....no comment
(I'm VERY surprised this would be a topic of discussion....2018!!)

Sorry to ruin your delusion but your reply was a comment.
Just like 'no answer' is an answer.

Very correct, you are, I did make a comment. I did not make a comment on the subject, which is what the 'No comment' was for.
I am now wondering 2 things about myself, why would I feel I need to explain something that would seem so obvious.
Secondly, why would I think someone who I would have to explain the no comment, comment and point out the lack of comment on the subject matter, would understand even after?

I misjudged the title of this discussion, for that I greatly apologize. I love the idea and the reality of being discussed in the open. The only way to fight racism is to discuss it (against anyone-as time has proven, we have all been secluded, violated and killed due to it).

I have to jump off for a bit but will return this evening.

Thanks






At this point I don't know if it is me or your that is generalizing.
But never generalize.
Look at the world... Please, which politician aren't in it to fill their own pockets... I know, now I'm generalizing, but am I wrong?
Name me just ONE country in this world where the politicians aren't doing just that at some extend, please.

I agree. People can be corrupt. People can be ambitious. People can also try to make a difference. It is not the career, it is the human. And in every field (from politics to real estate) there are corrupt individuals, but likewise there are individuals who are not.


but back onto loving each other .... lovely suggestion Von.

EVERY city in america is NOT like Chicago... not close.

and EVERY city in america is also not coping with 'gang' problems. Some have meth problems, some have problems with other drugs, some dont have much violence at all. and the correlation throughout the world, eVEN STRONGER than any racial component is, the socio ecnomic one, which correlates strongly the the history of that area.

In most places, it will be consistent that those in the most abject or concentrated poverty TEND to be victims of violence or suspects in violence in higher proportion. So if we are going to not like something, maybe it should start being economic inequality and poverty.

just a thought.

Getting back to the original topic . . .

Thanks guy from Denmark

Can you tell e one large city in the U.S. that does NOT have a thug gang problem.?
I know I know..it's not the people..it's society ...right ...that excuse is really getting lame

My question was to those outside the U.S. because my thought pattern is the crime and related issues are not just a American thing and they are carbon copied in other countries .
Then what is the excuse?..society in every country ?

and in order to really know the challenges faced in America one would have to experience it. Right?
Denmark has a total population of 6 million with a extremely small amount of black residents ..extremely small
They don't have the same crime rate affiliated with one ethnic group that we do so they can't possible relate. How could they?.,how can you relate to something you don't live?

Their problem seems to be Muslim folks .. from what I read

lol... now its LARGE city, before it was only EVERY city in America.

how large is considered large, for purposes of this discussion?

And I would think its logical to say anywhere there are humans in the world, particularly a whole COUNTRY full there is 'crime and related issues'. I would also think its logical to say the highest density of those problems are in places with the highest CONCENTRATED poverty(that is poor people stacked on poor people in one area, for the sake of this argument), as well as the poorest connection to job opportunities or upward mobility, or competitive education


and THOSE areas will be historically traced to the people who have HISTORICALLY been on the piss poor end of economic inequality ...


in AMerica, it happens to be blacks who demographically live in areas of the most CONCENTRATED poverty, with the fewest resources, least access to living wage employment, and least access to competitive education.

BUT the good news is MOST blacks are not criminals and MOST in concentrated poverty aren't either. So MOST find ways to overcome the additional obstacles to avoid crime, but SOME get tripped up and fall right into it instead.

it doesnt matter if the 'problem' is race or crime, every country has both. and the trends will be pretty transferrable regardless of size.

the 'race' or demographic found to have the most economic disparity and longest historical socioeconomic oppression, will tend to be the demographic most likely to be found in conditions primed for crime, which again, correlate with

Concentrated Poverty
Poor access to living wages or upward mobility
poor educational quality
AS well as in areas where there is little resource put into maintaining the buildings or communities.



whatever the size of the country, I would gamble this same thing to be true.

so again, people should dislike the poverty and conditions, not the people who are most subject to them.

So how come nobody is posting any pics of sexy hot black chics?

I am game.
