It strikes me as odd how many black people are jumping on the Obama band wagon considering how early in the campaign they overwhelmingly supported Clinton.  It k ind of reminds me of how no black person knew who Tiger woods was until he started winning and then tried to claim him.  But, I don't think those screaming idiots represent all of Obama supporters and more importantly Obama himself.

for sure, but the problem is that colored leaders would destroy the quality of life for the whites, who built this country int he first place.

So even if mac cain is a moron, at least he will care about his owns, like obama will only care about the blacks.

All 3 candidates are flawed.  Only an idiot in denial would say any one of them is the perfect candidate.  however, I think any of the 3 will do fine in office.  Anyone who says "So-and-so will destroy America" is being a drama queen and is completely unaware of the many support systems in place to prevent one guys' bad judgment from hurting anything in a big way.

No.  For two reasons.

1) Lawmakers (who are rich) would embrace this new "change-ability" of right-to-vote, and quickly make it anyone worth less than $500k cannot vote.  While this wouldn't affect getbiggers, our gym-mates would be disenfranchised.

2) Our Constitution says all men were created equal, and all have one equal vote.  Employing a test nullifies the Constitution and well, you know what comes after that...

He cared for *rich* white people, primarily those with interests in or directly linked to big oil.

You know, there is this legend based on a black man called "John Henry". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_(folklore) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_(folklore)).

Now it is debatable that he existed, but he represented the "blue-collar" work ethic...Also many blacks of the previous gen, were admired for their work-ethic, they just were rewarded by having to use a separate bathroom out back. 

"hustlin" is a job, I don't excuse it, but many of our politicians, and CEO are "hustlin" in many ways, just not in drugs.

It's funny how people  talk about getting jobs, and wanting jobs, showing the willing-ness to work, but then people shoot them down, saying, "like you're going to work anyway", and that my friend is the attitude that fuels people to not work a "9-5", but hustle instead, because people like you will not give the chance, simply by looking at them. Yet you'll hire a hispanic dude with a criminal record, who got over here illegally, and pay him for dirt cheap.

LOL bro ive known quite a few drug dealers in my time and not one has done it b/c they couldnt find a job!!! they did it b/c it was easy and a quick way of making money, I have no problem with race only when people use race as an excuse!!! Tell me that these drug dealers couldnt honestly get a legit job if they wanted to? I agree that there are white collar business men who are hustling, LOL guess what though what they are hustling is LEGAL major difference!!! Did you even watch the video these ppl dont care about illegal immigrants, they want open borders. Work ethic is great but dealing drugs b/c you dont want to get a legit job is another.
Instead of talking to ppl like me maybe you should educate ppl like them...

how did bush get around these "support systems" ?  ???

He didn't, he is working in them according to plan.

Are you familiar with the PNAC document?  WIKI it.  Cheney, Jeb, wolfy, rummy, and helf of the future Bush admin all sat down and wrote down their plan.  It involved a "new pearl harbor" which would lead to permission slip to start 3 wars in middle east in the 3 pipeline nations (afghan, iraq, iran all in a row).

They told us the plan, and we voted them in.  And they're following the plan to keep the dollar in play and to control world oil and the bases too.

Bush is following a plan quite well.  Sure, the side effects are bad, but as far as the goals go, the support system worked great here.  we have bases, oil, etc.  Bush will be seen as a success by history.  Rid the world of terrorism, control oil of arabia, etc.  Bush wins, dude.

but in an actual response to tre's question, I have heard this many times but have never seen how they get this conclusion. Im not saying its wrong only that I've never seen how they got this conclusion. Many things seem wrong in face value, but perhaps the AA males recieve stiffer sentences b/c they are repeat offenders, also im sure if you looked at the spread of punishments of AA males there are individuals who recieve the same or less punishment than white males, Id like to see this number compared to the number of white offenders who get "lesser" punishments. So im not saying its wrong just that Id need to see more on it.

Why is that?   
I simply don't believe a person get a longer sentence for a similar crime because they are of a different color. There's probably other circumstances involved such as the person who gets the longer sentence has a previous record compared to the other guy. Also, people whine that's it's not fair that crack users and dealers get longer sentences than their powder using counterparts. The problem is the Crack thugs ended up being involved in murder and violence, and being in gangs, more than some white guy who occasionally got busted with a gram of coke. One guy is obviously considered more of a menace to society than the other guy.

FDR allowed pearl harbor to happen.  Hell, he moved all the expensive boats out of the area so that only the scrapyard boats would be destroyed.  He NEEDED it, so we could intervene in WWII before hitler won and then used UK/Rus forces to invade the USA.

