integration is where the whites say blacks can come in, but then they leave
Today's Fresh Air, by an interesting coincidence, had a segment on handgun violence in Philadelphia, and an organization formed by some people there in order to combat it.

Reading between the lines -- and this is something that a cop would tell you but it's not polite to mention when you're being PC, one of the biggest demographic factors in gun violence is black on black, young black men in "inner cities", which are racially and economically segregated, no longer de jure but still de facto, and it's not getting better. Gang related, drug related, or just getting pissed off after an argument.
According to FBI statistics, white people kill white people, black people kill black people, interracial violence is very rare.
I've never seen any statistics on how many murderers and murder victims come from homes without a father present. That would be very interesting.
How many other "developed" countries have a large underclass of unmarried women with children by multiple fathers living in abject poverty? Places like South Central LA and the island of Jamaica with 80% unwed mothers also have horrendous murder rates.
Maybe there's no cause and effect here but I have a hard time believing it.
In contrast, in Scandinavian countries with high out of wedlock birth rates, but low crime rates, the mothers don't live in poverty. Is it because these countries are "homogenous" or is "homogenous" code for these women being integrated into society instead of segregated? |
