It's like the great aunt who got into a car accident, lost her husband and wound up with a MASSIVE drinking problem. Years later the wounds have healed but she still has a drinking problem and nobody wants to be "that guy" that points it out. The family is just waiting for her to realize it and seek some help or take some responsibility for it and then maybe there can be a group effort to fix it. If someone DOES say something the aunt throws a fit and starts screaming about how she lost her husband and her life sucks and blah blah blah and the sympathetic cousins take her side and suddenly that guy has half a dozen people screaming at him. Except that the accident happened a long time ago and at some point you have to move on, as much as it sucked.

The paper (or any media outlet) doesn't want to point out the problem because they don't want to deal with the enormous backlash from the community for being "insensitive".

Yes, let's keep living in the past and ignore what's happening right now. How's that been working so far?





You too. Way to COMPLETELY miss the point.

Oh, and also nice little "lol racist inso0" jab at the end.

This is why a conversation will never happen. White guys like me or the ones in Washington can't solve the problems of black society. But it's uncomfortable to acknowledge there IS a problem, so instead we'll just keep pointing fingers at the people who dare bring up the topic and call them racist.

Oh, and we'll make stupid white guilt videos like the OP to bring awareness to how good the white man has it.

That'll solve everything. That's the ticket!
Hold up, when are you solving the problems of black society? You are just strolling in talking about how a small minority of a small minority of black people broke the law and that is evidence of...something.

I mean are you really trying to say the way to fix the problems of black society is to ignore the problems even exist? Everyone is openly acknowledging there is a problem, the ****ing video in the OP acknowledges there is a problem! Cite for how many people in the video in the OP are being called racist?

Re: It's unfair to be white ?

So the librul media conspiracy to not report black on white crime is nothing more than another manifestation of the great white guilt?

This is where you lose me. Who doesn't think a problem exists? The crime rate among blacks, low father rate, incarceration rate, who is acting as if these aren't real issues in the black community and everything is hunky dory?

The fact that 10 skinheads beating up a black guy gets covered differently in some paper than 10 black guys beating up a white guy is your reason for why we can't acknowledge these problems?

You're looking for a paper after a crime is committed to say "surprise surprise, it's a black guy!"
?

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth but it really seems that way when I read it. Just trying to clarify.

Any comments on this case Inso? 21 year old youth who shot up a house cos he got kicked out of a party in Milwaukee. I bet that reflects badly on his race. Right?

Riiiight, so if it's actually like one black person sitting around belly-aching while 50 of them try to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, your point still stands?

Silly nitty details.

Can you at least acknowledge you believe the ratio is 50-1 for no reason than you want to? Well either that or you get it from the black people you read about on city-data.

It certainly doesn't help that we're throwing black men in jail left and right for petty drug and other nonviolent crimes.

There is a shared responsibility here, but no actual sharing.

I would encourage any of you who think I'm full of **** to just spend a week observing a typical Milwaukee Public Schools classroom and seeing the interaction between students from different backgrounds, and especially the parent(s). Or hell, just talk to the kids themselves. Especially the younger ones who don't yet have a jaded filter.


*63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (U.S. Dept. Of Health/Census) -- five times the average.

*90 percent of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes -- 32 times the average.

*85 percent of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes -- 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)

*80 percent of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes -- 14 times the average. (Justice and Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)

*71 percent of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes -- Nine
times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

*75 percent of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes -- 10 times the average. (Rainbows for All God's Children)

*70 percent of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes -- 9 times the average. (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)

*85 percent of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes -- 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Dept. of Correction)



You don't think that's a problem?

Re: It's unfair to be white ?

Naw I think a bunch of people want to complain about "liberal guilt" and how you're not allowed to blame black people's inherent laziness for their poverty anymore.

Sorry I ruined your Black White Panther Party.

Re: It's unfair to be white ?

Inso, the funny thing is when I google your fatherlessness stuff above, I come up with a bunch of black websites, like BET: http://www.bet.com/news/national/201...her-s-day.html

Yeah fatherlessness sucks. Apparently the black community is very aware of it and at least some of them are working hard on the problem.

What exactly is your ****ing point again?