Bush allowed 911 to happen.  Hell, he did it in two buildings which would have been condemned due to asbestos in 2002.  He NEEDED it, so we could intervene in Mid-East resources before this generation of arabs grew up, unified, then used their oil and Chinese labor/consumerism to shrink and eventually starve out EUR/USA.

Same damn thing.  history will see Bush as a hero.  All the pissy little whining done by people today won't matter.  History is written by the winners.

I completely agree with not putting as many non-violent offenders in jail.

Tre, one of the reasons is that many are repeat offenders, particularly when it comes to drug offenses which plays a major role in punishment.  (My bro is a defense lawyer).  It still may not completely explain all the differences in sentancing but this is a major factor that few people consider.  Still, I agree.  There's no reason we should be putting drug offenders of any color in jail so easily.

Absolutely, Bush didn't help "white" people at all.  He helped big business and multi-millionaires.
Obama's socialist policies worry me as well.  I hope McCain can separate himself enough from Bush...thats the only way I'll vote for him.  My boy RP is out!

I simply don't believe a person get a longer sentence for a similar crime because they are of a different color. There's probably other circumstances involved such as the person who gets the longer sentence has a previous record compared to the other guy. Also, people whine that's it's not fair that crack users and dealers get longer sentences than their powder using counterparts. The problem is the Crack thugs ended up being involved in murder and violence, and being in gangs, more than some white guy who occasionally got busted with a gram of coke. One guy is obviously considered more of a menace to society than the other guy.

Both offenders are 'non-violent'.

Actually not implying that. Just raising interesting questions. Are humans so much different from the Animal Kingdom? Certain breeds of dogs are by nature more agressive than others. Isn't it remotely possible that all breeds of humans are not identical in terms of certain behaviors. For example, couldn't one race of human have naturally higher occuring testosterone levels, predisposing them to more muscularity and the ability to excel at contact sports such as Boxing and football. Couldn't certain races have more agressive tendencies and be more likely to kill over small provocations. People in West Palm, Forida are constantly being asked why they murdered their victim and often an answer is heard such as  "Yo, the sucker dissed me" or "He was messin' wit my playstation". So when people are killed because they "Diss" someone or in Africa, where hacking the arms off of small children in entire tribes is commonplace, these are not outrageous questions to ponder.

no not outrageous to ponder, but I think that its more of the enviroment and support system of the AA community. I could see perhaps anomalies in the population maybe but to say that an entire race is predisposed i think is stretching it. Perhaps evolution from forced slavery causing the physically strong and athletic to survive is why they excel at contact sports. Whatever the reasoning behind the actions the fact remains the same however, life isnt fair and all men are not created equally and sooner or later you have to take responsibilities for your actions no matter what the circumstances

I agree with much this, but i see the same problem in other cultures in America.  Victim-ology. You see it every where it seems.  I think some hip hp or rap songs seem to highlight it.  But the attitude of non-responsibility still prevails in whites and latinos who come from impoverished nieghborhoods.  So i don't know that this is the cause.

Black males charged with a crime have a higher likelihood of being convicted and sentenced to prison time than white males charged with the same offense.  

Having lived in areas with high, average, and low Black populations (relative to Whites and Latinos), I feel comfortable in stating that crime rates tend to be more in line with socio-economic class than with race.  

I don't have enough information at my fingertips to talk about the differences between property, personal, and drug crime stats, however.  I'm speaking only in the most general terms and the reason you have a perception of 'more Blacks committing crimes than Whites' most likely comes down to the fact that a higher proportion of Blacks are in the lower socio-economic classes.  

This, however, is not an excuse for bad behavior.

Absolutely!

This is a link to testosterone levels in blacks vs. whites.  There is no significant difference in testosterone levels.  Blacks tend to have a bit higher estrogen which may be the cause of increased prostate problems.  There is more obestiy among older black Americans which could explain the differences in estrogen.  Interestingly, the study found Mexican Americans with higher test levels on average compared to blacks & whites.

IMO, blacks excell in certain sports because of speed, not strength.  Most of the strength sports are dominated by Eastern Europeans.

A few points:

1.  Crime is not genetic.

2.  This has nothing to do with political correctness, which is a nice buzz phrase some use to deflect attention away from arguments that have no factual basis.  I do believe political correctness is a problem, but not when there is a discussion about whether crime is genetic.

3.  It's interesting how some people latch on to distorted statistics to support what in reality are their own racist beliefs, but run like scalded dogs when those statistics make their own group look pretty bad.  For instance, how do you explain the disproportionate number of pedophiles, serial killers, and mass murderers who are white?  Is that genetic?  I don't think so, but it's the same illogical conclusion reached by those on this race/crime thing.  

