Thank you, but what's the purpose of that information?

If you pull up statistics showing black vs. white crime rates as a way of demonstrating how the relative poverty, lack of educational attainment, frequent idealization of the "gangster" lifestyle, etc. among black Americans raises crime rates, that's one thing. But if you just publish statistics in order to attack folks just on account of their skin color, maybe you've found the wrong forum.

First, look at the title of this thread. Second, poverty and lack of education doesn't cause crime rates to go up and cannot account for the fact that blacks commit violent crimes 50 times more than other races (when adjusted for proportion to population). Third, there is a REAL problem in the black community (illegitimacy) that is exacerbated by drug use, government handouts, and especially other blacks who simply cannot stand to see someone make it out of the 'hood. Many politicians also need to keep blacks poor, uneducated, and dependent on the government as their power base. If a credible person had brought up Farrakan's "Day of Atonement" idea, it might have worked. All it ever was to Farrakan was a chance to grab some headlines, money, and power.

No, he is in the correct forum. Honest facts harm no one.

My grandmother used to tell me, "Being poor is not an excuse for being a criminal". She's right!

TYPICAL LIBERAL "IMA VICTIM, YOUA VICTIM, WEBE VICTIMS" DRIVEL.

(1) I believe the poster was just pointing out the irony of the Deputy Police Head's decidedly un-PC statement followed by his calling for the King of PC, Jesse Jackson.

(2) Your reaction to this post is a typical liberal response to the true facts about crime in America, i.e. IGNORE THE FACTS, GO FOR EMOTIONS.
Make excuses for the perps.
Forgive the perps.
It's not their fault that they CHOSE a life of crime.
It's not their fault that the CHOSE to pull the trigger.
THEY'RE VICTIMS after all.
If you were the real Andy Card, your attitude wouldn't suprise me, comming from the most PC of PC states, Massachusetts.

(3) You DESERVE to live a few doors down from that Fat Commie Bastard Kennedy. Birds of a feather....

And the mind boggles. In free Western society, information is valued for its own sake. To ask for the "purpose" of information is usually the province of theocrats and tyrants.

Oh, and leftists, I suppose.

But if you just publish statistics in order to attack folks just on account of their skin color

So, you are a mind reader. You read Blood of Tyrants' mind and determined that the reason he posted statistics was "in order to attack folks just on account of their skin color". It couldn't be that they are facts and worth knowing.

Once again, this is the tactic of a leftist: attack your opponent's motives, and impugn evil purposes which you think are lurking behind his words. You simply cannot grant that Blood of Tyrants could be sincere in his attempts to enligthen.

After all, what political "purpose" would that serve you?

Why do you wonder about the purpose of posting thisinformation? If it's true, shouldn't that be enough? I take it you are one of those who want truths that do not fit your preferences to just be hidden.

Those who don't work have little if any income; those who drop out of school have little education and few skills; gangsters have lots of money and are quite clever at getting more and are themselves mostly people of color.

Gangsters also go to jail more often than other people and come back on the street ready to start right back in where they left off; maybe a parolee relocation program might short-circuit this cycle. Maybe not.
