War on white people?

[The Land of Truth]

The fact of the matter is that at this point, lots of people want to punch each other in the face, and are looking for an excuse to do it. No matter what happens now, somebody will have an excuse to get pissed.

Okay, and? What exactly is your point? That we shouldn't discuss the issue because some people will get angry and disagree? Because, if so, that's stupid.

Democratic voters voting for socialism? What?

Yep, you heard it here first; if you are a democrat you're a socialist¹.

¹totally ignoring the fact that even U.S. Democrats are right-wing.

No no, you don't understand. You see, the Republicans are the centre, therefore, anything to the left of them is socialism (even if it's waving a flag that says "We love capitalism"--because, then, it's obviously just socialism in disguise).

No its fact's look around you it's seen every day and didn't say that to make seem I was taking about all blacks or any other group of people. If you can't see that then there is no hope for. It's sad when half of all these post are bias and ignorant. Half of every one on hear don't understand the world works including you it's not rocket science.

I think we understand more about the world than you do in fact, which is why we don't just go "aw shit, maybe I should just take it in the ass and shut up like the nice monkey I am" but go "this is seriously fucked up, we need to do something".

and now I'm a monkey so now were nameing calling grow up. It's time to be a big boy now. Act like a man not a child.

He didn't call you a monkey, he called the species monkeys (which, while not accurate--as humans are apes, not monkeys--is not an insult).

First, that post wasn't calling you anything. Second, if you want to be treated as an adult, then you should state your case like an adult, use appropriate grammar like an adult, spell like an adult, comprehend the posts of others like an adult, and use punctuation like an adult.

I'm not putting words in your mouth that's why I don't like texting or typing talking is all ways better. What I'm saying that's what it look's like to me. I'm not going to argue about let's be adults and just drop it.

And I am correcting you because you took that in a way that was calling you a monkey when I wasn't.

I'm answering the questions asked, "So, what do you think? Is this going to be the Republican version of the 'war on women'? Are there some legitimate concerns that racial tensions might worsen because of the border crisis?"

I think there are some who debate that factoid. If I remember correctly there are some who feel that simians are considered monkeys, and since we are in that group we are also monkeys.

I don't get this war on white thing, rights and equality aren't a zero sum game. Oh, 10000 post.

I know that's why I said that. I took a second look it. It's all good.

You were agreeing with something that is an ignorant presentation of statistics. One that completely ignores everything except the the skin tone of the people involved. It ignores socio-economic factors, it ignores the institutionalized racism that non-whites in general and blacks in particular have to deal with. Essentially you presented a middle-schooler's view of the American justice system.

No its fact's look around you it's seen every day and didn't say that to make seem I was taking about all blacks or any other group of people. If you can't see that then there is no hope for. It's sad when half of all these post are bias and ignorant. Half of every one on hear don't understand the world works including you it's not rocket science.

You presented basic facts in a biased light. The reason why so many Blacks are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crimes is due to poverty, pure and simple. Being the poorest socio-economic group, this causes the rate to increase. The fact many in America have deluded themselves into thinking they have no prejudice, along with institutional racism does not help.

If poverty causes crime, why is the murder rate in Nepal lower than the US murder rate, despite the fact they are much poorer than the US?

"A monkey is a primate of the Haplorrhini suborder and simian infraorder, either an Old World monkey or a New World monkey, but excluding apes and humans."

"Apes are a branch of Old World tailless anthropoid catarrhine primates native to Africa and Southeast Asia and distinguished by a wide degree of freedom at the shoulder joint indicating the influence of brachiation."

I don't see where there's a debate.

Cultural for one, Nepal is much more community based along with Buddhist and religion being factors, while the US is more materialistic.

Secondly, Nepal and other Asian countries are much more collectivist rather than individualist.

Also...Nepal has a Maoist party in power right now, so we'll see what they do in that regard.

I see your point of view but depends on how the individual see's it.

That still means there is room to cut the black murder rate.

He never said poverty causes crime. (Regardless, even if it were true, it's not the only cause of crime. There are several reasons why the US has such high murder rates: higher population, lax gun laws, etc.)

Is Nepal similar enough with their laws addressing murder rates to make an apt comparison with the United States?

There's also room to cut the white murder rate, and the Asian murder rate, and the male murder rate, and the female murder rate...

Black people aren't the only ones who commit murder.

I never said we couldn't do just that. For one, police need to increase community outreach and assistance, while community is fostered at local centres of culture, coupled with a better education policy, tax benefits for businesses that give more benefits in economically depressed areas, and the rates will decrease.

Also, comparing Nepal and the United States isn't the best way to judge whether there's a significant correlation between poverty and crime. You'd be much better off comparing cities within the United States.

Very true. (On that note: from the crime maps and whatnot I've seen, violence is usually much higher in poorer areas, especially in the South, which has the highest murder rates in the country--that said, correlation does not equal causation.)
