Crime Statistics prove the Poster correct

Demographics only tell one story at a time. High crime areas may show high-concentrations of black people, but it's beyond ridiculous to extrapolate from there that any black population is high-crime.

Hint: it's called the "black urban poverty" and, to the contrary, as much as the SJWs hate to say it, the "black middle class."

We'd all do better to distinguish by culture than by skin color.

There has always been a segment of every color looking to start violence. Before it was relegated to the fringe; the media and academia are making it front and center.

Wrong. It’s BLM, Antifa, and their Fascist allies in the Democrat Party that are making violence front and center, while the media and academia attempt to convince us not to believe our lying eyes.

Currently the residential racial composition of greater Buckhead is with 77.5 percent white, eleven percent black, six percent Asian, three percent Other, and 2.2 percent two or more races. A total of seven percent of the population, regardless of race, that is Hispanic in origin is seven percent.

Guess you missed the whole KKK thing, the Third Reich, the Tootsies and the Hutus, etc.

You are welcome to your own opinions, but you are not welcome to your own facts.

Another attempt to spank me for not agreeing with your Bullsh*t, eh? Okay TX, do something honorable for a change and QUOTE EXACTLY my specific comment(s) that support your accusations. Take your time, Sport!

[TheWriterTX]

I clearly wrote that every group at some time had a faction advocating for violence.

You said “wrong” and went on a rant.

I provided several examples from recent history.

You engaged in another rant.

Sorry, Sport, but you need to crack open a history book.

You can hate the BLM/Antifa clowns all you want, I’m right there with you, but there is an ugly contingent on FR that likes to presume all black people are this or that. That’s bull, counter-productive, and I will call it out whenever I see it.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

That’s bull, counter-productive, and I will call it out whenever I see it.
.......................................................
And I agree with you. But you jumped to a mistaken conclusion by assuming I’m one of that group.

There has always been a segment of every color looking to start violence. Before it was relegated to the fringe; the media and academia are making it front and center.
............................................
What I was referring to as “wrong” was your second sentence above, not the first sentence, which I’m sure was clear to you, but obviously you didn’t want to respond to that criticism because it was factual.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Don’t buy the lib lie. No color is locked into monolithic group think.

This statement, by the way, uniquely qualifies you as a Master of The Obvious!

I always preferred cape town but it’s sinking too

In the 70s Atlanta was like a fun town....music and babes

Of course, but what of it? Everyone on the planet is a racist. And by the way, if where you live is so safe why do you always carry?

I'm safe, BECAUSE I CARRY, EVERYWHERE.

Not just on my block, at my Church, at local restaurants to visit my friends, every time I get into a vehicle, even when I cut my grass.

Every one on the planet is NOT a racist.

A racist believes in superiority/inferiority because of ones race, and neither I, nor do most people I know believe that.

If you do, you need to do some soul searching.

“I live on a street that is an oval, one mile around, with 98 homes and with a single entrance.There are about a dozen black and brown families and everyone works.”

Sounds like a gated community with wealthier blacks. Live on an average street with majority blacks that are not wealthy and get back in touch with me.

Nope, No gates, no guards, no "wealthier blacks". Everyone works at regular jobs.

We have doctors and lawyers but my other, white next door neighbor works 'shift work' at a fire brick plant and the guy across the street is a retired postal worker.

If you consider everyone with a job as 'wealthier' then this neighborhood is that, but I'd bet this area is just about middle income and is very average.

If you live in a ghetto, yep, the people will be street people, but they will all be street people, whites, blacks and browns will exist using the non-law of the street.

I said I carry, I didn't say I shoot anyone that I don't like.

If your mother in law got caught up in an inner city neighborhood that got caught in a downward spiral, I'm sorry for her, but that isn't this neighborhood.

Why don't you just admit you made a dumb ass statement and call it a day {or coupla days}.

...............................................
That’s only one narrow and pejorative definition of racism that you, like most people who use the term, employ as a cudgel to bludgeon people whom they wish to excoriate, which of course is why it’s used ad nauseam by all Leftists and countless black activist race baiters.

By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask you why you posted the following comment?
...........................................
Guess you missed the whole KKK thing, the Third Reich, the Tootsies and the Hutus, etc.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

I provided several examples from recent history.
..................................................
So please explain to me again why you provided those examples.

[PghBaldy]

It really is not complicated at all. There is widespread support in the black community for thugs, especially when attacking whites, Asians and hispanics. The community is sick and twisted.

[setter]

Why don’t you just admit you made a dumb ass statement and call it a day {or coupla days}.

There is a reason for the term white flight and it is still going on.

I just pointed out there is Statistical information that supported the earlier Poster’s comments.

Unfortunately, there is a thing called “Black Culture”, which in this day and age has become a mix of Criminality, Envy and Victimhood. Unfortunately, a majority of the Black Population buys into this crap.

Where I live there is a substantial Black Majority and 99% of them supported Hillary and Biden in the last two Presidential Elections. Let’s just say there are not a lot of deep thinkers in that group and leave it at that.

I had two tell me they Voted for Commiela, not Biden. It was obvious that skin tone is the only reason they Voted that way and these particular people are what we would call part of the working Middle Class.

Unfortunately the majority of Crime here is Black on Black. There is absolutely no White on Black Crime, even with a substantial number of Whites who are Government dependent low Income earners which is a Culture in itself.

It doesn’t make someone a Bigot for pointing this out. It is obvious to those who care to open their eyes and see what is happening right before them.

All I can offer you is this regarding Statistics which fits your stated opinion:

Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.”
- Mark Twain’s Own Autobiography: The Chapters from the North American Review

When all is said and done, it is what it is. The DEMONCRAT Party has all the power now and they will insure that this manufactured Racial Divide will only proliferate with a vengeance.

The Republic is dead, long live the Republic.

I’m safe, BECAUSE I CARRY, EVERYWHERE.
