Yep welcome back. We're due for a good re-balancing.

I wish this would spread out into the world. Things are way out of balance.

...oh, and I’m back on the prowl.

You missed much of the usual...foszoe has been carrying your banner since you've been gone.












Oh, and Alpo is now a republican.

Two things:
Perception can sometimes lead to a self-fulfilling result.
Perception, or what you think generally about group, should not dictate how one responds to the individual.

...oh, and I’m back on the prowl.

Welcome back. Hope your mom is doing well.

Well. Maybe RIT. (Republican In Training)

Oh, and Alpo is now a republican.

I've noticed a lot less hemp and rainbows from the Alpo faction these days. I had assumed he was just trying to avoid the gas chambers from the Cornavirus thread.

He's still not to be trusted...

No....he is not.

I think I'm gonna hold out for one of those Aluminists NKBJ is talking about. Have to start a GoFundMe page though. I don't have a $Billion ... yet.

Dammit I'm too slow.

I'm sure you were thinking, oh, ****. I better correct that before jamil gets old of it.

Outta my way, sonny.

I don't know what NKBJ means on this forum, but the urban dictionary definition is almost enough to make me switch political affiliations if that's what you're talking about...

Not from you personally of course, but I'd like to meet those sort of alumni.

I think it has to do with their lodge hats.

That’s reflective of circumstances they by themselves did not create collectively. The crime is a result of a many factors. Poverty in proximity to wealth creates pockets of crime, especially violent crime. The Gini Index, an index that measures income inequality, has been shown to be about the best predictor of violent crime in a given area. Many US cities have Gini indexes similar to the 3rd world countries with some of the highest crime rates. Another factor is the welfare state of dependency. It fosters a sense of entitlement and incentivizes fatherless homes. Democrat programs have largely created some cultural norms that perpetuates those problems.

The fatherless problem creates many of those disadvantages in itself. Many cultures value reputation and that’s usually a good thing. It incentivizes hard work, honesty, and pride in one’s work. But if not tempered by discipline it fosters a dangerous attitude of demanding unearned respect. Most of these inner city shootings aren’t drug deals gone bad or turf wars between rival gangs as much as it is about disputes over respect between individuals.

It isn’t just a “black” thing. You’ll find that the black crime statistics closely correlates with poverty rates among black people. A higher percentage of black people live in poverty compared with white people. Is that due to heritable characteristics in black people? That’s absurd. Look at black people around the world and you’ll find a lot of diversity among them. Most of the problems are environmental.

I stopped reading after you mentioned poverty.

My grandfather was raised with 4 other kids in a 6x12ft concrete block house with some tarps over the top. They survived off having some chickens and the tiny amount of money they could bring in. They didn't have indoor plumbing or electricity. (P.S. that structure is still standing and I could show you if you don't believe me.)

None of them went out and became criminals. None of them dealt drugs, none of them turned to crime. They didn't even turn to government assistance.

It is not a poverty issue, at all. I'd wager most of these "impoverished" people you're talking about have electricity, plumbing, and an actual house. They may even be wealthy enough to own a TV and a refrigerator. I see many on expensive luxury phones that cost more than the mortgage payment for this house.

If the crux of your argument is that they're jealous because they see people with more money than them, that is a cultural problem, not a poverty problem.

Right. That poverty excuse thing is more of a libtard rationalization story.

"BOOM".....The myth is exploded.

Spend a bit of time down in section "8" ville if you want the real scoop and a slice of the truth. Be ready as you might not like the reality it exposes. 95% of the Progressive hype is and the MSM is reading from prepared scripts. Yes I have done my time in and around those areas. There are some stellar people to be found. I have made some fair acquaintances from my work. But right next door and just down the block and across the street...…..Well, you already know.

Maybe you should have kept reading.

 

[foszoe]

you must be a white guy.

This is an irrational fear. If there is not one already, this should be listed as a phobia.

 

[jamil]

you must be a white guy.

WTF has that to do with anything?

So what exactly are you guys saying?
