>>but no race has clean hands when it comes to crime and brutality

As I’ve already noted, this is a cultural issue, not a racial one, from my perspective. You seem to be taking the racist position. I reject that, and demand rational discourse about a cultural problem that adversely affects blacks more than it does whites, since the majority of black crime is black-on-black.

Your assertion that I am trying to “cover a whole race” is bogus.

Gosh, I am out of the loop. Did midnight basketball not fix all this??

It has. Aren't you aware of lagging indicators? /s

Only 23% are confined and unable to make babies for the next generation of drop-outs.

My opinion is that the root of the problem is related to socioeconomic pressures and high population density. From that specific set of circumstances, a street culture has formed.

My objection is when people make it more about race than about the real root causes.

IMO, he is wasting a precious opportunity to leave an amazing legacy. Forget healthcare. Inspire this culture to reach and surpass levels of unprecedented accomplishments. For that he would be admired by all.

High population density? Of course, that explains all the street crime in Hong Kong, Seoul, and Tokyo......

I don’t mean to be nosy-but I’m honestly interested to know:

Where are you from originally, geographically, and where have you lived?

I’m not asking this to be a jerk, or to make fun of you-you’re obviously a fairly intelligent person, all in all—I’m just curious.

[mysterio]

How is my geographic history relevant to a discussion about street crime statistics?

[Mac from Cleveland]

As I said, I’m just curious—you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.

[mysterio]

Midwest, as my homepage flag indicates. Have traveled some, but have only lived in my state.

[Mac from Cleveland]

I had to go check—Indiana—nice state.

Indianapolis?

[mysterio]

Not a bad city. Have spent a lot of time there.

I couldn’t agree with you more...that’s what makes the situation so tragic and wasted.
