Not political, but I wanted the most people to see this.

They should throw this worthless thug to the concrete from 100 feet up. Sad.

Then he said it was a "dirty game"

Edit: I originally posted that this infant was thrown from a car, then changed it. After reading it again, that was the case.
Sometimes my eyes play tricks on me:)

No matter how you want to spin it or talk PC.. There is no hiding the fact that per capita blacks commit way more crimes then whites. Blacks are something like 80% of the prison population but only 30% or so of the overall population.

They also score lower on tests then whites. And I used to think it had to do with only economic factors (although that plays a role) Its not the only reason. Just look at all the thugs in the NBA, NFL etc... You can take the thug out the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out the thug.

Fortunately they were given citizenship rights, and the government can't "send" it's citizens across the ocean.

Freed slaves = poverty
Jim Crow = poverty
poverty = crime

Give it some time...black people were being sprayed with fire hoses 50 years ago. To think that kind of mistreatment doesn't have anything to do with the state of affairs today is stupid.

Many of the countries are poor, lack natural resources, and have been devastated by colonization. Let's stop talking about this, though. I've learned that arguing with a racist is like talking to a brick wall.

Personally, I think bad people are bad for quite a few reasons, and none of those include race. Upbringing (lack of parental guidance), the place they live in, the people they hang out with, ect. If what steven is saying is true, then one could make the argument that any race is basically"screwed up" based on the worst of them

I agree. In the case of many Black people in America, bad upbringing in bad neighborhoods around bad people can be attributed to this country's ugly racial history. It's improving, but it takes time.

They lack natural resoures? Africa is one of the most fertile and rich lands in the world. They do not utilize it. Plenty of oil, diamonds, gold and fertile farm land. Africa could be feeding the world. instead the world feeds it.

I have read books. The areas that were colonized and while they were colonized did very well under foriegn rule. When the natives were put back in control, either by force or just by the foriegn power leaving chaos ensued and they became poor third world places.

Africa has so much of the worlds resources yet its so poor and so underdeveloped. Why? They are also one of the oldest civilizations...

However europe which has far less resources then Africa is rich as can be. In every nation where black and whites live together Whites are the richest and blacks are in prison more so then whites.

You said decent black people are the minority of the race. That's not a fact or a number. It's a statement made by a racist.

Due to this country's ugly and recent racial history, there are a disproportionate amount of Black people living in dire poverty. That explains your prison stat. Believe me, there are FAR more poor whites in jail than rich whites. It's all about Economics.

Well how come in all the white trailer parks their are not drive bys? How come in the white poor areas, there are not murders every day almost like in south central? How come the ghettos of the blacks are far more brutal and violant then those of whites? I dont recall any white ghettos that are as feared and dangerous as those of the blacks.

Well, I get my minority conclusion based on the stats and the numbers. Prison stats, Crime stats, poverty stats. How come blacks are having such a hard time "coming up" When the Italians and other immigrants seem to do ok.. Hell even Illegal Mexicans live better then a lot of the blacks. That excuse about "we were slaves" is done. They have had for at least 2 generations every chance I have had to succeed. Fact is they dont want to. Theyd rather suck off uncle sams tit and breed and breed and continue the cycle. The numbers dont lie. Look at the teen pregency rate based on race. Its a shocker (at least not to anyone who is not afraid to point out the facts)

I've heard this argument and I'm sure you've heard mine (which involves slavery and jim crow), so I'm not going to bother making it.

Lets look at Hati.. Under the French it had a great future, then the blacks killed all the whites and look at it now. The only black nation in this side of the world and its also the poorest. Go figure.

In fact Hati was more productive then all 13 US colonies. It was The richest colony in the new world under the french. After the civil war (once france freed the slaves) the nation went to hell.

A similar thing happend to portugal. It was once the wealthiest nation in the world. Now it has one of the largest black populations in europe and it shows..

The invention of the gas mask predates Morgan's breathing device by several decades. Early versions were constructed by the Scottish chemist John Stenhouse in 1854 and the physicist John Tyndall in the 1870s, among many other inventors prior to World War I.

This Morgan guy is also wrongly "credited" with the traffic light...

The first known traffic signal appeared in London in 1868 near the Houses of Parliament. Designed by JP Knight, it featured two semaphore arms and two gas lamps. The earliest electric traffic lights include Lester Wire's two-color version set up in Salt Lake City circa 1912, James Hoge's system (US patent #1,251,666) installed in Cleveland by the American Traffic Signal Company in 1914, and William Potts' 4-way red-yellow-green lights introduced in Detroit beginning in 1920. New York City traffic towers began flashing three-color signals also in 1920.

