Don't be obtuse. You know it all started during the Trayvon Martin national media firestorm. It was a way of pointing out the double standard that goes on where the reverse in crime got little to no coverage.

I never started one of those threads BTW, but knew the point being made and IMO, you did to.

But as was brought up in this thread already and all but ignored - the much greater tragedy happening EVERYDAY is the killing of young black men by other young black men - probably at a rate of at least 50 to 1 compared to differing races killing each other.

Why isn't there a national outcry for the killings that are going on EVERY DAY of blacks by blacks. The numbers alone should make it a top story - but silence.

Why? Doesn't sell?

I don't disagree. The bigger issue I have with this forum however is the amount of shameless racism. I just thought that if I started pointing it out, people would realize it and stop.

Fit - if you don't disagree with me, why do you think it's that way? Too many people/businesses ignoring it because it's how they make their money?

Pharaoh got the hell out of that culture and he knows that you have to want to get out of it before it'll ever happen.

I grew up in rural Appalachia, it's a huge pocket of white poverty and have witnessed those that really don't want to do what's necessary to get out of poverty. With that being said, the biggest difference between there and urban poverty centers is the crime rate. A lot of the same government program abuses minus the crime against one another.

Interestingly enough, in poor rural Appalachia, when everyone is poor, nobody feels near as envious of those with money - I think because very few have much wealth.

I agree with Nomad. It's a matter of population. Larger concentrations of poor people in the inner city equals more crime.

I can roll with that.

"Poor" does not necessarily translate to more crime, but I'd submit that poor+poorly educated+fatherless+subjected to the "victimization" culture espoused by the race-peddlers is a can't-miss recipe for higher crime rates.

It may be a simple as that, however you don't see much, if any, violent crime, a few domestic violence crimes here and there.

I've often wondered if the fact that people in smaller places tend to know one another better contributes to the lower crime. That, and the fact that in smaller places it's much tougher to blend in and become invisible.

I know, as a kid, it was tough to get away with much because everyone knew who you were. If they caught you doing something - they'd call your parents. Hell, I remember a Halloween pranking spree several buddies and I did when I was about 12 - I couldn't believe my mom already knew about it WHEN I GOT HOME. The phone calls had already been made while we were doing it - we didn't even get away with it for 3 hours. Got my a$$ beat for that one.

MSNBC: “The Young Black Man Is Becoming An Endangered Species”

New events have brought to light that what MSNBC was really referring to was the horrific abortion rate amongst African American females in New York City.

Excellent post and funny story.

Maybe that is what is missing in a lot of neighborhoods in inner cities. Adults talking to each other and looking out for each others children.

Oh oh.....that sounded very Mellisa Lacewell Perrish

The poor of any race are more likely to commit crime.

With the amount of drugs going through Appalachia, if the population was big enough that the people lived right on top of each other and rival dealers existed, there would be a LOT of violent crime.

Yeah because as long as it is on a network that you dislike, you can dismiss it.

It's easier to stick your head in the dirt.

Actually, 10 years ago, I loved MSNBC so much that I actually created a way to watch the feeds on my phone. Today, MSNBC is something I don't even recognize. They are obsessed with race and if you don't agree with them, then they call you a racist. That's just ethically and morally wrong and I cannot support a network that would do that.

As to sticking my head in the dirt...never done it. Are you racist? I am black, you know. Are you making a racist comment because the dirt is brown? I think I may be offended. APOLOGIZE NOW!!!

wow....10 years ago you could stream media on your phone and just now realize that media=op ed? ummkay....

you must be smokin' the reef, no? no one said anything about media.

so....that means what? I lack intelligence b/c I smoke?

or, does it mean that you are clueless that msnbc=media

I would really like to know how you tapped that into your phone ya phony...10 yrs ago....fkn really.....it's a spin board.....will give you that one

Sorry.

I was being facetious. I have thicker skin than that (and that has nothing to do with race). If you really offend me, I'll send you a PM. But, at least you believe in that apologizing for offending stuff you speak of. But, as you can see, it is just silly. I just shut down your ability to have a reasoned conservation with me by just invoking race and offense. This is issue that conservatives have with all of this race baiting. Every time someone want to have an honest conversation about something, people on the left are quick to invoke race and offense. We, as an American people, cannot have a conversation about tough issues as long as that happens.

I got the joke and understand your point. The problem however is that the person who said that Thug is the new N word wasn't being political. He was being honest and for that reason, he should be taken seriously.

There you go again, co-opting the use of the word thug which has historically been associated with union organizers. And the irony is that union members are the most racist (as well as homophobic and misogynistic) people around.

As long as we honks are around, your bolded segment will be false.

Damn. Seriously Fit, you're the second most overt racist on this board, and like the guy who's in first place you see it everywhere except when you look in the mirror.

How am I racist? I'm not the one constantly making racist comments, posting racist news reports, or anything of the sort.

On the contrary, I'm the one trying to keep people from being racist in here.

Even though it's not there, you find something racist about every post on this forum. Like it or not, you're more racist than anyone else on here. Trying too hard to prove that you aren't is a tell-tale sign that you are.
