" ... breaking the taboo on talking about the connection between race and crime. "

Why are we as a society so stupid? There is no connection between RACE and crime, there's a connection between CULTURE and crime! A black child raised in the same setting as a white child has no more propensity toward violence than the white child. (Allowing for individual variances of course. Some kids are more aggressive than others regardless of race).

Thank you for drawing everyone's attention to that. We have a tendency on this site as in the broader society of equating "black" with "poor, inner-city, culturally bankrupt, criminal." Yet there are millions upon millions of middle-class black people who are raising their children right and don't live in the ghetto. Criminality has nothing to do with color. It has everything to do with culture. And inner-city white kids in Britain raised in conditions of depravity have the same tendency to criminal behavior as black kids here.

"There is no connection between RACE and crime"

BS!

The connection is very clear.

Blacks committ a very highly disproportionate number of crimes in all categories. In some cities they committ about 90% of the crimes even though they are a minority.

Possibly, but that is not how the race pimps and liberals see it. So one can hardly be faulted for using their terms.

Perhaps, but I don't see any leaders from the Black community admitting that it is their culture that is responsible for the Black-on-Black crime. Nor do I see Jesse, Al, or any of their cronies doing anything to place the blame where it belongs. The only exception to this is Bill Cosby, and because of his honesty about it, the Black culture has apparently disowned him. Sadly, most Black leaders' solution to their problems is to throw more (of yours and my) money at the problem, a tactic that hasn't worked once in the past 50 years.

Outstanding post!
