"Ghetto Black People Are To Blame."

This video from Youtuber Zarria Simmons hit my feed, and I couldn't agree more with her takes on black American Culture.  Let's watch and react.

Worth the 19 minute watch.

She’s Right: Black American Culture is Dying. Ghetto Black People Are to Blame.

100% agreed. I've eluded to just that a lot in my time here.

You can see it across this board and the opinions and views held by many members whose only interaction with black people is the internet and news media. So many here think ghetto culture=black culture and that couldn't be more wrong. But hey it gets a lot of clicks from both sides, so the media loves to prop up ghetto culture in the news.

Before people claim the stats of 13/50 blah blah, blah, they also have to realize it's more like 1/50 and that is due largely to liberal DAs and recidivism of violent criminals in the inner cities.

The depressing thing is that, at least, according to statistics;

https://racism.org/articles/law-and-justice/criminal-justice-and-racism/137-prison-industrial-complex/10985-the-court-of
African Americans make up about a third of the people incarcerated, even though they are 13.4 percent of the U.S. population. One third of Black men have at least one felony conviction. Black adults are more than five times more likely to be incarcerated than white adults. And here, too, the national averages, as shocking as they are, are smoothing out even more alarming statistics in some communities. In the District of Columbia, for example, more than 75 percent of Black men can expect to be incarcerated at some point during their lives. 75 percent! At our current pace, almost one out of three Black men in the country can expect to be incarcerated during his lifetime compared to six percent of white men.


https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/who-suffers-the-most-crime-wave
The true size of the problem is made starker when we consider that African Americans make up only 14.2% of the total population (including multiracial populations who identify as black “in combination” with another race), but 32.7% of all violent crime victims and 54.4% of homicide victims. Thus, these small percentages represent an enormous problem that, for black people, is getting worse, both in relative and absolute terms.


I could go on. Just a heads up. I was a member of "The High Road", when I caught a perm ban from the site for saying exactly what I am saying now. Evidentially, pointing out the trends in the early 2000s was labelled racist hate and I was kicked off the site for it.

Truth is an offense now.

That's the point.  "They" don't.  A certain subset of a subset of "them" glorify that shit.  And it's being amplified by the "if it bleeds it leads" media.   And it's being subsidized by the "soft bigotry of low expectations" Democrat party.

You’re both right, the Great Society and LBJ are the real reasons for what ghetto culture has become today. The black ghetto has existed since reconstruction however the glorification of it and societal appeal by modern blacks is her point. Driving a stake in the heart of the nuclear black family was the undoing but we’re seeing that grow in the white community as well.

Ghetto is one of those words that used to be widely used but went on to mean other things.  There used to be Irish, Italian, Polish, Jewish and Black ghettos in most major cities where people lived with other people like themselves.

Black ghettos in the 1960s had nowhere near the issues today.  Families lived with a mother and father who had jobs and raised children with christian values.  This was destroyed by welfare and drugs.  Welfare destroyed the family by making incentives for women to raise children without a father.  Men were turned out from the family as less competitive than government money and a reason not to collect.  They turned to alcohol and drugs.  Generations of fatherless children grew up with no discipline, direction or role and fed into the drug and gang culture.

LBJ and the Democratic party was the father of this.

Absolutely right....More and more blacks are waking up to this and seeing it but is it enough to change course within a generation or two? More blacks need to read Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas and Walter Williams than listen to the dredge of Tupac, Snoop and what not.

I’ve seen too many vastly wealthy blacks (think LeBron & Oprah),black community leaders & black politicians cry about white privilege, racism in America & reparations to believe for one second that black Americans problems begin & end in the ghetto.

They have made victimhood & a steadfast refusal to accept personal responsibility part & parcel of their culture. Until that changes nothing else will.

Nuance is hard.

In order to be truly informative, we would need to see statistics on incarceration rates and sentencing based on a per-perpetrator basis. Share of the population is meaningless if groups offend at different rates. What those reports cited above fail to cover is, do white violent crime offenders receive lighter sentences than black violent crime offenders (taking serial offenses into account)? Do white violent crime offenders get convicted at lower rates than black violent crime offenders?  These statistics are never mentioned in the reports.

