Living in a small town

...Ugly, boarded-up homes, leaning hopelessly on their foundations are plentiful in urban and minority neighborhoods..

A new study finds this is most likely because the banks that own them are keeping them that way.

The National Fair Housing Alliance released a report of their study that found foreclosed homes in predominantly black and Latino areas “were far more likely than those in predominantly white area to be left in disrepair,” the Washington Post reports.

Failure to maintain the homes drives down surrounding property values, increases crime and promotes vagrancy...

Next time do it wearing middle eastern garb and see how quickly the swat team shows up....

I suspect the cop knew him.
I suspect the results would be the same as long as the cop recognized him despite whatever costume he wore.
I suspect that if the cop knows a real middle eastern citizen in his town and the citizen is in good standing, the result would be the same.

there's a real benefit in living where the local cops know their citizens personally

big urban areas suck precisely because of the anonymity - it pretty much requires that people will bucket others into preconceive stereotypes like Kevin does

...While unemployment has always been a problem for this particular community, African-American youth are facing a devastating situation in this so-called economic recovery. Overall, unemployment for young men (ages 18-24) is remarkably higher than other demographic categories. Based upon data collected by Demos.org, this particular group had an unemployment rate of 19.7% (compared to women in the same age group, who had a rate of 14.6%). When it comes to African-American youths of this age, the figures jumps dramatically to 32.6%. The figure for Hispanic males of the same age wasn’t much better at 21.2%. And what about their non-Hispanic white counterparts? Their unemployment rate was 17.5%. Clearly African-American youth, particularly males, are struggling the most...

I have similar feeling about hunting. The hunter's safety courses up here teach kids not to showboat and to conceal their game so as not to offend anyone and prompt them to bitch n' moan to authorities and bring negative attention to the sport.

which is the wrong way to go about it. Being meek and quiet and hidden just reinforces the notion that hunters are a weird minority that can be further regulated into oblivion without any political consequences.

...It is clear that African-Americans must once again fight to regain their status in the middle class. With all of these factors – the housing crisis, chronic high unemployment rates, lack of decent wages, and the higher education scam – that have crippled these communities, it is hard not to think that there is a war, an institutionalized one with many facets, being deliberately waged against blacks and Hispanics. Minority youth are particularly vulnerable, as opportunities in the future seem out of reach. While it is true that non-Hispanic whites now make up a large segment of the working poor these days, and they too find themselves trapped by student loan debt, low wages, foreclosed homes, and so forth, they have – historically – benefited far more than people of color in this country. One only need look at the recent ‘Occupy’ movement to see that economic inequality is no longer strictly based upon race inequality...

dramatically higher rates of dropping out of high school and committing felonies does not help here. We're not even getting to the point where college participation comes into play. Step 1 is getting the HS diploma, and perhaps putting an end to nonsense like Ebonics.

I'm guessing the answer is blacks? Do you know where rushmc got that stat, I don't feel like searching all his posts for the link?

...In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the lynching of Black people in the Southern and border states became an institutionalized method used by whites to terrorize Blacks and maintain white supremacy. In the South, during the period 1880 to 1940, there was deep-seated and all-pervading hatred and fear of the Negro which led white mobs to turn to lynch law as a means of social control. Lynchings open public murders of individuals suspected of crime conceived and carried out more or less spontaneously by a mob seem to have been an American invention. In Lynch-Law, the first scholarly investigation of lynching, written in 1905, author James E. Cutler stated that lynching is a criminal practice which is peculiar to the United States.

Most of the lynchings were by hanging or shooting, or both. However, many were of a more hideous nature burning at the stake, maiming, dismemberment, castration, and other brutal methods of physical torture. Lynching therefore was a cruel combination of racism and sadism, which was utilized primarily to sustain the caste system in the South. Many white people believed that Negroes could only be controlled by fear. To them, lynching was seen as the most effective means of control...

FBI UCR stats for at least the last couple years, although as usual, Kevin exaggerates.

Blacks murdered by Blacks: 90.8% / 90.4% (2009 / 2010)
Blacks murdered by Whites: 7.2% / 8.0%
Blacks murdered by others: 0.4% / 0.2%
Unknown: 1.4% / 1.3%

Whites murdered by Whites: 84.2% / 83.4%
Whites murdered by Blacks: 12.9% / 13.4%
Whites murdered by others: 1.1% / 1.2%
Unknown: 1.7% / 1.8%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Actually, 84% is close enough for Kevin's statement to be fine for an off the cuff statement. Don't you think?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


84 *seems* close to 90, but it's really 10 and 16 you should be comparing and it's not so close.

Instead of the ratio of same broad demographic type killing you:other broad demographic type being 9:1 (90%), it's 6.25:1.

mnealtx - does this cite give the actual number murdered? Since he wants to harp on the subject, which is bigger:
Blacks murdered by Whites: 7.2% / 8.0%
Whites murdered by Blacks: 12.9% / 13.4%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It does:
Blacks murdered by Whites: 209 / 218 (2009/2010)
Whites murdered by Blacks: 454 / 447 (2009 / 2010)

...In the decade immediately preceding World War I, a pattern of racial violence began to emerge in which white mob assaults were directed against entire Black communities. These race riots were the product of white societys desire to maintain its superiority over Blacks, vent its frustrations in times of distress, and attack those least able to defend themselves. In these race riots, white mobs invaded Black neighborhoods, beat and killed large numbers of Blacks and destroyed Black property. In most instances, Blacks fought back and there were many casualties on both sides, though most of the dead were Black...

Interesting, thanks for that. I think there are some other numbers that could have bearing, such as the actual population sizes. In 2010, there were 223,553,265 whites and 38,929,319 blacks in the US (from wiki). This means that for a given random black person, there was a 0.00056% change of being murdered by a white person in 2010. For a given random white person, there was a 0.00020% chance of being murdered by a black person. One could read these numbers and say that blacks have reason to be 2.8x more scared of being killed by whitey than vice versa.

Moral of the story, statistics are complicated. No one, not even Kevin or Mike, can paint an accurate picture with a couple of well selected figures.

...One of the Souths most sensational riots occurred in Atlanta, Georgia in September 1906. For months the city had been lashed into a fury of race hatred by a movement to disfranchise Blacks. The Atlanta press had begun to treat Black crime, especially assault and rape, in an inflammatory fashion. Twelve rapes of white women were reported in one week, giving the impression that there was an epidemic of Black rape. This touched off a riot. White mobs, meeting ineffective resistance by city police, murdered Blacks, destroyed and looted their homes and businesses. Blacks attempted to resist, but were outnumbered. Some Blacks were arrested for arming themselves in self-defense. When the four days of rioting ended, ten Blacks and two whites were dead, hundreds were injured, and over a thousand fled the city...

I have similar feeling about hunting. The hunter's safety courses up here teach kids not to showboat and to conceal their game so as not to offend anyone and prompt them to bitch n' moan to authorities and bring negative attention to the sport.

which is the wrong way to go about it.

Then what do you propose?

Now just to clarify and be a little more specific...they're basically teaching kids to have humility and respect for the sport and others. This is especially helpful when you need to ask for permission to track your animal on someone else's property.

...and the concealment I'm referring to is while transporting the bloody carcass in the public eye. I don't think that's so unreasonable to ask.

Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Out of sight, out of mind...Why give people an unnecessary reason to object to a bloody carcass that they might find offensive?

Personally I'm more worried about arrogant and irresponsible hunters ruining the sport.
