Controversial thread following. If you are sensitive to racial issues I suggest you skip this thread.



I get a lot of my news from the internet. Youtube, news channels, etc. provide me with a lot of current info and it’s up to me if I want to watch/listen to it or not and after watching it it’s up to me to add a value to it. Or not.

One thing I’ve seen a lot of are the videos and news stories about crime. Smash and grabs, car jackings, armed robberies and that ilk.

The videos seem to accurately portray the action; it’s difficult to misrepresent what is recorded on body cameras worn by the police and the dash cams in their cars or by citizens recording with their cell phones. Those incidents are often also reported by local news stations and, again, they are reporting on what they see on the videos.

When the reporting is done they all seem to avoid mentioning one major thing and that becomes the 800 pound gorilla in the room. That unmentionable issue is race. The race of the criminals, and the race almost always seems to be black.

Have we, as a nation, become afraid to mention the race of the perp? Are we so afraid of BLM and similar organizations that we cannot report the race of the bad guy?

I’m not suggesting that we go overboard to single out a certain race, that in itself is obvious in the videos. I’m just wondering why if we’re reporting the news and wanting to make it as accurate as possible, why do we leave out that one critical factor?

What say you?
 
Not one midget porn pic :(

I don’t think it’s necessary to point out race…. Lots of whites doing the same crap
What should be pointed out is the lack of discipline given to these perps. Until we start scaring these people with hard time it’s only going to get worse
 
It seems that all advertising on TV is black folks or interracial. I am not racist but find it interesting that 10% of our country is black and 95% of the advertising is black. Here in East Ky we do not have car jackings, u would be a dead man if you grabbed the wrong door handle. Alot of folks here pack, alot.
 
It’s mainly the blacks. Enough w the fear and virtue signaling.

Look up the homicide statistics on blacks and violent crimes.

Guess what the number one killer of black males is? Exactly. Other black males.

It’s blacks and I don’t give two shits if you think I’m racist either.

Blacks are more racist than whites IMO.

They (the media) always show a picture if it’s a white male.

Nick jr plays this at every commercial break to the 2-7 year old demographic. Marxist much?
 
Whites are bad dudes…. Not sure what’s up with rape

My youngest daughter when she was in high school would come home with all these friends for dinner and studying….. not one was white. I said to her one day…do you have any white friends…. She said no they are all assholes….. I was okay with that

Statics show that more blacks die by being shot by other black men than anything.
 
When you figure in the fact that blacks are what, 18% of the population, then it appears they have a lot higher percentage of bad dudes. I wonder about that survey though. What group are the Latino crowd mixed into? Is that just someone's opinion of the percentages or actual numbers counted from actual police findings. Just makes you wonder.

I have also noticed that since all this woke bullshit and BLM bullshit has got started that there is way more blacks in advertisements and in the regular programming. I have noticed also that several characters on the programs we watch have been changed from a white actor to a black one.

My hat comes off to the the cops that have to put up with the attitude of the young people of the day, black or white.

Funny how more time effort and money is being spent these days on advocating for the black man. There are rallies after rallies with white elitists wringing their hands and preaching how the white man is oppressing the black community. Educational institutions are propagating the DEI protocols ( diversity, equity and inclusion) concerned that there are not enough blacks in leadership positions in education or corporate America and that some how that needs to be changed. I say it is what it is, I believe everyone in America has a chance to advance, sure some get a better chance because of who they know or congregate with but in general if you stand out as a leader in your field due to your intellect and work ethic, you will advance. On the other hand if you decide it is easier to take from others and live off the tit of the government for your basic needs, well you will flounder in the ghettos. These issues are centuries old that are rooted in culture. Anyone who thinks that affirmative action policies will ever fix it is just another academic elite that is completely insulated from reality.
It doesn’t bother me anymore that they don’t mention the race of the perp, their omission is just confirmation for me.
Great topic @Gofirstclass.

Right on! One of my dads favorite sayings that I heard many, many times from the time I can remember was "Hungry Hound Hunts Best". Now that I have lived out the biggest part of my years, I have seen that fact displaying itself many times. Every hound hunter knows it and it goes for the human race too. If you give a mammal everything he wants without him having to put out then you are just guaranteeing that he will never put out.

Its a cultural issue in my opinion sir. That is my 2 cents worth.
 
I think you just defined a democrat

This is not a democrat issue -
Jeez. My democrat friends work their asses off for every dollar they make, just like you and me. Why does this have to become a dem/rep thing? Many dems stay dems because of one or two specific issues, not because they don’t want to work hard to earn the American dream.

It's way more a cultural thing than a race thing. Inner city urban is a situation all to itself. My area is pretty diverse. Kids high school is majority hispanic, minority white, with 8-10% black. But there is a big difference between the black kids. Unfotunately the culture in some of these neighborhoods does not lend itself to success. Some won't graduate. But some break out and are well on their way to success. As the former principal used to say "I have kids going to Yale and going to jail." My kid's friends goup had a whole bunch of different kids. But the one consant was they weren't idiots and trouble makers. Not all went to college, but they all have launched respectable lives after HS graduation.

Not a democrat issue?…. The flipping root cause is Democrat …there is not a republican out there dividing the country…if you know one please point it out. Your Democrat politicians can’t win re-election without causing division by blaming racism
 
I don't think it's necessary to point out race unless it is a description to be on the lookout for him. Aside from that what difference does it make what color he/she is? But I understand the media wants to make a big deal of it so it is usually brought up. Race has nothing to do with crime in my opinion. I feel it's more of a socio-economic issue.
