Where does the majority of crime happen? Rich or poor neighborhoods?

in the neighborhoods where criminals prey on the innocent and each other. Poverty does not cause crime. Greed, envy, lack of self discipline, poor parenting, broken families, drugs… these cause crime. There are more poor people who do not commit crimes than there are poor people who do. Poverty is not the cause.

Police don’t actually stop crime. Crime has a direct correlation with poverty. BLM thinks that is they get more direct, targeted, funding that they can lower crime rates… without more enforcement.

…and the correlation is a father figure, not being present to teach that crime is wrong. What should happen is that the father is a shining example of sacrificing himself for the benefit of his family. He is a provider and leader, along with the mother. They team up for the benefit of those they brought into the world. When people practice the difference between a one night stand and a life time commitment, the offspring benefit.

@Smyrna

What is it you’re attempting to say regarding “right to life”? I’m not following?

They are called “right to life” but their mission statement focuses on abortion and assisted suicide.

Why not crime? War? Sex trafficking etc?

I’ve never seen a conservative or a lib demand that they expand their mission statement.

@PurpnGold

Why specifically does BLM need to address this? They told you their platform, why do you want it to expand?

It’s the elephant in the room. It’s far bigger than the focused issue you (generic protesters) vandalize property over. Your deliberate choice to focus elsewhere just makes you look like wilding vandals.

You said SAME CRIME. They’re different, so you don’t even know what you’re arguing.

No they are not. They are both forms of cocaine.

I posted their demands… that is what they stand for, that is what they want. Why should they change for offended white conservatives?

It isn’t about “white conservatives”, it’s about “black lives matter”. If…this is true, you’d migrate to the largest contributor of this problem that’s being attempted to be solved and get started. It’s totally being overlooked because the truth is, it isn’t that black lives matter, it’s about outwardly pointing fingers at things that aren’t actually problematic**, in an effort to overlook introspection of the actual problems**…and that’s totaly chicken ■■■■■ It takes a courageous soul to look with in and admit, there’s a problem that needs to be addressed.

There’s only 100+ years of introspection in literature alone about the problems within the black community. From the halls of academia and the streets all the way to the pulpit and community center. It has been done, it’s continuing to be done.

Poverty is not the cause.

And there are more black people who don’t commit crimes than black people who do. Same with white people.

That wasn’t my point.

Where is most crime committed, rich or poor neighborhoods?

You are ignoring the commercial intent of crack.

It has been rectified, has it not?

Always look elsewhere. Blame someone else.

There is no integrity in the BLM movement.

Indeed. Systemic racism is a problem that needs to be acknowledged and addressed.

Depends on the crime. Where is the most policing done?

Fixed. Next.

Not for marijuana related crimes. The same disparity exists.

Nobody is in prison today for possession of marijuana.

Corey J. Ladd, for instance, was previously convicted of small amounts of LSD and hydrocodone. He was arrested for having half an ounce of weed in his car in New Orleans during a 2011 traffic stop. At this point, he understandably feared the worst. However, no one could have predicted the ridiculous 17-year prison sentence he received in 2013.

Yes…“game” seems like a misnomer huh? It’s hardly a game…

But my point is that it is much more the exception than the rule for the Majority of the black Community you not agree?

Who else am I blaming with this question?

If you’re a part of the problem, you can fix it this very day? You can do that, if you choose? I have fought racism all of my life and have enjoyed observing the positive results that many contributed to that we are witnessing today.

Black intellectuals and academics have been apart of the discussion since the 1800s.

Where the majority of crime exists, poor neighborhoods.
