They do? You never met a black person with feet firmly planted on the ground? Or do you mean statistically? The problem with the people you have run into is one of history and culture. Black people in America were first treated like trash and then like babies who could do no wrong. So in some circles they have built up a cynical “gangster culture”, and many people (whites and black) let them get away with it. Notice the way they treat the cops who have been interacting with them lately. Gangster cultures exist in several areas of Europe as well by they way.
I disagree. It has a lot to do with culture. Many of the refugees you mention aren't even blacks. They are often Syrians or from North Africa. Genetically, they are the same people who built some of the most ancient civilizations in the Middle-East. Africans are actually genetically more diverse than any other continent.
In America the last decades, it's as if blacks have been given that self-help book (from the film "How to Be") called "It's Not Your Fault", and that's not helping anyone. People need to be held accountable without useful idiots on the sidelines screaming oppression.
That is a load of BS. Every civilization builds on previous ones. It is also about interconnections more than anything. Northern Europe was full of hunter-gatherers and primitive farmers at the time, while the people were mostly the same. Violence was everywhere, including Europe. Did the genetics dramatically change? No it didn't.
I mean Africans are more *genetically *diverse, literally. Look it up.
Europeans are even worse than Americans. I should know, I am from there myself. Sweden and Germany have been keeling over for anyone deemed an "oppressed minority" so as not to seem racist.
I’m black and am conservative (my parents passed that down to my siblings and I) so I can definitely confirm what you said about being called traitor/Uncle Tom. I was even called a white supremacist for voting for Trump.
I’m well aware of the stats and hate that they are ignored by the media. I’d say culture is to blame and the fact that since the 60s out of wedlock birth rates have skyrocketed. Another culprit is affirmative action and the never ending lowering of standards and excuse making. I think if whites in academia stopped being guilty and held black kids to the same standards that would be a major improvement. Also the nonsense that is glorified and the way rioting and looting is condoned infuriates me.
I just look at people as individuals and at this point do t associate with people who have a victim mentality.
I could go on and on. Do you have a direct message?
Culture is the hardest part. "Black culture" targets black kids, specifically and successfully. Being told you're acting white isn't such a powerful deterrent if you're, y'know, white (self-loathing soy bois notwithstanding) and all the rest. And vice versa non-black kids trying to participate in the culture are more often scorned and disrespected than welcomed.
So long as there's a thriving culture recruiting people largely based on both skin color and a willingness to conform to the culture, then the outcomes and effects of that culture become more and more superficially entwined with the skin color the more popular the culture becomes. Once it becomes mainstream then you end up with a lot more people taking the asshole route of the OP and just treating the skin colour differences as the sole cause of any self-sabotaging and destructive behaviour differences, rather than a targeting vector of a subculture that glorifies and encourages those behaviours, because, "eh, the stats mostly just line up with skin color" (if you squint enough to miss the details).

Well said sir. Thank you.
