cynicom has repeatedly said that i must hate myself if i dont hate blacks. Sorry back at you. You choose not to acknowledge answers to your questions. Instead you prefer to attack, malign, mis-state, misconstrue because that's your way. You are either a provocateur or you are an hysteric. Either way I'm done with you and so are most other posters. Frankly you are rather trite and boring. Good luck trying to provoke, to incite when no one responds to your posts. One word will best describe your debating future on this political discussion board - "silence." Bye, bye.
"Silence is golden, golden, la ta da da da ..." ;-)

Who said anything about shooting Jews or exterminating Jews ?
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
I take issue with the anti black rhetoric on this thread liking blacks to monkeys and referring to blacks as niggers and now I'm against whites? In your small mind perhaps. It's a sad thing to see you rationalize hatred toward people who are a different color. I guess "christian" doesn't really mean loving others and the constitution doesn't really mean equality. It's a sad day when the people who pride themselves on seeing the state of affairs for what they are turn out to be the people who are all for race wars. Sickening.
Sorry to let you in on the well known fact that cyni accuses everyone who is not against blacks as being a white guilter.
Ouch! The Department of Justice victimization survey for 2005 has been posted on the DOJ website. To create these reports the DOJ surveys a massive segment of the US population to document crime trends. For years the reports have shown disturbing trends in Black crime, particularly Black on White Crime. The 2005 Report Shows… While Blacks make up 12% of the US population, they commit approximately 50% of all rapes, attempted rapes, and sexual assaults in the United States. Nearly 100% of all Black rape victims are raped by a Black. Over one third of all White rape victims are raped by a Black. Over half of all White rape victims are raped by a non-White in general. Another category dominated by Blacks is “Robbery with Injury.” Blacks committed a full two thirds of all robberies with an injury in cases where the race of the offender is known.
LOL! That struck my funny bone--hard! Thanks for the laugh.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. OK. I see that statistics show blacks to seem to have a higher (MUCH HIGHER) disproportionate percentage to crime and violent crime than other ethnic groups. Should ALL blacks be painted with the same brush?
makes a good argument for DEFENSIVE racism, does it not?

OK I'll read it.
Please remove the word all from further discussion since nobody I've read (except Os) use it. Now, since you've acknowledge the obvious, would you agree that a white who finds themselves in a ghetto is in a more dangerous place than if they were in a typical white area?
Nope. You are wrong. Cynicom has never made such an allegation about me and I am not "against blacks." I am against SOME blacks, the ones that Chris Rock calls niggas. But not all blacks are niggas. Some black people are good folks--there are both good and bad people in ALL groups. That is the position I have held for most of my life (in fact, the first friend I ever remember having when I was about three years old was a little black boy--and I only thought of him as a friend, not a "black friend").
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. vacuum the house once a week.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Yes. Do you agree that a black is also in a more dangerous place than if they were in a typical white area?
Yes, in some cases, but to a far, far lesser degree. Do you agree that if the kid in Pittsburgh were a black Obama supporter, we'd have another Tawana Brawley matter on our hands? And do you also agree that the MSM failure to mention the matter, despite Obama's campaign expressing sympathy, is censorship by omission?
FYI
I think many see it as a hoax. Yet is there plenty of MSM censorship and propaganda...you bet and none of it to benefit us.
Don't you think that what is being posted on this thread is offensive racism? I'll leave that to you for further contemplation. Certainly, the bigger threat is the goverment and the traitors in it.
Of course. Formality involves getting the thieves involved. No need to encumber a voluntary transaction with such trivialities.
The number of white on black attacks is negligible compared to both black on black attacks and black on white attacks.
My point was a black is safer in a whiter area.
Now the discussion is becoming interesting on a more intellectual and realistic level. Race in America is still a highly charged subject which gets avoided and treated with cliches on both sides of the issue. It is not quite as black and white as the extremes on either end want to paint it. One of the more intriguing, and illuminating, aspects of the debate is to disregard color for a moment and look at what other factors might come in to play. I recall one study and at least one other analysis I've looked at that brought out what I think is the most important factor (and it is not skin color): When you adjust the crime statistics for education level things begin to even out a bit. It is no secret that blacks on average have a lower education level than most whites, and that Asians have a higher education level that most whites. When you look at the crime numbers normed for education level the violent crime rates more closely correlate with education level. Most violent offenders and property crimes are committed by people with less than a High School education and frequently much less. Additionally performance on IQ tests, up to a point, correlate as well with education level. Which stands to reason - people who cannot read well, if at all, and cannot correctly understand the question cannot accurately answer it. (I like citing my father for this one - he was a poor country boy who quit school at the end of the 9th Grade to go to work during the last Depression. When he joined the Marine Corps at 17, during WWII, the test he was given said he had an IQ of 36. This in a man who later went on to become a Master at his Trade and a Flight Instructor on Sea Planes. The test it was later determined relied upon a vocabulary common to Urban Dwellers and thus was biased toward them and away from kids who grew up in any other environment.) Returning to my point - the general education level among poor blacks, based on more than one study, is generally lower than that among the general population of whites, BUT not poor whites. The crime levels among poor blacks and poor whites is actually much closer than the raw numbers suggest. Yes, blacks still have a higher crime rate in general, BUT they also have a much lower education level in general. The crime level among well educated blacks is pretty much the same as among well educated whites - pretty low. Education, literacy, level has a much better predictive value as to the propensity to violent crime. Further, inner-city skools are notorious for the poor quality and environment and have been since the 60's. The curriculum has been dumbed down and degraded, by intent, in all skools but nowhere as much as in the inner city ghettoes. It doesn't help that a poisonous culture has arisen that regards speaking correct English, and doing well in school, as "acting white" and having been given a negative connotation. However, again, looking at the other end of the spectrum Asian culture almost worships education and what do we have? A much lower crime rate. There is a simple solution to most violent crime. Reclaim the skools and install curriculums that actually result in literacy and some higher level of education. Literacy, not color, is a much better predictor of the propensity for crime.

