Of course blacks are not responsible for what they do

What do they attribute the violence in countries that are majority black and are run by blacks?

________

The legacy of colonialism, exploitation, and slave taking.

Any disparity unfavorable to blacks is evidence of structural racism. If you demonstrate a disparity, you have proven structural racism.

Thus sayeth Kendi.

It’s got nothing to do with racism.

People make thieir own choices and can’t blame anyone else when they grab a gun and start shooting.

Do you think the media is either a) pushing the agenda that blacks are more likely to kill than others with no statistical support, or b) there is statistical support for this and the media is actually reporting facts?

We capitulate and let the left control the narrative far too often.

We acceot their accusations and cave because we think by appeasing them they’ll think we are nice but the left won’t. Nothing but total subservience to the leftist narrative is good enough for them.

The right cares too much what the left thinks about us.

It’s time to tell them that it’s too bad if they don’t like what we think or how we live and tell them to go pound sand.

Blacks (and whites and Hispanics) do not kill people.
Sinful, angry, jealous, greedy people kill people.

Mass shootings in major metropolitan areas in the United States disproportionately affect Black people, and structural racism may play a role, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal JAMA Surgery.

The greatest weasel word in the English language. I can think of a dozen alternative explanations that may be more likely.

It's like people WANT blacks to act that way to keep them in a paying job.

Oh, wait. Never mind

Oh no, you do not understand the powerful explanatory insights offered by the theory of “structural racism.” Black people shooting other black people is all due to “structural racism” in the form of racist white people avoiding the risk of getting shot by black people.

To an extent that's true....however, I would add that certain cultures do push some "values" that others don't. We see a lot of anger and revenge in black culture. I often hear of fights starting because someone "disrespected" me in black culture.

I see many factors at play.
One is letting history repeat itself and slavery/ discrimination reappear. Some in the culture see passivity, acceptance of reality as acceptance of slavery. In reality none of us is 100% free...we all are obligated (or feel we are obligated.

A much bigger factor is lack of a good male role model. When many responsible males are lacking from a child’s experience the child often ages without growing up.

I was expousing libertarian rhetoric to a mixed crowd of community activists....all fighting against urban renewal.
A couple middle aged, employed Black men asked in unison:
“But who will take care of us?”

There are other factors. It is complex. Not all have the same experience or culture or path of decision making.
