African Americans in the States
I am simply sharing something I found online that I found interesting. The post below is not written by me so put away the pitchforks. I have bolded the interesting part.
[quote]
[u][b]In terms of crime, black americans commit 32.9% of crime in the united states, despite only compromising 16.3% of the U.S. population http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus06.pdf
in terms of unemployment rates, blacks consistently score higher than any other race or minority, by a long shot. http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat05.pdf
Just drawing from 2005 as an example, 7999 blacks die on an annual basis, 93% of which died from violence from other blacks. No other race or minority, again, even comes close to those numbers http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2013/jul/17/tweets/look-statistic-blacks-and-murder
In terms of prison populations, blacks compromise 39.4% of prison population, while only compromising 16.3% of the population http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States
In terms of welfare statistics, blacks compromise 39.8% of welfare recipients while, again, only being 16.3% of the population[/b][/u]

TL;DR: Read the underlined bold print.
Thoughts flood?
Edited down to just the stats because people were getting distracted.

4 RepliesAmerica deserves it. They bring blacks over from a different continent, enslave them, beat them and murder them and then generations later whine about how the crime rate is too high. I wonder what they were complaining about back then. [spoiler]my cats licking her butt[/spoiler]

They go to jail more because they're stopped more.

It's not their fault us dirty racist whites say that they should WORK for a living, how unfair of us not to pay for their many children and drug habits >:(

3 Replies[quote]In terms of crime, black americans commit 32.9% of crime in the united states, despite only compromising 16.3% of the U.S. population[/quote] Presumptuous statement. This implies all who commit crimes are incarcerated at an equal rate at which they commit crimes. Blacks may be incarcerated in 32% of the crimes but this does not mean they commit 32% of the crimes. Many factors could go into this result. Racial profiling being one of them, the statistics of the stop and frisk session show how severe it can be. [quote]in terms of unemployment rates, blacks consistently score higher than any other race or minority, by a long shot. [/quote] There are many variables that go into this statistic such as the fact that the amount of blacks living in poverty is much higher than whites. Life is harder for someone in poverty for many reasons. The stress of the situation alone can greatly impact academic performance. Many times there is a gang culture in poorer areas and peers pressure each other into criminal activities like selling drugs. Black communities need to have leaders who advocate they stop this cycle. The rest are for the same reasons. What are you trying to show OP? Because all you're showing me is that something needs to be done about the socioeconomic situations and there needs to be cultural changes in the communities where crime is more prevalent.

6 RepliesHow about the stats that show African Americans are disproportionally arrested and convicted of crimes? Or how about Stats that normalize around socioeconomic background?

4 RepliesMy thoughts? Why don't we stigmatize the blacks like we do the Muslims here in the US? You have a much higher chance of being killed by some black dude than an Arab lol. And for the love of Allah stop calling them "african americans", their BLACK. Grow a -blam!-ing pair ya -blam!-s and say it like it is.

Can I get the author of the article? And also the place of publication? Because if it came from Albert J. Smith of the KKK's monthly magazine, that destroys the articles validity. What exactly is he proposing to do about this "colored nuisance" that is the black minority? Should we "ship them back to Africa"? Perhaps we should hang up the troublemakers in the streets ala mob justice? [spoiler]Bait is the tops, man.[/spoiler]
