Actually, he's indicated that blacks commit crime because they are financially handicapped. This financial handicap suffered by blacks is a direct result of white "privilege". In short, blacks commit crimes because white folk are more financially capable than blacks.Less than 28% but the ultimate goal is 0%. Blacks commit crime due to financial reason for the most part. If finances were not a problem we would probably have a 3% crime rate.Simple minded assessment? What percentage of crimes do you think would be appropriate for whites to commit?
So you want whites to be responsible for none of the crimes committed, leaving that for all other races? How would that be a positive thing? We'll ignore how completely irrational it is to think an entire race, particularly one that makes up most of the population, would not commit any of the crimes. Of course, since you brought up 28%, it seems as if you were actually talking about crimes committed by blacks rather than whites.
I would guess that economic status/financial issues are a motivation for many crimes by people of all races. However, people commit a whole lot of crimes based on things completely separate from finances.
But you don't ignore how irrational it is to think that because you have the most people you get to excuse the fact that you commit the most crimes. Especially when you have the most of all the things that are supposed to prevent crime.
What are the things that are supposed to prevent crime that whites have more of than others?
I haven't said anything about the underlying reasons behind rates of crime, I don't believe.
Nor, that I can recall, have you argued here about the reasons for why crime rates might be different among different races. At least, I don't recall you saying anything like "yes, blacks have a higher crime rate, but that is due to XXXXX." Instead, your argument seems to have consisted of "Whites commit more crimes, and that's the only important statistics, regardless of total population numbers."
Obviously the reasons behind the differences in crime rates among races is an important part of the conversation. I've brought it up very briefly in this thread. Systemic bias in the legal system, economic status, cultural issues, there are any number of factors that might combine to account for the discrepancy in crime rate.
The ideal would be for every racial group to have a criminal representation approximate to their population number.
Are you insane? Did you learn history from a Bazooka Joes wrapper?