A fair question to ask would be is one of those the causation of the other or are they both symptoms of some other underlying factor.
some, yes, but my perception is that most is defensive racism and the expressed outrage of the double standard. further, i don't see where Cyni or JT have ever written that they hate blacks or any other race as you keep accusing. Cyni has admitted that he is a racist because he PREFERS his own race and, JT, because of his experiences in Brooklyn, as a youth and as a NYC policeman has valid reasons for his preference. i'm sure you would agree that in today's PC culture, racial preference and the desire to preserve one's race/culture is encouraged and lauded for all races except white.

I don't know that I agree with that. Any solution imposed by government sounds like more of what got us in this mess to begin with.
excellent post, OI. i enjoyed the story about your father too. 36 IQ? ;)

A fair question to ask would be is one of those the causation of the other or are they both symptoms of some other underlying factor. Your question is good and valid. Certainly my little essay is not an exhaustive review and I would agree that there are other factors at play, but education does appear, in the numbers I've seen, to be one of the largest. Culture is certainly another, but culture as well is affected by education level. My argument is largely that the sources of the violent crime problem among all groups is not as much a factor of how dark one's suntan is, and the presumption that there is some inherent defect, but that data can be more rationally explored and examined for causes and factors which have little to do with melanin - which is nothing more than a biological adaptation for climate.

You are incorrect. Go to "Setup" and then to "Content Filters" That way, one need not apply passive-aggressiveness by pretending to be Miss Manners.

When entire generations of people have never lived any other way than through welfare and government largess the motivation to improve ones self and work hard will eventually be extinguished. The old axiom "whatever the government wants more of, they subsidize" applies to poverty just like anything else. There are entire generations of people in this country who have been taught by their parents how to live off of welfare. It seems unreasonable to expect someone who has been taught those values to have the same standards as someone who has worked for what they have.
That successive generations are involved supports the case that the policies have been dysgenic. While it may be unreasonable to blame someone who labors under a genetic disadvantage for their failure to live up to better standards, holding them to those standards is the only way to change the population genetics. Barring, that is, what population geneticists call a "bottleneck."
He pecks a few holes in a tree to see I agree, there is nothing inherently inferior about black skin. What I see as a major factor is the way in which government has been involved in shaping the culture of many black people. If allowed to develop naturally, their cultural would never have developed as it has. The undesirable attitudes and belief systems would have perished in the unforgiving fires of reality. For years, many people have been insulated from the consequences of their actions by government welfare.
Thank you. Yes, IQ of 36 per the Marine Corps test at the time. He also demonstrated astute survival skills - Marine Scout/Sniper (what is today called Special Forces) - 3 Purple Hears, Bronze Star (5 Awards), Legion of Merit, etc., .... That test did leave scars though as he never did really get over having been labeled an imbecile - which he most definitely was not. He was not the only one in that time period who was so, incorrectly, labeled and there were a lot of good kids adversely affected by faulty testing.

