Not all %u201Cblack neighborhoods%u201D foster this type of misanthropic apathetic behavior, that%u2019s what makes the statement racist.

I live in a predominately black neighborhood, where most of my neighbors are homeowners, of which they take extremely good care of their property, it%u2019s the %u201Coutsiders%u201D, those blacks possessing this apathetic criminalistic behavior %u201Ccreeping%u201D into our neighborhood that are causing the problems.


I don%u2019t know if it is an unconscious need for some whites/blacks/Arabs/etc. to berate others, in order to circumvent their own belligerence and or inadequacies or it%u2019s some innate psychological flaw, because not all members of distinct ethnicities [African, Black, White, Asian, Arab, etc] depreciate themselves through character assassinations.


To make broad surreptitious statements that %u201Call black neighborhoods%u201D are flotsams of criminally negligent behavior and blacks themselves have an inherit propensity to violence, is an oversimplification, misrepresentation, and gross-exaggeration, particularly when Western/Eastern/Southern Europeans are the only ethnic %u201Ctribes%u201D that had/have conquered, annexed, and colonized territories beyond their own geographical %u201Cboundaries%u201D.

Japan has 337 people per KM and one of the lowest gun death rates in the world -- perhaps the lowest.

Moreover, Europeans are the only ethnic %u201Ctribes%u201D that has far-reached its authority through hegemony and imperialism onto other countries European [Poland, Russia, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Armenia, Afghanistan, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Yugoslavia, etc, etc.] and non-European thousands of miles beyond its borders [North/South America, Caribbean, India, Africa, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Australia, Oceania, New Zealand, Philippines, etc.etc.], where the destruction of human lives, as a result of wars and colonialism reached in the upper millions.

Discovery has a mini series on the CIA involvement in countries like Africa, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Guatemala [Bay of Pigs fiasco], Nicaragua, Cuba, South America, the Philippines, Egypt, Suez Canal, etc. etc., in which former CIA operatives disclose all the %u201Cdirty-little%u201D secrets.

One CIA operative, forgot his name, spoke boldly of his savagery against the Vietnamese, Laos, and Cambodians, as a matter of fact he candidly boasted of his %u201Ctrophies%u201D, a necklace made of %u201Chuman ears%u201D and went as far as to send a souvenir [necklace made of %u201Chuman ears%u201D] to one of his comrades.

Clean your own %u201Chouse%u201D first, before you dare speak/castigate about innate criminal behavior in others%u2026.

Drug laws people, drug laws! The contempt for law enforcement that breeds the "don't be a snitch" mentality is based in the racially biased anti-drug regime. The drug laws breed gangster culture that requires its employees to own and gratuitously use guns. If the police were out looking for murderers, intstead of running around tying to figure out who's getting high, people would be more inclined to cooperate with them.

[keithle1]

If you're not involved in the drug trade, you're chances of being shot/killed are slim.

Family members shoot family members all the time.

What is the murder rate in other countries that don't have anywhere near the guns that we do?
Last I heard you can't buy guns in a store in Japan, UK or Germany.

Is it racist to make the general statement that if you're in a black neighborhood you have more of a chance of being the victim of crime?

Well said craymo2!

"Washington D.C. has some of the strongest gun controls in the nation...it is also one of the murder capitals of the nation. Gun control DOES not work...it is being proven every where."

I've seen this strange logic before. It gets cause and effect totally jacked up.

It's the same logic as, "People with cancer are the ones who most often receive chemotherapy... They are also the ones who most often die of cancer... Chemotherapy DOES not work..."

It is the high crime rate in Washington DC, and the low one in the state of Vermont, that accounts for the stricter gun control laws in Washington DC.

The rate in Washington DC would be even worse if
it had the gun laws that Vermont has.

But I fear this little exercise in elementary reasoning has been wasted on the NRA crowd...

I also read that for young black males, guns are the leading cause of all deaths.

"In 1995, l in 12 students in a national survey reported carrying a firearm for fighting or self-defense at least once in the previous 30 days." (source: National Center of Injury Prevention and Control)

"Nearly 29% of those who died from firearm injuries in 1994 were 15 to 24 years old." (NC.IPC.)

"18-20 year olds commit over 23% of all gun murders." (United States Treasure and Justice Dept. Report 1999)

"Kids-10 to 24 years old- firearms are 2nd leading cause of death."

"US children are 12 times more likely to die by gunfire than children in 25 industrialized countries combined (source John Hopkins Center for gun policy and Research)

"...more things happen than what you read about. Your larger cities are a haven for terrorist cells because of your lax immigration policies..."

First off, my cousin is a cop so I hear more of what is going on than most. I am not talking about your everyday crime, I am talking about MAJOR incidents and when they happen, let me assure you that we do hear about them. Again, I didn't say we didn't have any crime. And I can assure you that spending a few weekends in Canada does not make you an authority on our crime and what goes on here. Your comment about the terrorist cells because of the lax immigration policies, I think you are thinking of your country. You are the ones with major terrorists cells because of your VERY lax immigration policies. Is there terrorist cells here? I have not doubt there probably is, but not to the extent you are talking about.

"I can also guarantee you that the quality of hospital care I can get where I live is much better than anywhere in Canada."

You would be wrong. I just got through reading an article on this website not long ago about the state of your hospitals and just how many of them were any good.I also read how patients have died waiting for care and how disgustingly dirty they were. I also read that if a person was homeless they took them and put them in a taxi and dropped them off on skid row. Yup, you have great hospitals alright!
