Descartes wasn't talking about anything like that. He was establishing the bottom line for his philosophy. The meaning is .. "I am thinking this thought, therefore, I must exist.Comment

The stats actually show that even at higher income levels blacks are unfortunately committing crimes at a much higher rate, even than poor whites.Perhaps you are focusing on race when you should be focusing on poverty and inequality. What percentage of these perpetrators were living in poor, overcrowded urban areas with little access to public services.
Unless you are trying to make the argument that there is something inherent in black people that makes them more prone to criminality. I sincerely hope that's not what you are insinuating.
Your response?Comment

This is another off base reaction.
First, not all African ****** were sold, and it certainly didn't begin that way. There were certainly slave raids by Europeans. There was also resistance by African nations and tribes to selling ****** to Europeans.
It is true that African tribes did sell ****** to Europeans, and this was by and large done by coercion. "Either you bring me more ******, or you will be the next on that boat" was one way. The other way is by going to neighboring tribes and saying, "Hey, I just gave a shlt load of guns to your neighbors because they gave me ******. Have fun dealing with that. Or you can bring us some ****** and we'll give you some guns, too. What's it going to be?"
Finally, even when the importation of ****** was made illegal, it was still perpetuated by breeding ****** within the United States. There was no need to import ****** from Africa after awhile.
It's simple research.Comment

We're talking about averages lol. No one is saying white people don't commit violent crimes. It's just that when 2% of the population, black men between 18-40, is committing 50% of the total violent crime, that should be a huge issue for anyone, and we should be wondering why that is and what we can do about it.Comment

What stats are those? I don't see any stats presented and I don't see any relevant discussion about other factors that are involved.
Again, is it your argument that blacks are naturally more prone to criminality than others? You do realize how ridiculous that is, right?Comment
