VIOLENCE AND THE WORKING CLASS WHITE MALE

Always been used by Elite White, a violent people

Throughout U.S. history, white men’s anxieties over their manhood and social class help explain many violent attacks on Black people, whom the perpetrators blame for denying them their rightful privileges.

I think black on black crime is a more serious issue!

Don't you think that societal pressures and injustices practiced by White males contribute to the level of Black on Black crime in mainly under-funded minority areas? Over the last 400 years White men have practiced more crimes than anyone else. Slavery, the stealing of lands, stolen labour, genocides, ethnic cleansing, cancelling of cultures and native languages are all crimes against humanity.

Black is not the only minority - say a prayer for the Red Indians!

White on white? Aren’t there more of them with more guns hence more crime on black, brown and each other?
Did you watch The Chorlotville Tiki Torch March’ and next day violence, are you brainwashed? Sorry forgot you wouldn’t realize.

Bro, at some stage in our development, we have to take responsibility for ourselves!

My point is black on black crime is a more serious issue, at least to me!

Crime is crime, is crime. The greater the societal conditions that promote it the more there is.
Criminal minds exist yes, societal conditions are greater contributors

What is a red indian ?that is a very outdated term which is not historically accurate in the first place .native americans have limited authority over the areas that were given to them by the us government which is significantly less than what they were promised .these reservations suffer from the same social blight that you find in inner city communities in black and latino communities. addiction ,crime,high levels of unemployment ,and low levels of higher education and lack of government funding.
So i do believe that people should be accountable for what they do. you can"t ignore the aspects that put them there either.

Notice how quickly rust-belt and coal-mining Appalachian areas that have lost jobs devolve into higher crime and drug addiction. Compare that with 400yrs of deprivation. Why are black people concentrated in certain areas instead of there being "spelled, polka-dotted" communities? 400yrs vs 2 generations

Black people? First they came for the indigenous people.
The good news for humanity is that they are outnumbered. We won’t be around to see it, but between China and India ‘dis done’.
