Yea, most of the hate crimes are commited by white people as are most of the bomb scares (personally, i don't think the black people who would commit drastic crimes are smart enough to create bombs in the first place....but thats my opinion.) Rapes go both ways as far as who commits the most, it's actually kind of even. I'm sure in the north its even on both ends....but in the south you tend to see more african americans on TV committing the sorts of crimes I mentioned. The fact that people on GC are always mentioning stuff about white people doing this and that but never posting how african americans do horrible crimes if not worse, it kind of makes it look one sided. If you mention stuff about non white people then people think you're being racist. I was merely trying to "even" things out, if you will, in this post.

No ill feelings intended.

Oh, I get it now. I feel foolish. Cashmoney is just a professional bomb thrower and trouble maker.

You're good at your job, Cash.

Child molestation is not a violent crime? Or does it have to go this far
http://crime.about.com/b/a/163982.htm before it's considered violent?

Key words - south and tv. Do you really think that's the reality of the situation?

And you think creating a bomb is an indication of being "smart"?

Yes, sweetheart, I agree with you, ALL folks do some bucket wild isht in the criminal department...

What I find about your comments regarding the Central Florida's criminal element so abashing--simply because I have several family members, including my G-mom that lives in the hood in DAB across the street from Bethune Cookman College--means that your TV stations prop that crap up about crack addicts for TV ratings. Regardless if ACTUAL numbers do reflect an increased incidence of crimes committed by one group vs. another--ALL crimes must be judged fairly according to our judicial system...

Most crack addicts rob because 1) they smoke crack and it causes their brains to malfunction and 2) they support a crack habit and 3) because they can rob it out from there... They do not do it because somebody had a bad day in school today and no body likes them...

Whereas, some lunatic fringe child sex offender kills a cute and cuddily blonde headed white girl from her trailer park home does it because his crank addicted mother did not breast feed him enough, the tooth fairy only gave him $1 and he has no friends his age...

You do the math on the stereotypical statistics there...

I am not saying the AA don't commit any crime. I am not saying that there aren't bad criminal elements in the AA community... And I am not saying that your cops ain't like white on rice in the hood, either--whether or not AA are have actually committed the crime.

What I am saying is that not ALL AA's that come from the 'hood are criminals, which your post is saying to alot of people... And that is why some AA's move to the 'burbs to get away from that criminal element only to find another bad element that cuts deeper than an actual robbing, rape, theft or other violent crime...

Psychological hurt cuts really hard when you think you've arrived, you can afford whatever and then folks think you don't deserve to live there...

Actually, I have a couple who are VERY close to me. One is like an older brother. The older I get the more I realize how wrong he was on a lot of things. Not to mention he is one of the most irresponsible people I have ever known but is also one of my best friends. He was there for me to help when I literally hit rock bottom. And thanks to him I got out of a "rutt" that even my own parents couldn't help me out of. Basically I know he is a true friend of mine through and through and will ride till we die if need be. We've been friends for 7 years now ever since I met him at a UF football banquet in 1998 when he played free safety. And despite me coming from a racist family, not my parents but instead everyone else, he'll still be in my wedding if he's not the best man.

Did you ever smoke weed and watch COPS on Fox network in college? I have a feeling you did.

Yes, racism is allive and well. In In Shelby County, we have Memphis and the suburbs. A few years ago, Memphis annexed Hickory Hill (now called Hickory Hood by many). Hickory Hill used to be a mostly white suburb where crime is almost nonexistent to a part of the city where crime went up, more fights break out at schools and it's mostly black.

Also, the mayor of Memphis (who is black) wants to consolidate the city and the suburbs. However, the suburban mayors (all of them white) do not want annexation because of fear of high crimes, lower property values, and the degrading of schools.

Many people think that it is a racial issue with annexation. I agree halfway. It is a racial issue, but it's a money issue. Think about it. It the city and the suburbs consolidate, the city and the suburbs would save a lot of money because the county (suburbs) and the city are in debt. For instance, services are being cut back (i.e. the parks looking horrible).

If consolidation were to happen, then expect whites to move to Desoto County, Mississippi.

One more thing, on the news, they were talking about building a new high school in Southeast Shelby County. It would be at first a County School and then in the next years it would be a City School. Many black officials think that the new school would force a growing black student population diminish from the county school systems. County School offcials deny that.

Now on that, I have no comment.

Bottom line is, racism is everywhere. Whether is Memphis or Detroit or Los Angeles or Boston.

William Raspberry / Syndicated columnist

WASHINGTON — "There is a crisis of unprecedented magnitude in the black community, one that goes to the very heart of its survival. The black family is failing."

Quibble if you will about the "unprecedented magnitude" — slavery wasn't exactly a high point of African-American well-being. But there's no quarreling with the essence of the alarm sounded here last week by a gathering of Pentecostal clergy and the Seymour Institute for Advanced Christian Studies. What is happening to the black family in America is the sociological equivalent of global warming: easier to document than to reverse, inconsistent in its near-term effect — and disastrous in the long run.

Father absence is the bane of the black community, predisposing its children (boys especially, but increasingly girls as well) to school failure, criminal behavior and economic hardship — and to an intergenerational repetition of the grim cycle. The culprit, agreed the ministers (led by Boston's Rev. Eugene Rivers III, president of the Seymour Institute), is the decline of marriage.

The concern is not new. As Rivers noted at last week's news conference, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan sounded the alarm 40 years ago, only to be "condemned and pilloried as misinformed, malevolent, and even racist."

What is new is the understanding of how deep and wide is the reach of declining marriage — and the still-forming determination to do something about it.

When Moynihan first issued his controversial study, roughly a quarter of black babies were born out of wedlock; moreover, it was largely a low-income phenomenon. The proportion now tops two-thirds, with little prospect of decline, and has moved up the socioeconomic scale.

There have been two main explanations. At the low-income end, the disproportionate incarceration, unemployment and early death of black men make them unavailable for marriage. At the upper-income level, black women are far likelier than black men to complete high school, attend college and earn the professional credentials that would render them "eligible" for marriage.


Read the rest here: Healing the Black Family

In my parents neighborhood, there is one black family in their neighborhood. They were there before my parents moved there and they were one of two families that actually welcomed my parents to the neighborhood when my parents moved in to the neighborhood. They brought over fresh baked goodies (i.e. bread, cookies, etc.) and the other family brought over fresh blueberries.

Unfortunately, there is a KKK group in the town in which my parents live and we're all afraid for the black family in our neighborhood. Not only are we afraid for them but for the rest of the neighborhood because the neighborhood has an association. The association approves what kind of houses can be built in the neighborhood and puts a few restrictions on residents (the restrictions aren't Nazi restrictions but there are some rules). Of course, the association let them in and there's still people moving into the neighborhood. It's obvious no one cares if there are black people or what race you are (i.e. there's a Vietnamese family across the street from my parents) living in the neighborhood.

It's quite unfortunate people have to fear for their lives and property and families in the 21st century due to racism.
