FerFal’s report is alarming and yes it is true.
We have a lot of missing kids here, that disappear.
Denver looses some, but I will say this, if the dispatcher says
“child missing”, the Denver Police come alive and they HUNT for it.
I figure, they know what the end result will be if they don’t find it.
I have heard other police departments, who, kinda shrug their shoulders and make a note of the missing child.
I will check out the cinnamon, when I can.
Here’s another post from FerFAL:

Reply: Racism, religion and preconceived notions that could undermine your awareness and security.

I didn’t want to get sidetracked here, having only wanted to get FerFal’s opinion on the topic, but I contemplated on the matter and decided I should respond.
It never ceases to amaze me how, in discussions on ethnicity and race, the name callers and self-hating whites come out of the woodwork. The so-called “assumptions” about how crime correlates to race are hardly controversial to anyone who pays them mind and removes the PC-blinders. I mean that in the truest sense of the word; the link is as uncontroversial as the sun rising every morning. Ceteris paribus, race tracks with crime rates, in the United States and everywhere else. Do yourself a favor and look into which countries have the highest violent crime and murder rates. They are disproportionately located in South America and Africa. Don’t make the mistake of assuming these facts mandate a deterministic viewpoint. Race and ethnicity are hardly the sole determinant factors. However, there is a stone-cold connection on the macro-level that all the well-wishing in the world will not take away. With this consideration in mind, it’s also why I wanted to ask FerFal why a majority European-descended country would devolve into essentially third-world violence, and also how he thinks a more multicultural society (like the United States) would fare in Argentina-like circumstances
One other thing. Most criminals are white in the USA, yes, it’s true. Do you now why this is? It’s because it’s a majority white country! This should hardly be surprising. The entire point of discussing the higher murder rates among different groups is to show that, if they were comprising equal segments of the population, that would no longer be so. In other words, for example, there are many more murders amongst a group of 10,000 Hispanics than amongst 10,000 Asians. Concerning the rather selective example of the Aryan Brotherhood (kind of a predictable response in discussions like these, but whatever); assuming your statement is accurate, it’s hardly a condemnation of, y’know... white, non-criminal, non-murdering, non-gang members. In other words, 99.9% of the white population. It tells you absolutely nothing about the normal white person’s propensity to violence which is, as I stated earlier, lower than any other group’s (excluding Asians).

Chad actually makes a cogent argument. All the PC, racially equivalent apologists out there usually resort to name calling and pulling out arcane facts like the AB is the most violent criminals in prison.
I saw a picture of Fuerte Apache in Buenos Aires which as Ferfal can tell you is a a war zone. In fact in comments linked to a google map which displays Fuerte Apache somone wrote “drop 10 kiloton nuke here”. And guess which ethnicity was prevalent in Fuerte Apache? If you guessed negro you win.
Now all of you apologist can continue your little delusions, but IF there is social strife amongst the population, the other races who aren’t so constrained by foolish notions are gonna have alot of fun with you.
Plenty of street gangs are ethnically organized and armed to the teeth. When the authorities move out, they’ll move in (as if they weren’t running things already).

