Why do Blacks and Hispanics commit the majority of crime in the United States?

Answer 1

It has NOTHING to do with black poverty, it has to do with being black.

OJ Simpson wasn't poor. Kobe Bryant isn't poor. Any black who is in the NBA is wealthy, yet during the 2001-2002 NBA season, a full 40 percent of NBA players had police records involving serious crimes. These ranged from armed robbery to rape. Rape, both statutory and forceful, is a big one, only it doesn't get much press, since the victims are generally strippers or waitresses and are routinely paid off to keep quiet. Now these aren't whites or Asians we're talking about here..

Let's not forget our black rappers. They're certainly not living in poverty, but continue to shoot each other up on a regular basis. When was the last time you heard of a white rocker killing another white rocker?

Liberals often try to blame Black violence on poverty. The Census data, however, disproves that hypothesis. How? In 1995, among the American poor, there were 16.3 million Whites (real ones), 10.0 million Blacks, 8.6 million "Hispanics," and 1.4 million Asians. Blacks comprised about 27.6% of the American poor. During that year, Blacks committed about 54% of all US murders. Remember that the FBI, from whom the murder information comes, counts "Hispanics" as "Whites," making the total number of poor persons eligible to be committing murders as "Whites" about 24.8 million. These "Whites" comprised 68.5% of the American poor, but committed - at most - only 46% of 1995 US murders, if we make the doubtful assumption that Asians and Amerindians committed none. The evidence argues against the liberal hypothesis that poverty causes crime.

Answer 2

Partly as the previous answerer suggest due to being poor perhaps - though this in itself begs the question "why?".

It would have been useful to know if you truly mean "all crimes" - or just some types - eg; gun / drug / sex.

There have been studies elsewhere into the differences between different cultures and races - but as it becomes very dangerous ground to suggest that we are not all utterly identical - and everyone equally gifted in all aspects of everything - it is unwise to state interesting results.

Suffice to say that fascinating observation have been made to brain capacity, ability to learn new tasks, pre-disposition to act on impulse and so on.

Gang culture is less common with caucasian - perhaps as a feeling of "needing to join forces" is less. Much gang culture tends to end up having a criminal aspect to it - even if not established specifically for that purpose.

Different races *DO* react and behave differently to other races - this is not saying one is better or worse than another - just different.

I suspect much more could be easily said on the subject - were it possible to discuss an issue like this without being accused of being racist the moment a minority group is discussed in connection with a negative issue. This in itself does no favours to anyone - as it suppresses intelligent conversation to the detriment of all.

Answer 3

I'll say it's how they're brought up or something. But if all of their crimes that have something to do with monetary vaule were combined, it wouldn't be anywhere close to the crimes commited by those in charge of corporations which are predominantly run by white males, but they'll never be arrested for the crap they do. It sucks, but it's the world we live in. Oh and statistics might also be slightly messed up due to racial profiling that happens, though I'm not sure if that would make a big difference in who commits crimes.

Answer 4

i understand that's a certainty. yet my sister is in criminal justice classification, and her e book says that they are lots extra in all probability. meaning, police seem out for them extra. if there's a black guy in a automobile, circling a block for a at the same time as, somebody will call the law enforcement officials. if that's a white guy, human beings won't care as lots. that's purely how the U.S. society is. And that's bull crap. the element is, each race is equivalent in in crime, that's purely the black and hispanic human beings get caught extra.

Answer 5

Okay that's a stupid question, the only reason why it seems as if we do is bc of what society allows you to believe. For those who say its bc we are poor, well if you wanted to know the truth, there are more poor white ppl than black and mexican. And as far as im concerned we are far from poor. There is nothing poor about my family, we are actually quite weathy and I don't think that you should base things that you hear on the media and make a conclusion based only on that. If you want to know than you need to experience first hand.

Answer 6

Simple answer, because they are poor. Happens in every country with a poor minority.
In Britain blacks (& Muslims) commit the most crimes, in Ireland its Polish people (believe it or not), in Italy its Romanov gypsies, in France its Algerians, in Germany its Turks....
