My answer is they are not. Your answer was far more troubling.
Ever decide why you think something inherent in black folks makes them more violent/prone to crime?
I don't know why folks like you continuously get defensive about this when the history and its impact are pointed out here. No one is blaming YOU. Stop with the whiny white guy stuff.
But it is an undeniable fact that black folks are at a severe disadvantage to whites in the US in income, education and incarceration rates. You have two choices. You can either believe that is the long term impact of 250 years of Jim Crow and slavery, or you can believe it is something inherent in black folks or their leaders.
I go with the former.
And comparing the African American experience to the Latino or Asian experience? Typical white guy dodge. No No No No. Latinos and Asians were never SLAVES. They wer enever subjected to Jim Crow laws. For chrissakes it is those kind of stupid analogies that make it impossible to talk about race in this country.
It's not that black folks are inherently more violent, or that "black society" is inherently more violent. It's that we spent 200 years creating a poor underclass and then magically expected them to act "not poor" when we finally came ot our senses and realized it was wrong.
The right wing nutters comparing Bush v. Gore (note who sued who) to Trump claiming the election is rigged three weeks before it occurs are completely off their rockers. Not surprising of course that Larry has joined them.
