So you don’t think it’s possible, even likely, that the “epidemic of violence” that Windflier was talking about could possibly be environmentally driven? Or are all blacks just genetically programmed to be uncouth savages?

The fact is we all have the genetic programming to be monsters; unfortunately it’s encouraged behavior in “da hood.” It’s glamorized and mimicked by new generation after new generation.

The sad fact is, the current generation (and probably the next generation) of blacks are mostly lost to the “thug” mentality perpetrated by their own popular entertainers and sports stars (role models for “thug life”, all). Blacks in general won’t listen to whites in general, especially for advice about how to clean up their house. That means they’ll have to police their own. Bill Cosby tried it and made a noble effort, but it’s going to take a lot more than that. I don’t see it happening anytime soon, unfortunately.

Your conjecture is merely a blanket, idiotic statement. We can all be awful people to some degree or another, it doesn’t matter where our ancestors come from. That’s why I’m not running around like a Scottish Highlander, that’s why I was never blown up on a patrol by an Arab Christian.

I’m personally very cynical about the so-called “black community,” too, but your statement was illogical, insulting, and inappropriate.

Bingo.

You've said it more directly, and in a more down to earth way than I managed to. That is the precise dynamic at work.

Environmentally driven? How so, blacks have every opportunity placed before them to incorporate themselves into the mainstream of society. They can live anywhere, go to school anywhere, opportunities are endless for them, there's no rhyme or reason there's all this crime and violence emanating at such a widespread level from their communities.

Like B-chan said, in some areas they control whole towns and cities and police forces and still they can't get a handle on their problem so what's up with that? There's this wave of black violent criminal acts across the country that has been gradually getting worse for decades despite more and more opportunities that are available to them. So what is their major malfunction?

Well guess we'll just have to disagree as I see nothing illogical, insulting, or inappropriate about my statement as it's definitely something to be considered, not saying it can't be overcome but I am saying that excessive violence seems to be a common reoccurring theme among the African peoples of the planet and you can't just keep whitewashing that fact away every time someone brings it up by screaming ..............
