Give me the stats based on income? I bet if you broke it down by race and income, you'd find similar rates of crime. Middle class and upper people rarely murder, join gangs, and generally don't have children out of wedlock. Seriously, leave your gated community and travel some in your state. You'll see the kind of people you despise in trailer parks, ghettos, and reservations. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If not culture, then what? 70% of all black kids are raised in single parent households. Blacks account for 52.5% of homicide offenders. The offending rate for blacks is almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Yet, blacks are 12.2% of the US population. What is your theory on why this is?

Yea, 8 years working the street and I need to get out more. No one breaks it down by income. That's fucking retarded. That'd be like saying "just look at the ones without a criminal history".

The numbers they put up are astounding by the standards of contemporary Western culture. Yep, it's fucking mind blowing man, if you sit and just let the numbers sink in. If we dig deeper into the "cultural" aspect of this.... Cambridge English Dictionary states that culture is, "the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time. Let's break that down, shall we? What is a way of life? - It's a term to describe the way a person lives. IE, their Films, Literature and Music. Lets see what we can discover on each of these subjects. The number one rated movie by an African american director in the last few decades was "12 Years a Slave". It's about a free black guy getting snapped up by white dudes and forced into slavery. That's followed pretty closely by "4 Little Girls", which is about whites bombing a black church in Alabama. Third is "Selma"... You get the idea. There are no demographic statistics regarding music Genres that include race. Literature. 54% of African Americans graduate from high school, compared to more than three quarters of white and Asian students. (clearly not a race thing) Only 14% of African American eighth graders score at or above the proficient level. So, I guess Literature isn't really important to their culture, huh? Somehow, black in the US manage to come in at the BOTTOM of the barrel in nearly every possible metric known to modern man. Clearly, though, it's not a culture thing, right? So, what is it then? Are you saying they're less intelligent than whites? Because I'm here to tell you that is not the case. Answer the fucking question. You can't say "this is not a cultural issue" in the same breath as saying you haven't got a fucking clue what the problem is. |

Everyone says black people make up 12 percent of the population and commit over half of violent crime, but that is only technically correct.
In all social and economic brackets the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by males. Same goes in the poor black population That Means you would Split the 12% number in half. Then, the vast majority of crime committed by black is in poor urban areas, so you would subtract black folks not in poor urban areas. I don't know what that percentage would be. |

>if not culture, then what
Everyone knows there are good guys and shitbags in every ethnicity; everyone outside the top 20% of society knows that the distribution of the two varies within ethnicities. Recent biology has shit all over the blank slate memes of the 1950s. Today we know that IQ is one of the strongest determinants of life outcome - more than parenting - and we also know IQ distributions vary in different genetic clines. Some groups have a 105 median, some have a 95 median, and calculated over large groups, it's a big difference. The model that evidence generates is heretical; but it's got a lot more predictive power than culture. It explains Nigerian success vs the "talented tenth" and the ghetto; and it maps eerily well to crime rates and their symmetry by group despite geographic differences. |

Quoted:
So, is Skrewdriver indicative of white culture? Because NWA has done that. White nationalists. Oddly enough, since they and bands like them don't get play on MTV, they're not well known outside their subculture, whereas NWA and other rap "groups" have left "black culture" and have become a part of American culture, especially as far as the rest of the world is concerned. |

"In the United States both scholars and the general public have been conditioned to viewing human races as natural and separate divisions within the human species based on visible physical differences. With the vast expansion of scientific knowledge in this century, however, it has become clear that human populations are not unambiguous, clearly demarcated, biologically distinct groups. Evidence from the analysis of genetics (e.g., DNA) indicates that most physical variation, about 94%, lies within so-called racial groups. Conventional geographic "racial" groupings differ from one another only in about 6% of their genes. This means that there is greater variation within "racial" groups than between them. In neighboring populations there is much overlapping of genes and their phenotypic (physical) expressions. Throughout history whenever different groups have come into contact, they have interbred. The continued sharing of genetic materials has maintained all of humankind as a single species.
Physical variations in any given trait tend to occur gradually rather than abruptly over geographic areas. And because physical traits are inherited independently of one another, knowing the range of one trait does not predict the presence of others. For example, skin color varies largely from light in the temperate areas in the north to dark in the tropical areas in the south; its intensity is not related to nose shape or hair texture. Dark skin may be associated with frizzy or kinky hair or curly or wavy or straight hair, all of which are found among different indigenous peoples in tropical regions. These facts render any attempt to establish lines of division among biological populations both arbitrary and subjective." The conclusion; "How people have been accepted and treated within the context of a given society or culture has a direct impact on how they perform in that society. The "racial" worldview was invented to assign some groups to perpetual low status, while others were permitted access to privilege, power, and wealth. The tragedy in the United States has been that the policies and practices stemming from this worldview succeeded all too well in constructing unequal populations among Europeans, Native Americans, and peoples of African descent. Given what we know about the capacity of normal humans to achieve and function within any culture, we conclude that present-day inequalities between so-called "racial" groups are not consequences of their biological inheritance but products of historical and contemporary social, economic, educational, and political circumstances." |
