can be fixed by politicians looking for votes and power, this is something that needs to be fixed by black people; they need to see it as a problem and be willing to fight to change it.