A couple years ago there was a report in the Madison news about how black students were getting suspended at higher rates than other groups. The media reported the school district's report pretty much verbatim and did NO investigating. I reached out to the reporter and asked if the district had info on whether offender rates were different or if socio-economic differences were considered. The answer was, no, other relevant data was excluded from the report. Nobody wants to really understand the issues, they just want it to be about racism.

ETA - there may be a slight bias for or against blacks in the criminal justice system, but since we never see the actually relevant data, it's impossible to say for sure. What Heritage & Racism.org focus on is the most stark, attention-grabbing sound bites they can find, relevance be damned. Also, Amala is hot.

While true, that really denies reality.  Look at the percentages of black males who are convicted felons?  
That is not a tiny percentage.
Now I would agree that a tiny bit of that comes from cultural stupidity, not all.
As an example, I remember seeing someone talking to college students about systemic racism in America.
This one lady said, "Just look at all the Blacks arrested for MJ.  Yet, while people are out there bragging about having MJ parties all the time."
I thought, that is a perfect example.  Yeah, white people have MJ parties, but guess where you have them?  IN A HOUSE!  And where do the police patrol?  Not in a house, in cars on the street.  Blacks are driving around smoking, generally in fairly beat up cars (more often and whites).  Gee, that is not systemic racism, that is cultural stupidity.


Which all leads back to the near-elimination of the two-parent family among black households, and the lack of child rearing that comes from absentee fathers and mothers that are so busy simply putting food on the table they don't have time be proper mothers.  It leaves children to be reared by the racist media and racist Democrat government agencies.  

When a child is reared by social media, don't be surprised if that child grows up with a distorted view of real life.

And those children have other children, who have other children, and NONE of them get what I would consider a proper upbringing

I could go on. Just a heads up. I was a member of "The High Road", when I caught a perm ban from the site for saying exactly what I am saying now. Evidentially, pointing out the trends in the early 2000s was labelled racist hate and I was kicked off the site for it.

Truth is an offense now.

https://racism.org/articles/law-and-justice/criminal-justice-and-racism/137-prison-industrial-complex/10985-the-court-of
African Americans make up about a third of the people incarcerated, even though they are 13.4 percent of the U.S. population. One third of Black men have at least one felony conviction. Black adults are more than five times more likely to be incarcerated than white adults. And here, too, the national averages, as shocking as they are, are smoothing out even more alarming statistics in some communities. In the District of Columbia, for example, more than 75 percent of Black men can expect to be incarcerated at some point during their lives. 75 percent! At our current pace, almost one out of three Black men in the country can expect to be incarcerated during his lifetime compared to six percent of white men.


https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/who-suffers-the-most-crime-wave
The true size of the problem is made starker when we consider that African Americans make up only 14.2% of the total population (including multiracial populations who identify as black "in combination" with another race), but 32.7% of all violent crime victims and 54.4% of homicide victims. Thus, these small percentages represent an enormous problem that, for black people, is getting worse, both in relative and absolute terms.

People catch bans because these threads often turn into it being because they are black and using that statistic as your evidence.  Look at the statistics of black people who live in  not ghetto shit holes and they get the same.averages as the general population.   The problem has never been black it has always been poverty and inner city gang culture.  Largely created by the drug war and criminal markets that come from it  America likes drugs and if you are born in a place where the easiest paths to wealth are all criminal and your father is in jail you are likely to continue the cycle.   The gang culture created to control inner city drug markets spreads to all black people in poverty as "black culture". Even though any white or brown person in those inner city hoods does the same.shit.

This is 100% true. They are ashamed of it, and openly so.

You can see it across this board and the opinions and views held by many members whose only interaction with black people is the internet and news media. So many here think ghetto culture=black culture and that couldn't be more wrong. But hey it gets a lot of clicks from both sides, so the media loves to prop up ghetto culture in the news.

Before people claim the stats of 13/50 blah blah, blah, they also have to realize it's more like 1/50 and that is due largely to liberal DAs and recidivism of violent criminals in the inner cities.

Correction to the title and I follow her as well. New title should say “…Culture is Dead”.

This.  Pandering and placating is easier than addressing a blatant problem.

It’s not surprising to me that people actually believe what you’re saying. The data however, do not support it.

Race is the single most reliable predictor of violent crime, and it transcends socioeconomic status or education.
