    First, is it the majority? Where's your evidence that this is the case. Are most black people in jail, or convicted felons?

    Second, if he is not like this "black culture", how can they be described as his peers? A black millionaire entrepreneur, or a black college professor or lawyer, is hardly the "peer" of some young ghetto gangbanger.

    Third, why should that culture, even if it is the majority, have such an effect on how he is treated? I don't form my view of an individual based on the actions of other people who he has never even met.

    They are mostly rich, politically stable countries. And you forgot Bermuda, another rich, politically stable country. As I said before in this thread, you need to compare like with like before you can draw any significant conclusions.

    As for the US white homicide rate, where are you getting your figures from? It's been some time since I looked at this issue, but I do recall the US white homicide rate being at least double that of most European 1st world countries, with the exception of N Ireland.

    Regarding the US murder rate, here's some empirical research for you:

    The conclusion was that about half the higher black murder rate was entirely down to structural factors like poverty. Add in cultural differences which we both agree on, and that can quite easily explain the rest. So, no need for any kind of "intrinsic racial" explanation.

    If social factors can cause such a huge difference in the US, then I think country factors such as having GDP per capita of 1/20th the US rate, or having major political instability or social breakdown, can easily explain why much (not all) of black africa has a high murder rate. The politically stable countries on that continent have murder rates comparable with other countries in Asia and South America of similar GDP levels.

  3. Not only that, but you're only looking at the world as it is today in the 21st century. If you compare the violence rates of whites vs. blacks across <b>the entirety of recorded history</b>, the claims and accusations of white supremacists fall apart completely!

    The white race will survive, if it is worthy of survival. (Think: Darwin) It doesn't need outside assistance from you or I.

  4. Not at all, you are just too ignorant to comprehend that about 30 million native English speakers spell some words differently then you've learned during your hick , half baked education . Devry it is at it' best .
    There are certain segments of society which use English somewhat archaic but still correct mainly because it was the original version . The version of English you 're using would be considered as underclass version . You wouldn't know the difference though , hence your twatty posts .

  5. he is perceived as one of the " black culture " even if he is not part of it, therefore he is screwed . I really feel sorry for the decent black guys . They are getting the double whammy.

  9. You have to admit, though... that's a novel defense for bad grammar/spelling. Most people just call you the 'grammar police' (generally misspelling either 'grammar' or 'police') and then slink away.

    This guy claims that he's speaking an alternate form of English!

    If you pressed him to provide examples in common usage of the erroneously spelled words, he would have a ready answer, although he wouldn't be able to cite an usages. That's the beautiful thing about breaking from reality. Everything is in its place.
