Don't mistake bigotry for pure common sense. Sorry my mind is not as warped and my thinking ability actually has a nice dose of reality.
Is the first black family to move into a white neighborhood a crime wave? It lowers property values.
Since when does one black family lower property value. What neighborhood in America are you talking about that doesn't have one black family. Beverly Hills even has a few percentage of blacks. Do you think Beverly Hills has low property value? You sure are reaching.
It is the inherently racist belief that one black family moving into a neighborhood spells doom that I am talking about. Because most people have subtle racist paranoia, one prosperous black family moving into a neighborhood lowers property values. Lower property values then allow progressively poorer people to move into the neighborhood.
Again what neighborhood are you talking about? I have a black friend that lives in Beverly Hills. Does that qualify as a black family? I assure you he will tell you Beverly Hills does not have low property value.
Crime follows poor people.
If there was a list for the biggest lies of all time. This would be in that list. Again and again, it has been shown that the poorest white neighborhoods, the poorest asian neighborhoods, never even have remotely the crime rate of any black neighborhood. I also showed thorough examples in previous threads absolutely debunking this myth. It is no surprise that Washington DC, a black majority city, has a murder rate very identical to South Africa. I assure you the economical gap between Washington DC and South Africa is quite large. Furthermore, a white majority poor city like OKlahoma City, which is significantly poorer than DC, has an extraordinarily low crime rate.
Chinese and Indians in United Kingdom who are largely 1st generation immigrants in the UK and are likely poor have LOWER crime rates than that of Native British population. African immigrants in the UK, have crime rates 10 times the figure of the Native British population. The exact same white-black crime gap that exists in the United States or anywhere else in the world. Look also to South Africa for that same gap.
This is a well understood phenomenon. It is one of the principle reasons that blacks have not risen in economic status. The most significant investment of any lower income family is their house. It is leveraged to provide the economic means for other activities - business investment, college tuition etc.
Since I absolutely debunked your previous statement, I don't think I need to answer this one.
This has not been so for much of black America simply because the majority of the nation has subtle racial paranoia.
Perhaps in your head. Ask Jews if they're often discriminated against. I wonder where Jews are on the economical ladder.
When successful, law-abiding, Rumanian immigrants move in down the street, property values increase because a house has been bought. When a successful, law-abiding black family move in down the street, property values decrease because they are black. The Rumanian immigrants have an intrinsic advantage in society because they are white. Because they are white, they have a significantly higher expectation that their most important financial asset will increase in value.
And this "racist" American society somehow favors Jews and Asians. Both of which are disproportionally in high property value neighborhoods. Why don't these neighborhoods have low property value?
It is severely flawed.
your reasoning is limited.
Quite the contrary.
You don't have the intellectual capacity to deal with complex issues.
Trust me. I'll put my IQ against yours any day. If you would like, I will also fax you my 1500+ SAT. Simply because you have low intelligence doesn't mean everyone else does. Simply because one doesn't buy your warped perspectives does not mean the person has low intelligence. It would likely be the contrary.
You eliminate the complexities that disagree with your bigoted worldview until you reduce the situation to something you can comprehend.
This coming from someone that doesn't care about "fairness" Like I said, you have your own problems to deal with before even having such a discussion like this. The very simple fact that you threw the word "fair" to the garbage, like it has no meaning, like it shouldn't have any meaning, shows your own shallowness, your own bigotry.
Unlike successful Asians or other immigrants, poverty follows successful blacks.
You seem to forget that Asians and Jews were quite poor when they first arrived to this country. They themselves worked themselves out of poverty. Something blacks have yet to do. Oh also when Asians and Jews were poor, they still had low crime rate.
It is able to do this because of racism.
No. No one faced more racism historically than Jews. It has still been the most successful group in terms of economics. Your viewpoints here are extraordinarily on the radical left. You refuse to take all evidence, all facts into consideration. Instead you like to hold on to your own bigotry no matter what the evidence.
If blacks fail, it is often from their own doing. This has been brought up numerous times by even black leaders themselves. Did you miss the Bill Cosby remarks of recent history? Are you going to tell me Bill Cosby is just a lying bastard? That the black community is all so perfect and innocent and it's just simply the white man keeping them down?
Blacks have a 70% illegitimacy rate. With 70% of blacks being born out of wedlock, by far the highest single mom figure compared to any other group, you actually wonder why blacks are in poverty? But of course you will blame the 70% illegitimacy rate of blacks on the white man and racism. Of course of course. It's the white man. Blacks aren't doing anything wrong at all.
Where poverty goes, crime goes.
Again completely debunked.
The racist belief that blacks are more likely to be criminals becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It's not a belief. It's a simple fact. Would you like me to show FBI figures for the past 100 years? The homicide rate of blacks are about 10 times the rate of whites every single year.
The same thing has been said of many ethnic groups - Irish, Jews, Italians and, yes, Chinese. The difference is that Italians, Irish and Jews could easily look like anyone else
Another lie. Also Jewish surnames, etc are dead give aways.
and the Chinese were always too few in number to be a threat.
What the hell does numbers have to do with racism? Please tell me what percentage of Nazi Germany were Jews. 1%? Yeah Jews didn't face discrimination because they were too few in numbers and weren't perceived a threat by Nazi Germany. And you wonder why people are heavily questioning your statements.
On the other hand, it is easy to maintain a racist society against blacks. There is no shortage of hate mongers to fan the subtle fears of the mildly racist majority.
There is more racism against whites then there are against blacks believe me. Ask the Middle East who they hate. Ask North Korea who they hate. Hell ask Blacks who they hate.
But the link between racism and success is close to absolute zero. No amount of racism is going to prevent Jews from succeeding the way they do.