4.  I think it's almost comical how people will say the prevalence of successful minorities is the result of affirmative action, the prevalence of minorities in sports is because they have a genetic advantage, the supposed disproportionate number of minorities involved in violent crime is because they are genetically intellectually inferior.  None of it makes any sense.

I believe we can generally agree that crime and skin color are not directly correlated to each other in terms of genetics, but in hard facts, it is, if one were to look at the various FBI crime statistics.  US blacks commit by far a disproportionate amount of a large category of various crimes in comparison to other ethnic groups.  It is obvious that socioeconomic and poverty factors do not alone or overwhelmingly contribute to how and why crimes are committed. 

Like Chemist said, there are a plethora of communities made up of various ethnicities throughout the US that are further below the poverty line than comparable to other black groups that have much lower crime rates(the poorer white communities in West Virginia, border/shanty-towns along the SW border, divisions of "Chinatown", etc.).  However, there is ONE comparison that no one has yet looked at.

Which group contains the most groups and "Leaders" representing the ethnic group?  Which group calls for Reparations?  Which group takes a larger percentage of social handouts?  Which group wields more power in terms of political correctness and social sensitivities?  It's people such as Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, the King children, the NAACP, the Urban League, and other various "civil rights" organizations that work fervently to keep racial tensions high and blacks on the bottom rung of the ladder.  These folks make MILLIONS AND MILLIONS by keeping blacks in the dirt....making public education laughable in terms of challenge, stupidly high incarceration rates(something outside of the black community and in the hands of politicians), looking to whites for money and social services.  The true racists are these unelected leaders and co-conspirators in the Democrat and Republican parties who continue to support destructive policies such as affirmative action, race-based quotas, racial politics, and heightened sensitivities.  Thanks!  And thank you to all the lawyers who await in the back with predatory eyes and sharp teeth looking to pounce and make millions off anything insensitive.

Bump for big mal or tre to answer this, we answered your question.

My bad. hadnt been on much. But i think the reason starts with education. I would say education and money but money leads back to education. So with that as a basis. It is an inacurate and irresponsible to compare poor blacks with rich whites. Compare people of the same SEC (socio econamic status)  and you will get most of the same trends no matter what race. Because along the same lines you theorize blacks are born predisposed to breaking laws. All you have to do is find a black that hasnt broken the law and that theory is out of the window. You can take a black kid and at birth placed him with a rich successful educated family more than likley he will take on those values and become educated and successful. As well as if you take a poor white kid and place him in Robert Johnsons house he will mold into a rich successful educated man.

I say all that to say you have to look deeper than skin to rationalize some of the social trends that on the surface seem affect a certian race.

You obviously have never read FBI crime statistics which illustrate the truth quite clearly. I am not a racist as anyone who knows me could tell you. I have several good friends who are Black, and even they aren't happy with the tremendouss amount of criminals in their community. In fact they look down on all the gang-banging, underwear out their pants types. But I am right about huge cultural differences when it comes to crime. When the OJ Simpson verdict was announced, millions of blacks across the country cheered. That's when I saw, not only are they not upset the man killed someone, they cheered him on! Obviously, Murder doesn't have the same meaning in that community. Yeah, I know..he was found innocent, by a predominately Black jury. If one of my white quarterback idols had the exact set of same circumstances, you can bet I and the rest of white America wouldn't cheer him on. Definitely a cultural difference.

Yes I have looked at FBI crime statistics.  There are at least two problems with those statistics:

1.  They don't segregate statistics based on income and education.  

2.  They don't explain how they determine race.  Is there a blood quantum?  Do they use visual IDs?  Do you realize how many mixed race people there are in this country?  I would be willing to wager that the people responsible for compiling these statistics use the "looks black, must be black" method.  If there is any significant number of mixed race people in these so-called statistics (as I’m sure there must be), then they are unreliable.

I don't know you,  so I'm not about to call you a racist, but I will say your arguments are used by racists all the time to try and justify their bigotry.

And let me point out that I'm not in any way trying to justify or excuse anyone who commits a crime.  If someone breaks the law, they need to suffer the consequences, whether they are black, white, green, purple, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, etc.

Thank you. And it's true I'm not a racist. In fact, I'm just trying to open a dialogue and hear opinions. On the internet, you can usually hear what people really think. The questions I raise probably go through the minds of millions of people, but they can not ask them in Public Forums without being branded a racist. As a film maker, I have considered making a documentary where numerous people white and black are asked to honestly express their views on each other. I think it would be a great film and the dialogue could eventually foster more understanding and acceptance between the races. Get things out in the open..and then listen to the other guy.

I think it would be a great film and the dialogue could eventually foster more understanding and acceptance between the races. Get things out in the open..and then listen to the other guy. I want to apologize if I've come across as a racist since I am not.

