the root cause of black crime is black culture. Rap music, drill music, glorification of violence, demeaning of women as bitches and hoes, contempt for education, I can go on and on.
The argument that "racism" is the cause is flat out bullshit, as the East Asian demographic also experiences widespread racism yet they routinely succeed because of their culture. Their cultural value of decency, manners, respect for education, & family units.
I don't understand why many people try so hard to avoid this extremely simple observation. You can normalize crime with socioeconomic status and come up with the same result, black people commit more crime.

In 1970's non-martial births for blacks were in the ~35% range. Today they are around 65%. We as a society are getting less racist and less likely to cage someone just because their skin color. For your theory to hold true as we are getting less racist, less likely to unfairly incarcerate blacks the trend of non-marital births would be trending downwards no? Instead it doubled in the last 50 years. Idk maybe you think we're somehow more racist today than in the 1970's.

That's why if you overlay the graph I posted above with a chart of welfare spending since the 60s you'll see a very similar pattern. This isn't just true for blacks but true for all races as is evidenced above.
Now I'm not here to argue against fighting poverty through the expansion of the social welfare program because frankly that's jus too complex of a topic and not my initial point.
I'm pro-family and pro-critical thinking,
not simply defaulting to the popular du jour safe take of why things are they way they are.you've been assuming i'm doing that all along, which is odd given that i offered a varied solution to the issue from housing to cj to education, while also saying we likely cant bear the cost because it's too high.
if we all agree it's a problem, and it is, i'm simply saying here's what the govt can do to fix it. if your answer is that the media is the one who need to fix it, then you're a fool, because the media doesnt want to fix problems, they want more problems. and we cant excuse CEOs for maximizing profits in all industries and then hold the media to a different standard. they are a business, not a public service. if they were we wouldnt have the first amendment for press.
