  2. Crime in America is basically a black and hispanic problem. Take blacks and hispanics out the equation and American crime rates compare quite favorably.

    Another thing to think about:

    The prisonsystem is an excellent business for the government in 2 ways:

    1. Housing, feeding and guarding 2.3 million people create lots of jobs.

    2. To have 2.3 million people out of the jobmarket makes room for other emloyees.

    Let's say at least 1 million people could be released because of non-violent crimes and such. Then suddenly those 1 million people would be looking for jobs, and obviously the catering jobs for the prisonsystem should lose jobs too, because for half that many people you need less workers.

    So suddenly there are 1.2 million or so people looking for jobs. It is all a nice big social institution, just like having huge military orders for absolutely no good reason. It keeps people employed...
    Unemployment stats without that many jailed would be much higher...

  4. Blacks and Hispanics only commit crimes in America because America has outlawed the specific cultural behaviors that have resulted in their incarceration. For example, in primitive societies there is a great deal more communal "sharing" to the extent that if there is a Colt 45 sitting in a cooler it is perfectly permissible for the strongest or fastest to claim it. This pecking order is not disputed in their original cultures, on the contrary it is celebrated. It is only through racism and cultural holocaust that the white man imprisons those who would claim their rightful status in the pecking order of society. Perhaps the only real solution to this is for the WASP's to respect these cultural ideals and indeed through fairness outlaw some basic WASP cultural ideals like using security systems to deny the disaffected from claiming property as their own. Once we embrace these cultural ideals we will see our prisons become less and less filled.

    legalise/decriminalise drugs. Government supply requires support systems (mental, health)and will, in my opinion, save money. You will be safer. ....so will you're elders.

    We will be elders one day.

  7. You obviously are racist and do not respect the cultural rights of minorities. You probably supported welfare reform which denied people their cultural rights not to work. What would you suggest as a means to end the oppression and incarceration of minorites? Should they reject their cultural heritage and embrace yours?

    OK minorities should be allowed to take anything from retail stores without paying. Retail stores should be allowed to compensate for this by charging whites more.If any white person doesn't like it he should be charged with federal hate crime for offending sensitivities of minorities
    You obviously are racist and do not respect the cultural rights of minorities. You probably supported welfare reform which denied people their cultural rights not to work.
    I didn't know that not liking the idea of using my tax money to pay other people means of support makes me a racist. How do you know I would deny to anybody the right not to work? If you think that you have the right not to work and another right to use other people money to support yourself you are twisted.
    .....a great deal more communal "sharing" to the extent that if there is a Colt 45 sitting in a cooler it is perfectly permissible for the strongest or fastest to claim it.

    Can you tell me why do you deny "the pecking order system" to whites?
    For you the pecking order is fine as long as it's you benefiting at the expense of others, otherwise it's just racism.

    You are the prime example how "social democracy" (light socialism) fucks up commoners minds.

  9. Western culture has "evolved" meaning that it is not "base" human behavior and therefore may have less validity in the application of cultural behavior. When conflicts arise the "evolved" attitudes, if they are in the majority, impose a cultural bias and oppress the adherents of "base" culture. We can see this in the treatment of the whites towards the indians. Did the fact that whites didn't like the Native Americans taking their chickens and having sex with their wives while they were away from the farm really justify packing them away on reservations? Same with the blacks, except the blacks are packed away in penitentiaries. ATTICA! ATTICA! Just because the white culture says it is bad to take other peoples stuff, shoot at people that piss them off, and deal drugs. Think about it. If all of those things were culturally acceptable then the prisons would no longer be neccessary. I mean, what is the difference between white people watching a couple of black guys beating each other in the ring and some bro' keeping his ho in line? What if it was culturally un-acceptable to listen to country music? Until you have been one of the oppressed and denied your rightful cultural heritage you will never understand!

  10. Claywilk obviously does not mean the things he is saying.

    I'm not sure if we're seeing comedy, trolling, sardonic caricature of the far-left, or a practical joke. It could be a combination of all four.
