A white rider van with armed African-Americans pulled up and said "F the police" and they next heard a gun shot.

And their race is relevant how?

This thread is quite likely to be pulled shortly because I can't quite remove all the racist and "nuke the city" comments as fast you're making them.

Because most of the looters and thugs are african americans. How many whites did you see looting? Some, yes, but not many.

Well, to liberals, it does not matter.

But in the real world, to law enforcement, courts, and prosecutors, it is important to clearly identify who is committing a crime. Otherwise, every crime report would be "A person committed a crime, be on the outlook for a person".

Obviously, that does not get the job done in identification.

Surely, you see how silly your point is now.

In the U.S., criminal violence is also strongly associated with big cities, and where there are large concentrations of African-Americans.

It's hard to ignore the sex (male), age (under 25), race (African American), and residency (urban) correlates of criminal violence, since well over half (and nearly three quarters) of violent offenders are characterized by this demographic profile (Miethe & McCorkle 1998), which is also known in criminology as the subculture of violence hypothesis.

In rank order, cities like New Orleans, Washington, St. Louis, Detroit, Atlanta, Birmingham, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York have homicide rates that are frequently five times the national average of 8.2 per 100,000 population.

Cities like Little Rock and San Bernardino have the highest rates of aggravated assault.

I am going to go out on a PC limb here and say what should be said. Black youth have been sold a bill of goods that the gangsta lifestyle is their culture, Ebonics and all. We embrace it by not condemning the violence promoted by MTV, etc. Liberals tell us that we should celebrate this diversity. I say, bullsh%$!

Bill Cosby got it right. These people should have been encouraged to assimilate with mainstream America instead of being given a thug faux-culture. Instead, the greatest sin one of these thugs can commit is to be an OREO, that is to say, an American.

Yes, it's because they are black that liberals have saddled them with this mentality, a mentality that will keep them from ever being productive and keep them on the public dole.

Okay, flame away
