I know, it's great. A lot has been done for equality. Not just the NAACP but billions of dollars spent by the government, laws have been passed, agencies created, marches have been marched to help blacks. But why do we still have rioting,looting in the streets. highest murder crime rate, lowest job rate among blacks, more blacks on subsidies than any other ethnicity? Whats up with that?

the same reason we have always had rioting, looting, or any other crimes in america.. because america , like any other country has criminals

murder crime rate is a result of our american culture(wild west, and drug use, paranoia,,depression, desperation,,etcc,,)

the job rate has changed as much as anyone elses,, but the disparity has remained the same

subsidies are the lingering result of historical socioeconomic disparity and policy of segregation, white flight, and redlining,,,

Cultures become more civil over time too. Different cultures have had to overcome such hardships and worse too.It seems the black culture is doing just the opposite. In spite of the massive aid they have been given.

Harmony, I agree with you for the most part but I wouldn't be so fast to agree that all these problems are statistically dominated by blacks. A lot has changed since the 90s or even the last decade and I'm almost certain the census does not accurately reflect the population in regards to race or numbers.
Since the government sold the prison system and it is now on the stock market I wouldn't have too much faith in their reporting either, not that they would answer to anyone who isn't a shareholder to begin with.

seems TO YOU,,,,

black culture in america has had a unique experience in AMERICA

took nearly three hundred years for the oppressors to learn to be 'civilized'

that only came to some legally binding change in the past fifty years,,,along with it small progress, but still much needing to be done. by my count,, we still got 250 some years before we should start worrying about not becoming 'civilized' fast enough..

And you were there way back 350 years ago? That was then and now is now. Some people are still traumatized I know. Things change.
You can make it or break it now. Just seems they want to break it.
IMHO.

Too bad blacks have the exact same oppurtunites all Americans have now. I got news for you, slavery has been over for a long time......and yet, its still used as an excuse.
Depsite only making up abt 13% of the U.S. population, African Americans accounted for 52% of all murders, 31% of all rapes, 56% of all robberies, and 33% of all aggravated assaults in 2013.

African Americans graduate high school at a rate of only 69%....

"" Graduation rates vary greatly by state
and race. Nationwide, black students
graduated at a rate of 69 percent;
Hispanics graduated at 73 percent;
whites graduated at a rate of 86 percent.""

64% of African American children are raised in single parent homes.

Why is that important?

"" Children in single-parent families are far more
likely to grow up in low-income households
than those living with two parents. They are at
greater risk of low academic performance and
behavioral problems and may experience
parental conflict and residential instability as
well.""

But its so much harder to actually look in the mirror and see that maybe they are to blame for most of their issues.. African Americans arent owed anything. They are born with an oppurtunity to go to school, get an education, work hard, and make a good life for themselves. If they....or hell, anyone of ANY race squanders that, its on THEM...and they shouldnt expect anyone to rescue them. Hell, its a slap in the face to the plethora of African Americans who DO do the right thing, make good life decisions, and prosper.

According to most pundits, statistics, and
general thought the biggest factor is the
single parent/unwed mother with multiple
children in an urban area. Peer pressure is
extreme against education and authority.
While most mothers instinctively want the
best for their children, the lack of a good
father figure leaves and indelible mark. Peer
pressure creates gangs, crime, drugs, and
attitudes.

perhaps its just much easier to point fingers
and blame instead of sharing responsibility

noone has said that black people dont have
work to do amongst black people here,,

and no, slavery is not an 'excuse' for anything,
it is a logical assessment of where we are by
understanding where we came from

when people try to imply blacks have some
inferior cultural or moral value by asking
questions about the differences in
demographics when it comes to crime, or
education, or even health,,

you cant ask people to race a 200 mile race,
give them a flat tire for the first 150

and the fact that there are many who are
BETTER Than(and you have to be better than
those starting with four good wheels to catch
up or surpass them)

and when we are talking DEMOGRAPHICS

Tell that to Tamir Rice Treyvon Martin and Michael Brown's
