Mall Riots and Chicago Shootings

Step two unlocked.

None of us are making new arguments here, pointing that out is a red herring at best.

Yeah you're not.

Crime rates in immigrant black populations are a fraction of what they are in US born black populations. The immigrant black population has a higher rate of college degrees than the entire nation as a whole. Black immigrants start out in the same levels of poverty as US born black populations.

Pointing to poverty is bullshit.

There's a lot to be said for the cultural aspect imo. One of my past times is listening to a podcast that selects black street drama novels written by blacks, to narrate Really challenges your perceptions.

I keep forgetting, what exactly is the "crime rate" calculated on? Arrests and convictions, or just nebulous "criminal activity"?

I've been pull over a several times over the past decade; a few I was let off with a warning, a couple I was given a ticket. None involved a search of the vehicle. Tell me, do you think I still would've only gotten that much if my skin tone was any darker than "burn-in-direct-sun peachy"?

Arrests. You know... doing shit that gets you arrested. Like being black and going to school to try and improve your lot with the pell grants and shiet.

Crime rate is calculated on crimes committed. Keep it up with the driving while black bullshit, though. It's real compelling. Truly shows how strong your arguments are.

[TheReal_ND]

Now I have to remind everyone it is possible to get pulled over for driving while white in the ghetto. Meh. Tired arguments.

That couldn't be because immigration is often tied to having and keeping a job (or being in school), or good bye green card? Or you have to have a host family, or otherwise prove you aren't going to be a burden to be allowed to immigrate.

Like I said, immigration is a totally different issue.

Changing the subject is bullshit.

Yeah you're not.

Are you claiming to be a one in a million original thinker boss?
