Many threads have been started on the school shootings and I have commented on that as well, many times. My views on the animals that did that is common knowledge. But feel free to start another and I will comment.. again. But for now maybe we can stay on this subject.
As for " folk" that was just a nice way of saying black thugs.
So, since you feel that Chicago is not that bad, which city is? Detroit?, Baton Rouge?.. pick one. who is doing the crimes in the worst city?
Or we can take NYC since I know it pretty good, being that I grew up here and still live in the area. Here 76% of the violent crimes are committed by blacks although blacks represent only 21% of the total population in the city (5 boro's)
Without deferring this to some other group or incident, or pan the responsibility off to some government entity... how do you explain that?
In those school shooting threads did you ask about which 'folks' were doing it, I dont recall?
but thank you for once again interjecting race into the topic. AS a black female, I am so glad you can educate me about 'black thugs'.
Nowhere did I say Chicago is not 'that bad'. In fact, I only made the statement that it is not the 'worst'. Its kind of like saying a parent kidnapping their child is not the 'worst' crime (There are others like rape and assault I consider "WORSE" , get it?)
I dont have to explain who is committing crimes, most crime is intra racial(white on white and black on black) because people tend to vicitimize who they are around.
Did I call the shooter in the schools " folks" ?.. no I did not, know why.. because it was one person and he was killed or caught.. so everyone knew who it was. Do you call one person.. folks? And when I do say folks, it is because there are 1,000's of them.. not one lone shooter. Doesn't change the fact that I and everyone else on those threads called him for what he was.. a animal.. we never tried to deflect what he did.
And you could explain, but you won't.. because it is the same IN EVERY LARGE AND SMALL CITY. And it is black thugs... period.
I didnt deflect anything. You deflected from the simple topic of violence to 'black thugs'.
and I dont need to 'explain' why black people commit crimes anymore than you need to or have been asked to 'explain' why white people do.
this started out a thread on just violence in chicago, and slowly evolved into an excuse to critique and criticize black people.
when we had the threads on school shootings or mass shootings, I didnt see the racial experts chime in to point out who was doing what to whom though, I didnt see calls for us to be concerned about unstable 'crazy white kids', or some other racial derogatory description (like black thugs).
its fine if we are going to talk about violence, lets talk about it. Its what I was trying to do. But as a black woman, it gets old having people who are not black trying to debate with me about the 'problems' of 'black' people.
No deflection at all. When a topic is "Violence in Chicago" a logical question who be.. who is doing it. You see that as deflecting? asking who is doing it?
Really???
I see it as a normal question which is surely related to the topic.
Let me explain deflecting:
When a person is asked a point blank question and they change the subject.. entirely, ( i.e. you were asked who how you explain a 76% violent crime rate levied by a population of 21% and you answer with.. well, what about th white school shooters!, without answering the question).. that is deflecting
So I will leave it with this.
In Chicago, Baltimore, NYC, St. Lewis(s), Baton Rouge , Gary In. Newark, N.J. Camden N.J. Philly, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and most every other city big and small in the U.S. the majority of vast violent crimes are committed by black thugs.
Sorry, I know you hate to hear that, but the truth.. is the truth.
Regarding responses on school shooters:
In all the threads I have seen here on this subject.. everyone. Every single poster condemned what the sick animal had done.. every single person. No one deflected or tried to change the subject or tried to defend in any way, shape or form what had been done based on the color of the shooters skin.
And that is called..no agenda
Got to run now.. some work to do :)
and no one framed it as a 'white' problem either
in fact, it got framed as 'mental health' issue as opposed to targeting the race of the shooters ... what privilege, huh?
I wonder how many that embrace the 'mental health' frame for suburban shooters, could embrace the 'concentrated poverty' frame for urban shooters. They both have the same potential shoot down for those who prefer to blame race, after all,
plenty of mentally ill people dont shoot up schools, just like plenty of poor people dont shoot up urban streets.
no one here defended anything, so you can miss me with the bigoted sidetracks and questions.