I like your idea and I'm glad you started this discussion.  It's always good to discuss these issues, particularly when someone is being sincere like you are.  

There are some tough questions that need to be asked.  There are some cold hard facts facing some segments of our society.  Where I get hung up is when people try and use the broad brush approach to label people based in innate characteristics.

My bad. hadnt been on much. But i think the reason starts with education. I would say education and money but money leads back to education. So with that as a basis. It is an inacurate and irresponsible to compare poor blacks with rich whites. Compare people of the same SEC (socio econamic status)  and you will get most of the same trends no matter what race. Because along the same lines you theorize blacks are born predisposed to breaking laws. All you have to do is find a black that hasnt broken the law and that theory is out of the window. You can take a black kid and at birth placed him with a rich successful educated family more than likley he will take on those values and become educated and successful. As well as if you take a poor white kid and place him in Robert Johnsons house he will mold into a rich successful educated man.

I say all that to say you have to look deeper than skin to rationalize some of the social trends that on the surface seem affect a certian race.
No Problem
I agree to a certain extent, it seems like your leaning towards the enviroment as the main cause which I totally agree with. Which leads to another question, why expose yourself to that enviroment?, I went to a pretty good public high school in Houston although I lived in probably one of the lowest income neighborhoods to attend that high school. If your children are forced to attend a crappy school b/c of where you live then move. Here in Houston we have probably 2 or 3 government assisted apartments that attend either my high school or one in the same district. What it all boils down to is personal choice, whether to do the school work or skip school and get in trouble, whether to get a legit job or to slang shit on the street etc..., it is your choice and sooner or later you have to take responsibility for your actions no matter what your circumstances.

SPOKEN FOR TRUTH AND ACCURACY.

spoken for truth but. Racial tensions are high because of "the boy who cried wolf" syndrome. when the don imus thing gets front page but the uneven distabution of funds between public schools in the same county that happen to differ in race, dosent get a whisper in the news or from mr sharpton (whom i have written numerous letters to bringing attention to the situation)...we will never be taken serious in this nation.

I agree that the media simply makes non-issues into issues and issues that should be issues to not even be mentioned.  However, I must differ with you on your assumption that school and public education performance is based upon funding.  Even the lesser funded schools in the US are still heads and shoulders, financially anyways, above the majority of the rest of the world.  I must ask..................... ......


-How is it that immigrant children from much, much poorer regions overseas come here and outperform America's kids on very consistent levels?  Whether these kids are from the rural Philippines, old communist block of Eastern Europe, or the badlands of Pakistan, they make our kids look absolutely stupid, whether those kids are from a public school in the inner city or a private school sitting on the hillside.

-Why is it, that despite being a nation of 300+ million, that we are at a lack for skilled engineers and other technicians?  Why are companies recruiting overseas?

-Why do our institutions pace the curriculum at the pace of the dumbest kid in the class?  Why are failures and funding directly correlated to each other? 

-Why are students woefully prepared for college beyond high school(or anything, for that matter).

I can tell you one reason why none of this is, and it isn't due to lack of funding.  This is cultural and also deliberate.

Its a mix of cultural, environmental influences and $.  At the rate we are going, its hard to see how things are going to improve.  I am particularly angry at people like Sharpton & Jackson who make things worse for what they consider "their own people".  F them.  Your "own people" are friends and people who really care about you!

All 3 candidates are flawed.  Only an idiot in denial would say any one of them is the perfect candidate.  however, I think any of the 3 will do fine in office.  Anyone who says "So-and-so will destroy America" is being a drama queen and is completely unaware of the many support systems in place to prevent one guys' bad judgment from hurting anything in a big way.


I have one word for you: ...Bush  :-X

A few points:

1.  Crime is not genetic.

2.  This has nothing to do with political correctness, which is a nice buzz phrase some use to deflect attention away from arguments that have no factual basis.  I do believe political correctness is a problem, but not when there is a discussion about whether crime is genetic.

3.  It's interesting how some people latch on to distorted statistics to support what in reality are their own racist beliefs, but run like scalded dogs when those statistics make their own group look pretty bad.  For instance, how do you explain the disproportionate number of pedophiles, serial killers, and mass murderers who are white?  Is that genetic?  I don't think so, but it's the same illogical conclusion reached by those on this race/crime thing.  

4.  I think it's almost comical how people will say the prevalence of successful minorities is the result of affirmative action, the prevalence of minorities in sports is because they have a genetic advantage, the supposed disproportionate number of minorities involved in violent crime is because they are genetically intellectually inferior.  None of it makes any sense.        


 :o  You're going to have to stop posting like this.
Pretty soon, you'll have me agreeing with you, ...and I don't think either of us wants that.  :-X
