Of course.... I would say that centuries of systematic discrimination in America led to decreased opportunity for most blacks, compared to other races. Less opportunity means less money which tends to lead to more crime.
I don't think there's anything inherent to any race that would predispose them to crime...but I do think that any child born into poverty is far more likely to remain poor, commit crimes, and have more children born into poverty--perpetuating the cycle.
Of course, it is possible for ANYONE to overcome difficult circumstances...but it'll be that much more difficult to achieve success. And I think, proportionally, more blacks are born into difficult situations than are whites. Hence the disproportionate crime rates between races
Poverty, racism are not the problem.
I will be agree with you if these crime comitted by black ppl were just stealing food to eat, or stealing book to read. But here we"re speaking about horrible crime, home invasion with rape and murder, white ppl shooting for fun, white ppl beating for fun.
How a smart and honest ppl can imagine one second that these horrible crime are the consequence of poverty ?
They are the consequence of savagery.
There is something really wrong with a small percentage of the black population, and its not the fault of white ppl.
My wife is from cabo verde, the country is number 167 on the worldwide grading. And they 're descendant from slave. ppl are black and really poor. I spent 3 week in cabo verde each year, there is no racism, no criminality. never in my life i've heard a cabo verdian speaking about slavery.
