Didnt those nice colored folks tell You, Its all Us whiteys fault. We are racist and We wont Give them everything they want, Oh and because some of them have the IQ of an ape. They dont get it. I dont care if their skin was colored green. If a human being acts like a monkey, They are gonna get treated like one.

If I was walking down a desterted street and a black guy was coming toward me I would feel only a hundredth as worried than if it was a white skinhead or football yobo. I would cross the road every time.
Black crime is NOTHING compared to white crime. Who's bringing drugs into the country in massive shipments? Who's making millions from importing and selling guns illegally? White men. Whites maje up, by far the majority, in million dollar white collar crime. The world's most prolific serial killers are almost exclusively white.
I'm not saying there isn't an awful lot of black crime. There is still a lot of anger there. But this is only made worse by preconceptions by people like you.

Because they are trying to catch up with the crimes that whites have committed for 400 years. At this rate it could take blacks well over 3,000 years to catch with the level of crime the white race committed. Assume whites never committed any.
beside it not 10x more they are aressted 8x more, 74% likly to go to jail even if they committ the same crime.

It not that more blacks are commiting more crimes. Its that the police, even the black officers target or single out the black man for a crime. I can rob a bank in a black town and walk right past the cops. They will check out the black man behind me. So we commit just as many crimes, we just dont get cought as much.

Just so your question does not be percieved wrongly for future reference include a reference where you got your statistic.
As a sociology major, Blacks commit crimes due to lack of resources and their social position. African american men experience racisim far more than any other group of people and usually cannot afford to proper representatinon in court system.
Black men are more likely to be convited of a crime. Blacks (men) are arrested for drug crimes wether they are addicted , or distrubting. Whites get order to get counceling, or treatment while blacks are given jail time.
Police usually serve "urban" area and cities wher blacks live and pick up many men who populate the area.
Whites can not always readily identify with cultural differences and blacks are percieved to be a threat so they are more likely to be misunderstood and arrested for obstruction, of justice threat, intimidation.
If you already, have a criminal offense as a minor or adult you are more than likely to get convicted again byt the court system.
Black housholds sometimes lack the proper representation tomodel appropiate behavior. Single mothers are busy putting a rooff over the kids head, little time may be spent modeling the proper behavior.
Black men who commit crimes usually have no ties to the community, family, churches, or education.
Personally, as a african american female and two sons of my own, I believe the problem is going to get worse. We need to focus on change !

U obvioulsy like to have heated debates about controversial topics as I am sure that you will get a HUGE and negative responce about this one......
The Black people have historically been enslaved to the white people which therefore allowed the white people to "get ahead" while the black people where treated like animals..
This enslavement has been felt and its effect seen many decades later. There are many Black people still caught up in poor suburbs and ghetteos which only seems to perpeptuate the myth that they are "all bad" and that the high rate crime is due to the Black population.
The white race has always portrayed itself as superior to the Black race and this is why I believe Black people feel like they have to "prove" themselves as worthy and this is still happening today as racism between the white and black race is still rampant...
I am sure that if you compared the "white trash" crime against the "blacks" it would NOT be soo different..
People commit crimes not color...

Maybe 400 years of slavery has something to do with it. That's alot of time to be oppressed. I'm black and I don't commit crimes - but in no way, shape or form do I consider myself "white-washed". Where in the world do people come up with this crap?

Because they always feel entitled to something for free because their ancestors were slaves.
