Hello everyone, welcome to another installment of All American Carl's All American Logical. This question relates to the black community, especially in the USA. Now, before you start to flame just because i'm making a debate, open your eyes and ears, you might just learn something or realize what you haven't known. Now really, people these days are freaking out about racisms, wanting to pretend that all stereotypes are completely wrong, and that our personalities, bodies, actions and etc and 100% EQUAL, when this is verrrry far from the case. First off, for alittle bit of harsh evidence, lets start off by saying that the per capita crime rate of blacks is much higher than whites, do your research, the figures are astonishingly lopsided. It seems as if in America, if you are black, you're either a "gangster" who commits many crimes and has no reguard for anything, or you are a "white black person" who is made fun of by most blacks because of your status. why can't blacks seem to fit in?

Why are whites of today so scared to stand up, show their heritage and walk proud as the black man does? Why are we so fearful of their lawsuits, we owe them nothing, and they are taking major advantage of that fact that many of us think we do. Stand up proud USA, it's time to shout out, it's time for white males to be proud of themselves and not fearful of the trouble that may get in for their words or actions, that wouldn't get anyone else in trouble. I'm tired of losing jobs to people of other races who just aren't qualified, if we were really equal, why would you need this step up?

Ckarri` you know exactly what stereotype I mean because the MAJORITY of blacks in USA are that stereotype. Yes there are also some whites who fit in with that element, but it is the blacks ballfield. There are good and bad people of every race, I appreciate your attempt at creating a caring world, but it's a naive and ignorant attempt.

MRS. 84, you're hypocrisy is staggering. I have 2 degrees in engineering, do you automatically assume i'm some dumb redneck just because i'm trying to make a valid point about black people, from a white persons shoes? From your spelling and sentence composition, it doesn't appear that you are at all qualified, much less qualified enough to boast to other people that they will never be better than you. HAH. You tell me not to be so hateful, but then you brag about how much more qualified and imply that you are smarter, and then you tell me to get a life. Thank you for further prove, I do appreciate it greatly.

Ckarri, you might want to stop before you really look like an immature baby, if that hasn't happened all ready. I make a valid point, maybe you're just definately yourself because you imbrace the black american stereotype? hmmm? why would you resort to freaking out and having a temper tantrum? I can already predict your next emotion filled answer edit lol.

Although I don't completely agree with carl, I must say somewhere in there he has a point. Crime rates are a lot higher with black people than whites. They need to focus their time toward a good occupation instead of crime. Then they wouldn't be any finacial problems. I also think many blacks today don't appreciate what their ancestors did for them. They take their freedom for granted.

(Just for the record - I'm not racist and I meant the majority not all)

crime rates are higher because more blacks than whites live in poverty stricken, crime ridden neighborhoods. this dates back to segregation, and then the building boom after WWII when money was given to build suburbs but not to maintain the inner cities. so the neighborhoods declined further, and remain not as desireable to this day. also, many blacks don't seem to "fit in" because you are assuming that the "white" way of acting is the right one....maybe it's the whites who don't fit in? also again, it must be hard to maintain an identity when you don't know your past. most black people in this country have no idea where they are from, thanks again to slavery, so they try very hard to have a separate culture. instead of asking pretend non-racist questions, put yourself in the shoes of others to see why they behave the way they do. you will find for most blacks, it usually comes down to poverty, which is usually not even their fault, they are born into it and it's a horrible cycle that's been around for centuries. and while you may think "if they worked hard enough they could succeed" your own question proves that racism is alive and well, and it's not as easy for some people.

When you said so accurate to stereotypes did you mean this one stereotype or did you mean all stereotypes including all of the good stereotypes that you failed to mention? Did you tell all the people here how Black people are actually moving up to middle-class citizens? Or how Black people seem to be very good at sports? Or how good they are at dancing? No, the only thing you did was report some stupid stereotypes to spread hatred around the world instead of trying to send out a message of love! Shame on you and the people who raised you.

EDIT

Me ignorant? Your whole ******* question is ignorant in case you didn't know..Oh and here another good stereotype.. BLACK MEN HAVE BIGGER ***** THAN WHITE MEN now accept that also. And what do you mean by fit in? Does that mean that all White men download porno flicks with little children in it. Molest little children, because the majority of the time the person who molests little kids and have kid pornography are creepy white men..Is this stereotype true also?

EDIT: I don't even feel like arguing with you anymore it's not worth it. When it really comes down to it..Black people aren't going anywhere, So I guess you'll just have to just live with our as you say accurate stereotypes.

I wouldn't go so far as to call you racist, but you are a bit ignorant-regardless of what your research shows, this is not about the research. Can we not accept that there is good and bad in all people? Why can't we just be people? I'm black and Hispanic, I don't try to fit it, nor have I ever and I get alone quite well. I've made mistakes in my life, but I'm only 21 and now I'm on the right track. I'm getting an education and doing what I have to do to make my life the way I want it.
Why must you generalize? I used to be made fun when I was kid, yes, because I was 'too white to be black' or however you want to generalize that category. But kids will always find a reason to make fun of other kids. As I've come into adulthood, I've seen less and less of that among my peers. I'm not seen as an 'Oreo cookie', I'm seen as an educated and well-liked young woman, who knows what she wants in life. I have goals and dreams and ambitions just like most people.
Yes, most research does show crime among blacks is higher-but what types of crimes? Not that it really makes a difference-crime is crime-but let's say that it did. Drugs? Robbery?
IF it mattered-only IF-who commits the most heinous crimes in our country? Usually, it isn't black people.
If you want to pick a debate, that's fine, I can see you tried to explain what you meant without sounding racist. But if you want to pick a debate about a culture, pick more than one culture, so it doesn't sound like your attacking one specific group of people.

Not all black people are gantastas or the white black person! I am a proud African American woman that is highly educated and more qualified that you will ever be. Particularly because I spend my time doing work instead of looking at races. Get a life and stop being so hateful. You should be worrying about doing God's work!

huh? there's stereotypes?

Well if what you say is true, then you need to wake up. There is nothing wrong with being who you are regardless of who you are.

Did you know...the legal laws that continue to give "protection" to the minority groups in the USA were only meant to last 50 years, as the legislature at the time of their inception believed the people of this great nation would be accepting and tolerant of the rest of their nation that the laws would no longer be applicable and need to beenforced? Somehow, the American people are not following suit to the predictions of the law makers. I can't imagine why any legislature in America would believe that the American society would be mature and grown up about the whole matter one generation latter.

I really would like to know what it is you have against your ancestor's. Yeah cracker, that's right, your ancestor's. You need to check your history. I know that when you were obtaining one of those degrees that you took a history course. My brother, you are a mutant of my ancestor's. You have no melanin in your skin because your peeps went to Europe,(you are a half breed) if we are such a stereotype then why do you all American white people copy everything we do. And as far as not owing us anything, African Americans (even though you are a mutated version, but I mean with the dark skin) you are so wrong this country was built on my grandparents sweat, blood, and tears.

Peace my *****
