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?

Originally posted by Boxing1013 View PostI mean your own people sold your ancestors and you know that.
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.

Originally posted by Boxing1013 View PostThe stats actually show that even at higher income levels blacks are unfortunately committing crimes at a much higher rate, even than poor whites.
Your response?
Again, is it your argument that blacks are naturally more prone to criminality than others? You do realize how ridiculous that is, right?