Garrett Morgan's cross-shaped, crank-operated semaphore was not among the first half-hundred patented traffic signals, nor was it "automatic" as is sometimes claimed, nor did it play any part in the evolution of the modern traffic light.

How can you think that?

Everyday infants are born into horrible situations. Single teenage mom in poverty w/no education.....no dad around.....drugs everywhere....violence everywhere....living in a neighborhood where its better to be good at crime than good at school.....the list goes on and on.

To say this infant has the same opportunity as someone who is born into a middle-class family with both parents around and where education and hard work is valued is a bit disingenuous.

That teenage mom should of kept her legs shut. The infant should be taken away from her. And if not that child still has the same opputunity to not repeat his mothers mistake and to better himself. The public education system is free for this kid, he just has to take advantage of it.

Yes she should have. But she didn't and the infant will likely grow up and do the same because that's what s/he's been taught since birth. The kid isn't going to take advantage of the education system because he won't be taught to VALUE education.

I wasn't born valuing education and hard-work. It was instilled in me by my parents. Had my parents been dropout criminals, I'd probably value crime.

How do you know he isnt going to take advantage of it? It will be his choice if he does or not. So many kids even in middle class familes and rich families make the bad choice of not taking advantage of it. The difference maybe the culture of course and genetics.

I don't know. And you're right, some kids from good families go bad. But for the most part, people are the product of their environment. Most people learn their core values from their parents.

I find it unbelievable that you're saying a poor black kid with shitty parent(s) living in a rough neighborhood has the same chance at success as a kid with two college degreed parents in the suburbs.

Did not say same chance. Said same oppurtunities..

But what do you suggest we do to give them the same "chance" to make it "fair? ? How do we fix it.

Fine. Same opportunity.

If I knew how to fix it, I'd be out there doing it. All I'm trying to do here is point out that your "blacks are inherently flawed" argument is simple-minded nonsense.

The numbers and facts dont lie.

Im still trying to find a single successful "black" nation.

How can you think that?

Everyday infants are born into horrible situations. Single teenage mom in poverty w/no education.....no dad around.....drugs everywhere....violence everywhere....living in a neighborhood where its better to be good at crime than good at school.....the list goes on and on.

To say this infant has the same opportunity as someone who is born into a middle-class family with both parents around and where education and hard work is valued is a bit disingenuous.

I did not say it is easy for some based on their situation, but just because it better in that neighborhood to be good at crime than school does not change the fact that they had a CHOICE to make in which way they would go. IMO, that is a cop out.

Sure they have a choice. But they're taught that school is for fools and that crime is the best path for success. Given that this is what they're taught, the choice they make shouldn't come as a surprise.

People are not born valuing education and hard-work.

And whos fault is that? Again it all comes back to their culture. Its not anyone "holding them back"

It's their parent(s) fault because their parent(s) were raised in a similar environment. It's a nasty cycle.

I tend to think the people that grow up with issues is the result of the environment and culture surrounding them. This causes a tremendous psychological imbalance that has to be overcome in order to achieve the same that others achieve growing up in better situations.

Well some have the genetic code to make them want to be achieve more. Others their genetics make them more dormant.

This same gene can be found in liberals to. With all their wealth envy and such..

Sure it is.. We've still yet to find a successful black nation... Even those living in the most mineral rich areas of the world are hell holes. They are incapable of managing themselves.. Even blacks they grow up in the same enviroment score lower then whites on avg.

Liberals and their "wealth envy"??? You are rolling off one stereotype after another today, aren't you?!

Where I come from, it's the Liberals who are the more affluent, well educated and socially & environmentally conscious ones. Not all "liberals" are poor and envious of others money. :augentreher:

Since you are referring to me, I said that jokingly (note the smiley), just proving false someones point that ANY other tax system is better.

How can you make such broad stroke generalizations off a few people on a message board?

Because being a liberal myself I have many liberal friends. Its fairly common by the way most of them talk they have wealth envy.. Someone in that same thread said somthing about "About time those corporations paid somthing" etc.. Just look at the guy arguing with me about what walmart pays its employees.. that evil rich corporation doesnt pay enough...


Also judging by the votes the democrats make and the issues important to them "Tax the rich" etc.. Its not just from this message board. Its from all over.