As you say before, most people here are white. There’s no African black people here, at least not in any significant numbers. There’s some people with darker skin due to the mixing with natives when the conquistadors came here, but overall it’s white people from Spain, Italy, and a small number of Russian, German, and very small number of Arabs.
There’s also a growing Bolivian and Paraguayan community (more of native ethnic, a bit short, brown skin), Unfortunately thought many of them come here and work very hard, there’s many of them that take part in criminal activities.
Many women from these bordering countries are also promised great job opportunities in Argentina, only to find out that they end up trapped in prostitution networks as modern slaves. But 90% give or take and without splitting hair into race purity or whatever, sure, people here are white.
About 80% of the country is Catholic as well.
It’s clear though, there’s a growing number of so called evangelical churches, with self proclaimed pastors.
They are very common among the poorest population, and unfortunately many times all they are after is what little money they have. Many of these have embraced criminals and drug dealers into their pseudo churches, since more traditional institutions like the Catholic church or the Jewish community have much stricter moral codes.
These evangelical pastors say all you have to do after robbing, murdering, raping or committing just any atrocity, is to ask God for forgiveness, and God will always forgive. Confessing evil deeds to another person is a bit more uncomfortable to them, it would seem, so these churches are rather convenient.
This is why hands down the most popular religion in prison is some form of evangelical Christianity.
The few real black people we see here are either American tourists, African street merchants ( they mostly sell low quality gold Jewelry) or maybe someone from Brazil. My son is 6 years old and last week was the first time he saw a real black person. We where both waiting in line and I started talking with the guy. Turns out he lived here most of his life, parents came from Africa. He was as much Argentine as I am. The way he talked, dressed. We talked about football a bit, very normal guy, more polite than average person I run across.
I believe the kind of problems you guys have up there aren’t really racial, but cultural ( intentionally created by a political agenda). The subliminal indoctrination, making it seem ok for black people to hate white, reparations for slavery, and other political mechanisms to divide society and make people hate one another, also creating poor, marginal sectors of society. The more poor, uneducated and stupid people get, the easier they are to control. It also creates cheap labor and uneducated voters.
Politicians and the people in power use this things to their advantage.
Anyone thinking black people are all the same around the world should compare the getto culture glorified by Hollywood and government alike, to the hard working black people I saw working in the fields of Spain.
No, not slaves. These guys risked their lives across the Mediterranean to get there and enjoy the privilege of having a job in a civilized country. They were damn proud about it and they should be.
They were the kindest most educated people I saw during the month I spent there.
You mention Fuerte Apache somewhere, and while it is one of the most dangerous places a person can walk into anywhere in the world, it’s not because of black people. There’s no black people in Fuerte Apache, they are white.
I think a real black person would be dead in Fuerte Apache rather soon. So would a German, an American, a Chinese, a Jew or a white person that doesn’t look poor.
Why?, because that’s not how the political machinery works in Argentina.
We are not divided by color (though skin color and religion are all good excuses for the kind of hatred and violence often seen). But no, out government (particularly our president and his right hand, Mr. Luis Delia) made sure this country is divided into “rich” and “poor”. The poor are referred to as “Negro”, but a “Negro” in Argentina may as well be a white skinned, blue eyed blonde of Italian heritage. “Negro” is the word describe those of darker skin, but more than that the bum and lazy, but also the poor, the uneducated.
Mr Luis Delia openly shouts on radio that the “negros” should start killing “whites”, and “the rich”. You see, it’s all hatred, and through hatred they control the stupid mass.
The poor guy that has no job and had little education and comes from a history of domestic violence, the kid that has lived a life of crime, the drug addict, they all fit into this “Negro” box, and this guy, that is the president’s right hand, is telling them it’s ok to kill the “white” the “rich”… of course the mass is too stupid to notice that Mr. Nestor Kirchner is rich beyond their wildest dreams… and he also happens to be a blue eyed white of German ancestry. The mass is stupid, and will blame and hate whomever they are told to blame for their calamities.
In Argentina it’s the “rich”.
But since the real “rich” are far beyond the reach of the mass, since they live in very exclusive places or don’t even live most of the year in the country, who’s the “Negro” going after? The middle class. The hard worker that forged a better future for himself and his family.
The middle class Mr. Kirchner promised would “get on their knees”. So far he’s succeeded. The Argentine middle class is nearly destroyed, and the social hatred is evident. The bad guys, many of which consider themselves “Negro” , will not only rob, they’ll murder and rape because the hatred is well fueled. And after all, it’s also government approved.
About racism, real racism, all I can say is that I don’t think it’s a smart choice in terms of awareness.
I’m not going to get into my personal opinion on racism, (frankly I don’t like it or approve it), but worse than that, it creates preconceived notions that I find go against the practical way in which I view things.
I distrust anyone equally, of any skin color and religion, until proven they are worthy of trust. I’m color blind when it comes to detecting threats.
If you think that white people are less dangerous than blacks, you’d be surprised by the number of pretty 15 year old white girls that commit crimes on regular basis, often more cruel than males.
Not long ago a cop got stabbed and was seriously wounded by a 14 year old girl.
He got too close and his gun did him no good, he never even managed to bring it out of the holster. His armor vest probably saved his life. I’m sure he’s not going to underestimate young white girls ever again.
