I wouldn’t go that far back....what we deal with here in the US is the past history of slavery....which they cannot let go of and continue to this day to wine about. It’s taught to their children and made to be a part of their overall mindset....rather than show the culture what they can do today in a free country.
No, I was pointing to the West African society and culture that existed just prior to the slave trade's mushrooming in the 1700's and 1800's. I was saying that that was where the black slaves got their basic thought processes and culture.
That is what underlies the things you are talking about.
FWIW, yes, you're right that Das Kulturschmog (as American Spectator editor Emmett Tyrell used to call it) keeps pushing black Americans' noses in it. (Hmmm, how about Brazilian noses? We don't hear about slavery tub-thumping down there.)
But there is more to black folkways than that. Notice what one policeman said about "differential impact", that black and white drivers are noticeably different in their driving habits and other things. Black drivers wear their seatbelts less and are more accident- and violation-prone because of the way they drive, not because raaa-ciss white cops are lurking everywhere for a child of Ethiopia to drive by.
There is a qualitative difference in what blacks think and do, and it affects outcomes. That's what I'm pointing to. The liberal nag-Media would have blacks believe that it's all a big scam to penalize and rip off blacks qua black because black.
Disparate impact is a scam and a sham, but it is what liberal and Reds use to convince black voters that the giant anti-Negro conspiracy is the real reason for their variant experience with LE, both in attracting (traffic, firearms-carry, liquor consumption, whatever) police attention and in outcomes (jail, fines). But if persecution theories are the seed, that older, underlying African cultural value set is the dirt that it was sown in. That was my point, to wonder about influences from long ago.
