Lets talk about...Black racism

[DrLove]

I am responding because I KNOW that there are members who respectfully disagree with your opinion but are hesitant to go on record (maybe they are young and do not want a post here to get them canceled in the future).

"Liberals" (my foot!) are always using that "poverty" issue to excuse "not nice" behavior.

How poor can some perps be when they often are seen to be wearing stylish clothes and shoes, talking on smartphones, and even driving expensive getaway cars?

Besides, did a lot of poor Caucasians (and African Americans) during the Great Depression of the 1930s go around killing liquor store clerks and sucker punching innocent people and looting and raping and murdering? NO.

With all sincerity, I wish you a nice weekend and really, really, really hope that you continue to have a rosy view about certain folks.

Yep I've seen your "Great Depression" comparison - Comparing 1930's America of nearly a hundred years ago to present day just doesn't work for me. Additionally, there was plenty of crime back then - Mostly white crime actually - It doesn't get talked about much and many are simply unaware of it.

The passage of the 18th Amendment and the introduction of Prohibition in 1920 fueled the rise of organized crime, with gangsters growing rich on profits from bootleg liquor—often aided by corrupt local policemen and politicians.​

​

According to the FBI, Chicago alone had an estimated 1,300 gangs by the mid-1920s, a situation that led to turf wars and other violent activities between rival gangs.​

​

Prohibition was unpopular with the public and bootleggers became heroes to many for supplying illegal alcohol during hard times. In hit movies like Little Caesar and The Public Enemy (both released in 1931), Hollywood depicted gangsters as champions of individualism and self-made men surviving in tough economic times.​

​

Though the country’s most famous real-life gangster, Al Capone, was locked up for tax evasion in 1931 and spent the rest of the decade in federal prison, others like Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky (both in New York City) pushed aside old-line crime bosses to form a new, ruthless Mafia syndicate.​

​

The end of Prohibition in 1933 deprived many gangsters of their lucrative bootlegging operations, forcing them to fall back on the old standbys of gambling and prostitution, as well as new opportunities in loan-sharking, labor racketeering and drug trafficking.​

No, sir!

It is not intellectually honest to compare Al Capone's crimes with the ordinary street thugs' crimes of liquor store clerk murders, sucker punching innocent pedestrians, looting stores, raping, etc.

The stories that many cops tell about their experiences on the mean streets of New York City, Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, etc. make people sick to their stomach.

Such behavior is disgraceful and unexcusable.

And it ain't because of "poverty." (Look at the behavior of a lot of pro athletes!)

The truth hurts.

So I CAN understand why liberals continue to find excuses.

 

[bodecea]

its real, it exists. Lets talk about black hate groups. BIack Hebrew Israelites. Same ones that taunted Nick Sandman in 2019, that hate whites and some of their members went on a rampage and killed some whites and Jews. Why didn't the media point any of this out?

Of course it exists....all groups are capable of racism....some of the worst are the Japanese.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Roughly... there is no doubt, percentage wise, blacks are probably at least 10 times more racist than whites.

You probably should have kept reading

Public Enemies and G-Men
The kidnapping and murder of the infant son of Charles Lindbergh in 1931 increased the growing sense of lawlessness in the Depression era. Amidst a media frenzy, the Lindbergh Law, passed in 1932, increased the jurisdiction of the relatively new Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its hard-charging director, J. Edgar Hoover.

At the same time, colorful figures like John Dillinger, Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, “Baby Face” Nelson and “Ma” Barker and her sons were committing a wave of bank robberies and other crimes across the country.

Many Americans who had lost confidence in their government, and especially in their banks, saw these daring figures as outlaw heroes, even as the FBI included them on its new “Public Enemies” list.

But after the so-called Kansas City Massacre in June 1933, in which three gunmen fatally ambushed a group of unarmed police officers and FBI agents escorting bank robber Frank Nash back to prison, the public seemed to welcome a full-fledged war on crime.

A new anti-crime package spearheaded by President Franklin D. Rooseveltand his attorney general, Homer S. Cummings, became law in 1934, and Congress granted FBI agents the authority to carry guns and make arrests. By the end of 1934, many high-profile outlaws had been killed or captured, and Hollywood was glorifying Hoover and his “G-men” in their own movies.

Same thing in poor majority white neighborhoods as well.

Yet, they arent the ones killing 25k people a year.

 

[San Souci]

Snowflake liberals are patronizing blacks, inflating their egos and emboldening them to violence.

As if they need to.

 

[John T. Ford]

Violent neighborhoods are a poverty issue - NOT a race issue. You see the same thing in the barrio. Same thing in poor majority white neighborhoods as well. Ah well, guess this conversation came to a screeching halt ;-)

Bullshit !

Violence and poverty are BOTH a race issue.

You psycho Leftist have been trying to excuse the violence perpetrated by Black Americans for years and no normal thinking American is buying your Bullshit.

Although I would prefer more gentle wording, I agree with the poster that it is insulting to attribute the senseless and traumatic violence committed by certain folks to "poverty."

I bet you dollars to donuts that even after certain folks leave "poverty" with the arrival of reparations checks, their crime rate will not diminish and may even increase.

I'll put this as gently as possible: John T Ford is a racist. You - meh - I don't really think so. Just misguided.

 

[Rye Catcher]

There is no debate about where the violence is coming from in this Country.

Did you see all those black faces at the Capitol on 6 January? Yes or No. How many mass murderers have been black, white, or other?

Why would you prefer gentler words?

Is it because the Left has beaten down your 1st Amendment Right to the point you are afraid of speaking the Truth? The reality that is in front of us ALL for ALL to see?

You my friend are part of the problem.

Speaking the Truth does not make one a "racist" as all the "Woke-ist Communist" will accuse you of.

It makes one an unashamed AMERICAN !!!

A true lover and supporter of Freedom and Liberty and what it truthful and righteous !!

There is a reason our Founding Fathers made Freedom of Speech the very 1st Amendment to the US Constitution.

Hi,

1. I am a gentle (AKA timid) person. Been that way for 84 years,

2. I realize that (especially now) discussion forums are enforcing their rules.

a. Like a lot of other people, I am astonished how much freedom is allowed (for words and illustrations) here. At the other political forum on which I also (cautiously) post, the moderators would never allow much that is allowed here.

3. I, too, love freedom of speech, but I realize that there have to be some common sense restrictions (such as the famous one: "You may not falsely yell 'Fire' in a crowded theater." Is that why Big Tech will not allow people to question the honesty of 2020's presidential election?).

4. You're right. Calling someone a "racist" is now used to shut up people with other views. When I was younger, the word "communist" was used to denigrate other views. And believe it or not, there was a time that politicians ran from the word "liberal" which for a time was a synonym for "communist."



Have a nice weekend!
