Pertinent quote from the results section of the publication:
Most people who come from a socio-economically less favorable background do not commit more crime than people who come from a more favorable background, and it also happens that people from a more favorable background do commit crime. This means that even if there is a connection between socio-economic background and involvement in crime, that connection is weak. It is not possible to appreciably predict who will commit crimes based on knowledge of people's socio-economic background.

The bigger factor is fatherless homes. The black community was far more functional before LBJ and no fault divorce made welfare queen a feasible career option for black women. The real question is how the white community stayed somewhat functional when feminism started destroying their families. Some of it is surely IQ, but again the blacks weren't always like this, at least to the extent they are now.
Black apologetics is tiresome.

Yes, tell me more about the single mothers please.
Somebody here recommended the documentary Empire of Dust (2011), where a Chinese company gets a contract to rebuild a road between two major cities in Congo(?).
It's pretty hard to watch because you feel bad for those poor Chinese guys trying to get the locals to do anything right.
There's one poignant exchange where the lead Chinaman is shaming them for letting the road go to shit, the workers say it's not their fault the French came and built the road but left and didn't maintain it for them, and the Chinese guy I forget what he said but he's like 'are you fucking serious? it's your country how can you let it go to shit like this'.
27 retards upvoted the 28th retard. Where did he mention Africa? You posted something only somewhat related and acted smug about it. I hate to break it to you but majority of black Americans are of European descent and are generations removed from Africa. Now if you'd posted about how black crime rates were still higher than white crime rates in the early 1900s that'd be one thing but instead you posted "ha africa" as if that proves anything to people with functioning brains.
in other news, up is down, wrong is right, and left is right.
Lol right? We got a kangz here.
Liberia says "hi" numbnuts.
Interesting that you can make these claims based on animals that have a 5,000 to 10,000 year history of domestication compared to those that have not been subject to that process.
If the situation were swapped, we'd be hearing today about how Europeans had an unfair advantage because they had Zebras that are so easy to domesticate while the Africans had to deal with bullshit horses.
Oh look, it's the Jared Diamond argument.
I used to buy it, but when I started thinking about it, it quickly fell apart. The cow is not a naturally occurring animal. It was domesticated from the now extinct Aurochs over the course of millennia.
Similarly, wild horses (considered an endangered species) are not the same as their domesticated counterparts, and you won't have an easy time trying to train one to pull a cart or let you ride on its back - although, crucially, just as with the Zebra, it is possible. Just difficult and dangerous.
The domesticated species prevalent across Eurasia are man-made creations born through the ingenuity and efforts of countless generations of determined, prehistoric animal handlers to contend with that difficulty and danger of controlling a wild animal - a class of people that never came into existence in Sub-Saharan Africa until European and Arab incursion.
Africa's problem is the one problem you are not allowed to talk about: Average IQ.
You can't have developed country when half (or more) of your population has an IQ under 85 and is literally incapable of pondering a conditional hypothetical.
You can make the same case for all of Europe.
Again the same for the entirety of Europe, by your argument, West Asians are the Supreme race with Mesopotamia
Once again Mesopotamia and Asia.
You're ignoring the reality that Eurasian populations, when they encounter a new technology invented by another tribe, they instantly understand its value, and rapidly learn to reproduce it.
Today, even the act of building a bridge over a river is something Africans struggle with without the instruction of a foreign engineer.
That’s not what was being argued, and even under that sentiment you would have to remove have of Asia as they fall in the same category as Africa in that regard. Mesopotamia was the origin of every technology that was listed there and then later spread through Europe.
By that logic, those technologies should have been passed to Africa through Egypt and contact with the Nubians and Ethiopians, who regularly traded both with the African interior and with the Egyptians. No?
Which is why iron tools from the Iron Age were found as far south as Tanzania…
I have a feeling that IQ plays a bigger role than we might initially think. Why else would wealthy black people commit more crime than poor whites?
We all know that most black people have an extremely short fuse. They are ready to throw their life away over the smallest sign of disrespect.
I think natural inclination for violence is probably separate from IQ. I remember one study where some gene that makes people more violent was found to be much more prevalent in black people.
yup it's combination of low iq and low impulse control. there are plenty of low iq people in India and Asia, they also commit more crimes than the average, but not at the level of blacks
Definitely.
I went to a school that was almost exclusively white (it has since been radically diversified) and there were the same number of violent assholes in the top classes as there were in the bottom ones.
They made better decisions about where and when to jump you, and had a better idea of how much they could get away with without the school escalating the incident to the police, but they were absolutely just as inclined to violence as their dumber counterparts.
They were about 1 in 15 students.
The warrior gene. I want to take a test and see if I have got it. Just for shits and giggles.
They need to call it the KANGZ gene.
There’s two factors I think that led to that, the first is that almost the entirety of “rural populations” are “white” or European, which has allowed for a social congruence without outside influences dominating them. This is why churches are still social bastions in many rural areas. The second one is that Eastern Europeans that immigrated to the US due to communism noped the fuck out of the social engineering just as we are currently seeing with Cubans in Florida.
Unfortunately, rural areas have a bunch of single mothers, opioids, and tatted/ pierced up men and women now. The white community in America isn't far behind the black now.
It still depends on where you go, but the drug trade definitely decimated a lot of rural locations, almost like it was intentional…
These damn blue collar tweekers are runnin this here town
Can you elaborate on this? I am not familiar with what this is about but I am interested.
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/10/02/most-cuban-american-voters-identify-as-republican-in-2020/
Cubans are a revival of anti communist sentiments and are the most “conservative” of Hispanic voting blocks, this has allowed republicans to basically make a stranglehold on Florida in former liberal areas and what has allowed DeSantis and the Florida state legislature to act so boldly in what used to be a purple state
I see, it's like Romanians being very anti communist thanks to Ceausescu. Thanks for information.
The Cuban exile population in places like Miami is full of anti-communists and opponents of the Cuban regime. They oppose and 'nope out' of leftist indoctrination, since it's ruined their homeland in living memory. 'Once burned, twice shy,' as they say.
Since the Castro's were cause celebre among the left (See Justin Castro, up in Cannukistan) that particular segment of the Latino demographic skew right and Catholic in statistically significant ways.
It's a powerful ethnic voting block in Florida as a result.
Both factors correlating to a rise in crime sounds perfectly consistent to me. If you imagine that black and white aggregate IQ scores are both represented by bell curves, with one lower than the other, it's reasonable that the lower group will be more negatively affected by weakening cultural traditions that made up for its deficits. The higher group will also be weakened, but less so. One community becoming "somewhat functional" in fatherless homes, the other being utterly destroyed.
A more important question is how much stronger would white families be today if they hadn't been scattered into isolated individuals, with the men made emasculated and subservient to women's concerns?
Yeah was it though? I was looking up crime stats to fact check that "lead causes crime" thing and it turns out in the 1920s there was as much crime as the peak of the supposedly lead-induced crime wave.
Probably have to go to the library of congress and actually read a book to find out the demographics, but I have a hunch...
Also found out the number of black vs white lynchings was virtually the same demographically as today's violent crime ratio - at least in OK. And the Tulsa thing where a functioning black area self-destructed over nothing basically, pretty much identical to Detroit a year before Civil Rights Act.
