It's okay for liberals to cite the poverty of black people when calling for actions to alleviate that poverty. It's okay for liberals to assert that poverty causes crime when demanding welfare spending over anti-crime policies. And it's racist for anyone to suggest that maybe these two claims of liberals not only might both be true, but that they suggest a natural and-to-be expected higher crime rate for blacks, including a greater likelihood of coming into violent confrontations with the police.


This drives me crazy. Either ghetto neighborhoods are high crime areas or they are not. If poverty and marginalization forces ghetto residents to commit crimes, then why shouldn't police patrolling there expect to see criminal activity and behave accordingly?

What a well reasoned argument random thoughts - 08/08/2018 07:26:36 PM 324 Views
I didn't think I'd see you, of all people, using this particular argument. Cannoli - 06/08/2018 11:48:17 PM 340 Views
You're waaay to obsessed with Egwene, Cannoli. fionwe1987 - 07/08/2018 06:16:49 AM 298 Views
I don't wanna comment on this whole thing, or get into y'all's spat, but... TyrReborn - 07/08/2018 04:16:10 PM 292 Views
They were not innocents! fionwe1987 - 07/08/2018 04:25:54 PM 331 Views
Innocent is irrelevant. Disarmed is the pertinent qualifier. Cannoli - 08/08/2018 01:36:01 AM 314 Views
I'm not the one defending her actions while criticizing real people for doing less egregious things Cannoli - 08/08/2018 12:59:52 AM 307 Views
Isn't this pretty much par for the course, from the left? TyrReborn - 08/08/2018 05:21:45 AM 284 Views
Not to mention this whole issue involves unequal generalizations. Cannoli - 08/08/2018 08:01:45 AM 325 Views

Doesn't seem that way to me fionwe1987 - 07/08/2018 10:24:40 PM 303 Views
Why don't you prove that someone in the last thirty years was shot by cops ONLY for skin color? Cannoli - 08/08/2018 02:36:50 AM 272 Views
