What do you do?

All I have is my own anecdotal experiences and subjective impressions, but I've never had a black or hispanic person accost, assault, or otherwise criminally inconvenience me (unless I was working in as a uniformed LEO and/or security guard) when my race wasn't clearly the chief motivator. (Except in foreign countries in which case my nationality was the issue.)


American is the new white.
 
Wrong is wrong, so why introduce a comparative discussion of degree or duration of oppression?

There are certainly various levels of "wrong". Stealing a candy bar is not nearly as wrong as kidnapping and rape. That being said, that point of introducing that was to call to attention how innane it is to complain about being called a "breeder" when no one is going to beat him up for being straight while many people have indeed been physically assaulted due solely to their sexual orientation.
 
Most of the crimes commited by blacks against whites are because of income differences???????:confused:
Redworm, you really must get away from the tv and that concrete fortification you must live in and join the real world.:rolleyes:
 
Perhaps I should clarify. Income differences = I ain't got no money, he looks like he has money so I'm gonna take his money.

So yes.

Concrete fortification?

OK. I call BS. RedWorm, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm siding with the concrete fornication faction.
 
:confused:

Am I missing something? Are most individual crimes in general not crimes where a theft is involved? Either a robbery, mugging, burglary, carjacking, etc most crimes overall involve a theft of some sort.

Why are things stolen? Because there's an income (or rather, asset) difference between the victim and criminal and the criminal decides to simply take what he wants. Perhaps "income difference" was not the best terminology but the point remains that "black on white" crime is more often commited for monetary reasons as opposed to racial reasons.

And what the frak does that even mean, am I having sex with a skyscraper somehow??
 
I don't know about crimes being committed because of income differences, but obviously few millionaires mug people. A few may get rich by crooked or questionable business deals, however, or by exploiting the gullible masses.

Most regular criminals prefer crime to honest work, which can be hard, boring, and not as well paid per hour as mugging, carjacking, or burglary.

on another subject:
Leftists enabled the rise of Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao, Fidel Castro and, currently, they're loving their new leader-becoming-dictator, Hugo Chavez.

Yeah, and Hitler was a right-wing fascist who came to power spouting "God and country" nationalism, as was Franco, Pinochet, and whoever controlled the el Salvador death squads that murdered those nuns. There are evil autocrats of all political persuasions.
 
We were talking about hate crimes. Money is not the motive for hate crimes. So, the data needs a little analysis, that's true. But you'll get the same trend, I think, even if you account for the financial motive.


Murder - hate crime
Rape - hate crime
Assault - hate crime

Auto theft - not hate crime
Burglary - not hate crime
Robbery - if not aggravated, not hate crime

Not necessarily, I was referring to all crimes. I made the distinction between "black-on-white" hate crimes and "black-on-white" regular crime. Murder is not a "hate crime" by legal definition unless the motive for that homicide is determined to be racial in nature. And no, a white guy killing a black guy is not automatically listed as a hate crime. There's always a reason to suspect that the motive is based on race.
 
OK. I got lost when we switched from hate crimes to all crimes. Pre-screen the data to get rid of embezzling and dancing with a mailman. Then you've got crimes motivated by hate and a desire to hurt. Is it racially motivated? Hard to prove in some cases, but when it trends so conspicuously in one direction, that means something.
