    Well, it seems the obvious answers to simple questions are unknown, or people are purposely obtuse in order to justify quota systems. I was asked in another thread:
    If the playing field is level, why do minorities fare so poorly in some instances? For instance, why are they represented in jails, in poorer neighborhoods, etc etc much more than their numbers would suggest?
    The short answer I immediately comes to mind is that crime rates are influenced by where we live and the character of those raising us. The past influences this a great deal, but quota systems in jobs do not address the root problems.

    Here are a few things I quickly found:





    Now if we go by the 2010 census, blacks make up 12.6% of the population but about 1/3rd of the gangs in the USA. That simple fact shows there is a difference in ethics, when viewed statistically. Statistics of other related items will tend to be close to such numbers.

    I'm not going to do any deep research into this. The facts speak for themselves. I don't see a simple fix. How do you change a culture?

    So statistics are a form of bigotry?

    How about sticking with what can be found instead of making this about me. Really, I'm flattered, but this shouldn't be about me.

    Your reading of the statistics posted, with absolutely zero attempt to analyze them critically, as factual evidence that blacks are ethically inferior to whites based upon an unchangeable aspect of their culture is, absolutely, bigotry.

    You are the only person here making any of this about you.

    70% of the world's poor people are women; therefore women are lazy and don't work hard.
    Again, you are a disgusting human being and your ignorance makes me sad.

    We as a society have devalued what it should take to raise a child. There's no accountability. People should have a license to have babies like they should have a license to use a gun. Not literally of course. All I'm saying is people need to be held accountable for what they do with their . And they're not.

    You say I am disgusting for pointing out some accepted facts?

    OK. I understand. You can't handle the truth.

    It was a simple response to a question. Make what you wish of it. I don't care how long you wear those blinders.

    Peconcieved notions.

    I guess reinforcing that you're a bigot is what you love doing in threads.

    It's clear that Caucasians are sniffed by drug dogs more easily since they live in clean places, not like the other bad guys...

    Why do you think blacks are more likely to join gangs than other minorities? Did you ever look at data from minorities in middle to upper class neighborhoods? How about the percentage of whites who are from poor areas that commit crimes, as opposed to whites from more affluent areas?

    And one might argue that a way to change the culture is to increase the number of minorities holding down steady jobs.

    Here we are, in the 21 century and there are still people who think we have different races of humans.

    You all are just a bunch of racists.

    What is your point? I think you're agreeing with me, but don't realize it.

    Yes, fewer whites live in impoverished areas than blacks. I will assume that they exhibit the same rates as blacks who are living in such areas.

    As I have repeatedly said. It's not color, it's culture.

    Agreed, but it's a vicious circle. Unless people have an active interest to break the cycle who live it, outside influence doesn't do much.

    I see you missed the comparison I made.

    Blacks make up about 33% of the gangs, but the 2010 census shows that blacks make up about 12.6% of the population.

    One of those two links I posted shows blacks at 4 times the gang rate as whites.

    Christians are 37 times more likely to be incarcerated in their lifetimes than atheists.

    What if...

    What if we changed the laws so that anyone joining a gang that didn't have a proper financial future could be subject to legal recourse?

    Obviously, there's so many Latinos and Blacks in gangs due to affirmative action. Just look at the numbers for the good minority, Asians.

    I personally wouldn't trust the qualifications of black gang member to kill me in a drive-by.
