    Black people

    A high percentage of our incarcerated are black. Blacks have higher crime rates than other races in the US. A high percentage of black people are on welfare. Blacks have among the lowest education scores across the nation.

    And on and on.

    So why is this? Is this purely racial - the black community owns this? Or has our society failed the black community. Alienated, segregated, discriminated against them? Denied them the real opportunities that whites have enjoyed for generations.

    Or a combination?

    There was a time when Irish committed the most crimes and were the largest prison population and the most to be executed.
    Then the italians took their turn, I think its more about economics, but I dont have all the answers. I arrested alot of everything and ive seen alot of everything arrested.

    It is a combination of things. The war on poverty and drugs set up the environment for cultural disintegration. I would say more but I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread seems to be yet or the value in me wasting time and emotion on it.

    Cannot have an honest conversation about how you feel about race because the left will call you a racist and the right will call you whatever they can make up at the time.

    I have my ideas but I am reluctant to come out and say them

    If it were localized to JUST America, I might be willing to believe that it is a societal problem,

    but the sad truth is that it is not.

    I don't believe that we have the knowledge, yet, to be able to pinpoint the factors,
    and in our current PC climate,
    I don't see that we'll have the opportunity to do extensive studies any time, soon.

    Johnsons great society, the war on drugs, law enforcement abuse, justice system abuse, etc. Probably some genetics involved, not due to them being black, but due to selective breeding during the slave era, massive breeding from the poor in the black community, etc.

    Blacks would probably be at or near whites in society if they weren't undercut. The fact that the average African American has an 85 IQ and not lower is quite incredible when you realize the factors working against them, and when you consider the $#@!ty schools they go to.

    'Multiculturalism' hasn't worked perfectly because the powers that be didn't want it to. It's actually been better than they anticipated, despite massive attempts to intentionally sabotage it.

    I would argue someone look at global interference in Africa before making that distinction about it not being localized.

    I think part of the issue stems from the soft bigotry of low expectations. Also, the indoctrination that everything is someone else's fault. Blacks do well in other cultures, why can't they here? They assimilate into other cultures, why not here? I've seen blacks from England, Puerto Rico, and Honduras. They don't consider themselves a different culture, they are English, Puerto Rican or Honduran. Only in America must everyone be defined by race instead of common culture. And who keeps us divided among these lines? Need I say it?
    It's the same people that MUST keep us at each other's throats for their political gain. It's the people that insist on seeing race in everything and that have poisoned the country from having an honest discussion on race relations. It is the people that feel that blacks, as well as other minorities, are unable to fend for themselves without nanny government's intervention that have created an entitlement and dependent mindset. It is evident in the mindset of liberals on this very forum that view any rational discussion of the problem as being racist. jillian, ravi, et al, will denounce this post as being racist because I disagree with their position that the white man, republican or conservative, is the root of all evil.
    We must hold everyone accountable for their own actions. The "whitey owes us" mentality must be eliminated. The "cultural bias" bull$#@! must be eliminated. This bull$#@! about a black kid being unable to pass a test because it's "culturally biased" is just so much crap. I'm not white. I'm Hispanic. I sat in those classes side by side with whites and blacks. I managed to pass those tests thru hard work and study. I was never held back by my own people criticizing me for trying to "act white". Asians pass, other cultures can pass the tests. Why not blacks? They are NOT stupid or inferior. They are held back by their own people and the victimhood culture they are taught and entrapped in.

    We will never solve this problem until we take off the blinders and take the hard and necessary steps to reverse or destroy the victimhood mentality. Let these people sink or swim without government intervention. It will be hard. On them and the children. Don't let them starve, but let them face the consequences of their actions. Drop the hyphenated American bull$#@!. We're either AMERICAN or we're not. I am NOT a Mexican-American. I am an AMERICAN. Period.
    Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.

    My IQ is quite high. IQ tests are written tests based off of the ability to understand the analogy that you can then extrapolate into another given analogy. You must have a baseline in order to do well on it.
