Forbes: The top ten miserable cities

[Vyxn]

Too bad you're wrong.

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/17097.html

Lake County is comprised of:

83.2% White people.
Only 7.4% Black people.
And then 6.6% Asian people.

And then - Black culture is not "based" around crime, that's a ridiculous statement to make.

Rockford is also on there:

65.1% White, 20.5% Black.

But facts don't mean anything to you, do they?

I would like for you to post who are doing the majority of the crimes in Lake county and Rockford. if you could show that it is not minorities then you have proven your point


If a minority is only about 10% of the population but does over 50% of the crimes then you are abandoning all common since logic to be politically correct.

the problem will never be solved if you cant even acknowledge the root of the problem because of the fear of offending the minority with the problem the fear of not being politically correct




All political correctness is the ignoring dismissing and or falsely trying to explain away the facts because those facts are offensive to a minority, But it does much more harm then good because if you go on and ignore, dismiss, and explain away the facts then the problem will never be solved

https://portal.chicagopolice.org/por...oom=auto,0,791 page 43 has a breakdown. The facts show that African Americans have a higher rate of committing crimes then any other ethnicity. Though that is from 2009 so it isn't up to date but I don't really see it changing much since then.

Im very surprised you still can find crime rates broken down by race I thought the PC police had outlawed that practice because of them saying it is racist to do so

[Bryntrollian]

why isnt oakland/compton on that list? also i find it interesting that michigan illinois and california dominate that list 9/10.

Well for starters it isn't solely based on crime rates...

[Nero Duskwind]

I came here expecting to see New Orleans on the list, good surprise.

I was expecting to see Spokane, WA on that list. I am mildly disappointed.

[PizzaSHARK]

in other words you have no argument and are just using stereotypes/war torn countries to back up your point.

The stereotype exists for a reason.

[breadisfunny]

Easy. The only thing that is required is this: you do not automatically assume a person is stupid. The rest is easy.

going with some of the quotes in this thread and other america bashing threads.....i wouldnt have been surprised if he was serious.

I hope you realize that minority doesn't more crime by % doesn't = minorities have a culture based around crime.

then what is your explanation to why minorities commit disproportionately more crimes then non minorities, And before you say economic status I will link you to a page that shows you that poor minorities commit more crimes then the poor non minorities. The page uses crime, economic, and race statistics to come to that conclusion it is not an opinion

So if economic status is less of a deciding factor then race please i would like to hear your explanation

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/11/...hotoID-5474768 here is another good list top 5 best run and worst run cities. 4 of the 5 best cities are from red states and 4 of the 5 worst run cities are from Blue states....

It is a flawed study because none of the statistics used was adjusted by the cost of living in those states 30k a year in one state might be considered poor but in another state it might be middle class

Wait are you trying to say minorities are a culture of crime? I mean if we want to talk about cultures surrounded by crime couldn't we just look to Europe and their let's imperialize and enslave everyone mentality? Race doesn't fucking exist lol, it is pretty much a colloquial term. A white person is as different to an asian or black person as a tabby cat is to a calico.

A site called gene expression that probably tries to find links that don't exist, yeah totally no bias there.

[Hurwyn]

That was sort of my point, though it was more to suggest that this isn't a US site, despite what some people would have you believe.

Get over it. Go find something real to crusade again, kiddo. Not interested in the thread? Don't click it. It's really that simple.

I don't think 30k a year would be considered middle class in any state. Yeah some states require money money to live in like CA but at the same time medium pay is higher in CA then it would be in say Nebraska.

I'm not. what im looking for is a explanation why minorities commit disproportionately more crimes then non minorities. and since i have proven that economic status isn't the primary deciding factor because pool non minorities commit less crimes the poor minorities

You failed to prove anything, except your lack of comprehension.
