Any why are PoC concentrated in these areas? Racist lending practices, redlining, racial covenants, and so on. Stuff that goes back around a CENTURY.


I didnt claim otherwise. I was merely obecting to the claim that "racist" practices in contemporary policing are to be blamed.
More generally speaking, I reject the notion that blacks being underprivileged is proof for the existence of "systemic racism" in the present day.

Redlining doesnt happen without reason.

If your credit score is lower, you wont be able to get a loan. Its simple causation and even the bible talks about this.

Failing to understand these common sense patterns caused the 08’ recession.

Yeah, that reason is racism.

Credit scores weren't even a thing until the 1950s.

I dont think that selective policing is the root of the higher homicide rates among blacks. The bulk of homicides are committed in a gang context, and gang violence is more prevalent in poor/underprivileged neighborhoods where people of color are concentrated.


It's a web of causes. Gangs are a result of lacking economic opportunity which has at leat a partial cause in selective policing and sentencing.

holy molly you get so triggered.

and yeah, you're right, black on black crime is so high because "they are specifically targeted by the legal system with more convictions, harsher punishments, and lack of opportunity".

:)))


So I give a thought out response and all you can respond with is "you're triggered"?

I do believe you are in fact the one who is triggered. Facts and logic care not for your emotional state.
