This turned into a shitstorm fast.
Like it was going to go any other way. Although there has only been 1 cross burning so far in this thread.

This I understand about TM the lack of guidance, but let me put this more plainly; if your wife can't cook, is reminder her how bad a cook she before and after every meal going to help her become a better cook?
You can't sit here and denigrate an entire race, certainly not. For one, I'm a satisfied, married, working black man -- lead desktop admin for my company, never spend a night in jail, been working regularly in IT for 7 straight years, I have freinds who are doing the same thing, and very well.
I grew up with thugs and can tell you, most of them are smart and just need proper guidance, like a well meaning father. If you spend time around blacks, you'd see the potential these young men have.
Blacks experience many things that disproportionately hinder their progress and chances for success.
4. Blacks are on average genetically less intelligent (smaller gene pool) than their competition in the U.S. limiting there educational and employment opportunities.
Whilst I cannot say anything for the other 4 points you raised...I call bullshit here.
Just because a population of people is genetically smaller in gene pool, does not mean they are less intelligent.
Take Jews for example...there are some 14 million globally. Of these...lets break it down
Approximately 20% of ALL Jews are Dr or Medical personnel
Approximately 15% of ALL Jews are Accountants or Financial advisors
Approximately 10% of ALL Jews are Lawyers or Paralegal
The remaining 55% are either religious personnel (Rabbi or other assistants to rabbis), housewives, retired, children, military or other professions.
So of the 14 million jews globally, around 6.5million have degree/postgraduate studies.
So having a small genepool don't mean shit.
Blacks are on average genetically less intelligent(smaller gene pool) than their competition in the U.S.
....now, it has devolved into a circlejerk about how much better whites are than blacks.
Yea, but if you bring it up..they accuse you of race baiting. Hilarious.
Like Rob said...all you folks are doing is venting (some of you) your thinly veiled racism and complaining about blacks...yet, none of you have really given any ideas for solutions....oh except the one asshole that suggested that white people just adopt black babies.
How can some of you complain about (some) blacks not being receptive to whites when you sit in your armchairs talking about how inferior we are? Wow.

I never said that there were not some incredibly smart, intelligent and successful black people. I said on average, that black are less intelligent. Only someone trying to be PC would deny that.
No mother fucker you said "genetically" which is racist as hell. Social issues has nothing to do with genetics, you ignorant bitch.
It is not racist if it is true and you can't provide any evidence to the contrary. On the other hand there are adoption studies that prove my point.

I disagree. When you know nothing about a person, you need to resort to whatever you do know about what little you can observe. This is entirely logical and it is how people act even when they are not aware of it. If your doctor tells you that being fat is increasing your chance of heart disease by 50% of course he's not talking about you; you've never been studied; he's talking in general. It's possible that being fat will do nothing to you at all negative, but all things equal, it won't help. All things equal, if you know nothing whatsoever about specific individuals, all you have is generalities.Well - there IS something inherently wrong with using facts and statistics to treat races differently. People are individuals, not groups. The fact that young black men commit crimes at very high rates (by comparison) tells me nothing about the young black man walking past my house. Let's call this young man Trayvon, assume that there are one million Americans who could be termed "young black men", and assume that 16% of young black men commit armed home invasions versus 2% for young white men. (These are all numbers pulled straight from my nether regions and intentionally slanted far worse than reality to make a point.) When Trayvon walks past my house, I know statistically that he has a 16% chance (by my made-up numbers) of being a dangerous thug. If I used that number to suspect that he is a dangerous thug, then I'm going to be wrong 92% of the time, and that 8:1 ratio isn't really going to make me any less wrong. Only if most black people were criminals would I be right more often than wrong, and even the Ku Klux Klan's Grand Pustulate in the comfort of his own 1976 single wide wouldn't make that claim.
When this mythical Trayvon walks past my house, it is one individual, not 1/1,000,000 of the homogeneous group "young black men".

In New York from January to June 2008, 83 percent of all gun assailants were black, according to witnesses and victims, though blacks were only 24 percent of the population. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of all gun assailants. Forty-nine of every 50 muggings and murders in the Big Apple were the work of black or Hispanic criminals.
. . .
After researching the FBI numbers for "Suicide of a Superpower," this writer concluded: "An analysis of 'single offender victimization figures' from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study."
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.
Forget race. It's night, very few people are around. You have to choose to go past two groups of people. One consists of 16-20 year olds dressed in baggy clothes, tats everywhere, they simply "look shady". The second group consists of the same number of guys in late 20's in their military dress uniforms. Which one is safer? Everybody here would have a preference.
Because they don't want the people they are robbing or beating to be able to shoot them?
Or maybe black people could get ID so they could get a job?
Or maybe they could vote at the same time as white people?
This is what I don't get. Why is everyone so hung up on trayvon's race? If he had been walking around in say a suit, or heck even say a McDonald's uniform would Zimmerman have profiled him?
So are you saying he was profiled because of what he was wearing? The neighborhood had break-ins being committed by black males. If TM was white and wearing what he was wearing (and he was appropriately dressed, imo), do you think he would have been profiled?
All else the same do you think if the break ins were committed by whites and TM was white that TM would have been profiled?
In the profile how many situational characteristics can you name and in what order would you rate their importance?
