I wasn't asking for the reasons behind said crime rate.
My point was, It's all well a good bringing up the argument of population size but if that 13% of the population commits 50% of the nations homicides, violate traffic laws at a higher rates than white (the majority) and such, Then they're going to have problems with the police. What else do you expect to happen?
Quote from Thomas sowell
Well in 1960, which would be almost 100 years after the end of slavery 22% of black kids grew up in homes with only 1 parent.
30 years later after the liberal welfare state that number had more than tripled, we can speculate on how much that 22% was due to the legacy of slavery.
but we know that, that tripling was not due to legacy of slavery, it was due to a legacy of a whole different set of policies and then you can look at so many other ways, Education, Stevenson High School (i think this was the high school he mentioned) in new york, You get in by passing a very tough exam, in 2012 the percentage of black students who had gotten into Stevenson High School was less than 1/10th of the percentage of black students who had gotten in Stevenson High School 33 years earlier.
Dunbar high school in Washington was an elite black high school for a very long time, in 1993 the number of kids out of Dunbar high school who went on to college was less than it was 60 years earlier, which would of been in the depths of the great depression.
look at the housing projects, the housing projects in the first half of the 20th century, within that first 100 years after slavery, Did not have the high crime rates, The murder rates, the graffiti and all the rest, None of that was there. In fact the new York times, pointed out that on Saturday mornings it was common in the housing project of this earlier era for parents to leave their doors unlocked because some of the parents could afford televisions and some couldn't, So the ones who had televisions would leave their doors unlocked and the kids from the other family's could come down and watch.
Well now the latest figures show that most people below the poverty line have two televisions and cable but they wouldn't dare leave their doors unlocked in a public housing project.
Video for said quote (skip to 3mins into the video) he also goes on to talk about other things.
And what exactly are BLM doing to help black people?.
Are they fighting to lower the High single mother rates among blacks?, The high Black on Black crime?, The Thug/Gang culture?
