Again I am not a racist, and I have had many a brothers as friends.. In this discussion lets get away from the individual and more towards the Group ( which is what we are really talking about ). As an individual we find all sorts of people.... The Good, The Bad and lets not forget the Ugly. I have met good people from all colors , race , nationality as well as I have met the oppossite...the bottom line is that as a group and I dont care what Cutten says, every mo-fo is in a group, if not they wouldnt ask anything about that in any application....there are certain characteristics that we find in the group that we may not find in the individual. Again, if i were a betting man..which I iz...and i heard on the radio that they just captured serial killer wannabe...i'd bet me money on the white boy from trailer trash city....when in fact it could have been a cuban from little havana....understand me point..unfortunately that is the way it is...peace
I will go back to lurking here since these kind of discussions never go well anyway as can be seen in the last few pages lol. ------------------- No harm no foul, Optioncoach. You're right, these discussions deteriorate. In the grand scheme of things I've gotten used to the bumps in the forum road because everyone assumes you are what you write. That's the price one pays for taking a risk.
i'd bet me money on the white boy from trailer trash city....when in fact it could have been a cuban from little havana... ------------------------ Good point. The term Behavioural profiling was highjacked to mean racial profiling. This is how we ended searching grandma with a walker at the airport.
I have always wondered if the white guy as a serial killer has not been less of a function of his being white and more of a function of the fact that murderers from other races get caught or killed before they can become "serial". Why is it that whites would be more prone to serial killings?
Pabst, not disputing your experience, however because of my upbringing notably and my natural preference for diversity (perhaps due to education, circumstances, but not only since i am generally curious of differences etc, what makes us all tick etc...) i intimately know perhaps hundreds of "blacks" on 3 parts of the planet (Africa, Europe, Asia incl Japan) and i can guarantee you that color aside you wouldn't know they are "blacks" (not cause they've ditched culture, tradition, folklore etc but simply cause the common ground, shared history, values etc is overwhelming i'd say), that "integration", success etc is a non-issue... same potential, same drive etc etc... then i've got those lovely & smart mates of my wife (who used to study in Chicago way back) who told me when i visited last year about the lingering resentment against "whites" in the US. And they too do harbour some mild form of resentment. And they are not a bunch of whiners... very entrepreneurial, very positive, outgoing etc... you wldn't feel guilty hiring them if they'd let you... surely, "black" criminality rates in South Chicago like the other week-end doesn't amuse them... thats where they live, with their little daughter Chloe, 4 years old... surely you are not holding them responsible for not "doing enough to curb their kin's criminality" type BS i hope we agree that'd be at best plain silly, at worst, approaching "collective punishment" type mindset and we know where that leads, while they like anyone living there would prob give an arm to get rid of all the proliferating murderous thugs forever question is: why is this happening? why have you guys ALLOWED heavily weaponized gangs and gang culture to proliferate in the US? and am not even talking about "blacks" here, LA bloods and crips etc... there is MS-13 etc... your in favour of allowing people to acquire and carry weapons liberally... great... i too think weapons, semi-automatics preferably, is the 1st thing one needs in modern urban life... so that everybody can play the great spraying game, why not... ever been to Beyrouth, Luanda etc... fun cities! have a good week-end...