Jesus Christ, black culture explains nothing, as it is blacks who practice it! Blacks be dumb, and impulsive, on average, and for mostly genetic reasons.
He pecks a few holes in a tree to see I had to look up the definition of "dysgenic", but I agree. The welfare state has produced ingrained attitudes that are not conducive to orderly society. IMO, this serves as a perfect example of the perverse results of government intervention in society.
I don't know that I agree with that. Any solution imposed by government sounds like more of what got us in this mess to begin with. I am not a big fan of Goobermunt Skools either. When I say reclaim - it means WE have to take responsibility for it and take it back from the the FedGov and the deranged eugenicists/Psychiatrists running the dumbing down program. And it is an intentional program - see Charollote Iserbyt's Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.

Jesus Christ, black culture explains nothing, as it is blacks who practice it! Blacks be dumb, and impulsive, on average, and for mostly genetic reasons. And your proof of the "genetic theory" is? The answer is that there is none, zero, nada, zilch, squat, etc., .... Genetic links have been asserted and assumed to be true but there is no scientific evidence to support the conclusion. First it is based on a false premise i.e., that "man" is purely a material biologic creature i.e., animated soulless meat. There is no evidence which supports that either. The materialists for all their attempts to prove it cannot.

When you think about it, isn't all racism "defensive"? Fear and paranoia are defense reactions. Not necessarily appropriate in all circumstances, because they are conditioned deep into the human psyche. They are not reason and should be scrutinized at every occurrence. Not an easy task for those who do not engage in self-examination. This applies no matter what your color.

Jesus Christ, black culture explains nothing, as it is blacks who practice it! Blacks be dumb, and impulsive, on average, and for mostly genetic reasons. And your proof of the "genetic theory" is? I know I sound like a broken record but think about this; The amount of welfare a person receives is based in some part on how many dependents they have, which creates a perverse motivation to procreate while simultaneously insulating the person from the costs of procreating. As a result, many people with no motivation or work ethic have had many more children than they would otherwise have had while also driving up the price of children for those responsible enough to understand and bear the cost. While I don't believe that people are soul-less, I do believe that the species follows the rules of genetics like everything else with DNA and if you breed for certain characteristics, the traits become evident in the offspring. So after years of government welfare, I can understand why successive generation may become dumbed down.
Well stated and I agree unreservedly. One of the nastiest crimes ever committed against poor Americans, particularly Black and Hispanic, was WELFARE. A man, or woman, gains in self worth by "paying their own way" - when you deprive a person of that you deprive them of their own self worth. "The difference between an honorable man and a moral man is that an honorable man regrets a discreditable act even when it has worked and he is in no danger of being caught." ~ H. L. Mencken
I agree up to the point you bring in "genetics". Genetics has become one of those secular religions that "everybody knows" but for which there is little scientific proof. It is stated and asserted to the point people assume it to be true without evidence. I don't fault you for that as it is something that has been implanted heavily into our culture. I would simply ask that you put that to the question as you would any other matter upon which you think deeply. I think the Welfare Culture is just that a learned culture. I know when my father died, unexpectedly, my mother was thrown into turmoil in trying to figure out how to support the family. Welfare, because it was part of her upbringing and culture, was immediately rejected as a solution. However, as you point out we now have several generations that have known no other means of survival. They do what they have been taught is a survival path. Thus you have 16 year olds having babies so they can get their own apartment and a check. They then have more babies to increase the income stream. Further, since getting married would cut the checks out, and the Section 8 Apartment, they eschew marriage as nonsurvival. It is all rational in a perverse way. The kindest thing one could do for poor and black America is to cut the checks and demand that they go to work. Programs could be set up to ease the transition - primarily literacy, but it is a continuing cruelty to perpetuate the current system. This was all devised back in the 30's by such as Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mellon, etc., .... They were all eugenicists, as was the heavily subsidized pig Margaret Sanger - who was the one who came up with the idea of hiring educated blacks to act as Judas Goats, and were in thrall to the notion that by having money they were a genetically superior species. Eugenics is driving a lot of these government programs as is the faulty assumption that race determines worth.

Original_Intent: I don't believe that was Cyni's point. While I am loathe to tell other people what they think - as I interpreted Cyni's point it was more a matter of some White people who feel guilty for being white, and presumably more priveledged, and thus make excuses for minorities who violate civilized standards of behavior excusing under whatever rationale - often to the point of denigrating or rejecting their own group, excusing the behavior regardless of the crime, and thus the term "White Guilters".
