Your head and the point are far separated.
oh I get the point behind the thread...I'm just not worried about such things at this point in life, when it's not effecting and don't think it will be effecting my life anytime soon.
Y'all worry too much about people different than you.
I guess I misinterpreted your post... My bad, man...

And this is my issue with the left. If just one person is "offended", something is now off-limits to everyone -- regardless of whether the offense is reasonable or rational. Anytime someone wants to speak on the issues and they are getting the better of the conversation (or not), they invoke race, homophobia, war on women. How can you possible have a discourse with someone that constantly does that?
In this forum, many of the threads that are started are crimes committed by minorities against whites. How else are we supposed to interpret that?
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?
Because it doesn't advance the liberal narrative. They need blacks to vote for them and the last thing they want is for people to focus on the liberal policies of cities with large black populations run by Dems. That would probably create voting apathy or worse, maybe they'll listen to the other side. It's better to focus on the small instances of white on black shootings (notice I didn't say crime because it doesn't have to be). If they do that, they can send in Revs. Al and Jesse to work the national media. Then, they send in the Party operatives and work with the community organizers to get the neighborhoods riled up. Then they put that scene on tv with commentary from their liberal media friends. They'll pick some boogeyman conservative supported policy (eg. stand your ground in FL) and talk about how racist it is and how racist conservatives are to support it. All this even though the facts about Stand your ground being used at a greater rate (by population) by blacks or the fact that the "white man" in question never used it as defense are never disclosed to the public.
After doing this, they can support their narrative about conservatives being racist to the 1/3 of people in the middle that don't pay attention, never research, and believe what the tv says. This narrative makes it harder for conservatives to even utter their opinions because people are turned off by the false narrative.
Losing this advantage would be bad. So, they do nothing to address black on black crime because it does nothing to advance their political narrative and could possible hurt them.

Good Lord, that seems to happen a lot over there... I almost forgot about trolls... Besides occasional trolling by some on here, other sites have people that do nothing BUT troll...

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.

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

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.

The biggest difference is density, which contributes to the crime rate.

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.
