fredtoast Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 By far the most dangerous demographic in the United States is "men". The difference in crime rates between whites and blacks is nothing compared to the difference between men and women. Men are almost 300% more likely to commit a violent crime than women. Why aren't all you men out there doing something about the high crime rate among your fellow men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might not even be that we don't care. We do care. But we don't care as much and since the news is entirely based on market now black on black crime doesn't move the needle.

Most crimes are committed against family, peers, or neighbors. Those people typically share ethnicity. There's nothing that remarkable about it. Like those misquoted and misunderstood crime stats, the purpose is to imply that there's something inherently wrong with the people being oppressed so they deserve it.

I hope so too. That was my first thought. Protests are not supposed to be easy. It shouldnt surprise me because there are people out there so stupid we elected Trump, but I really dont get how people care about this at all. First, the flag has zero to do with the game. If you like football just ignore it. Second, if you are upset that a very small number of people are kneeling you are ignoring all of the players who are standing. Support them. Third, I keep hearing that they are just spoiled brats and make millions so they need to play. There is a whole lot of, you are a trained monkey (sorry for the racial connection) get up and entertain me and don't have thoughts. What utter nonsense this is. The fact that they are making millions and are in some cases who are distant from this police behavior but are still willing to speak out tells me they are incredibly brave. Fourth, the president fanning the flames of this is such utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
