Does poverty make men commit more crime?
Yeah, that's what I was trying to ask.

That's not explaining the 9300 blacks killed by other blacks yearly.
If the reason isn't "poverty" what is the reason for this FACT?

@secularmerlin
Poor people do get convicted of more crime and people of color are disproportionally affected by poverty
How is poverty causing 9300 blacks to be killed by other blacks?

Putting aside your opinion that Blacks don't commit more crimes, how do you explain the disproportional amount of dead people?
Created:

@secularmerlin
Honestly I don't know what your position is, you obviously know Blacks commit a huge disproportional amount of crime, especially murders. You've seen the numbers.
That means police are going to have a LOT more instances with Police encountering Black criminals than White criminals. What do you expect the statistics to look like?

You want the amount killed by police? sure.
241 out of 9913 Black murders were done by cops in 2020.
Lets run that percentage...that comes out to 2.43% A tiny source of all murders of Blacks. Most of the 241 justified against armed and dangerous mostly male assailants vs the 9300 killed by other blacks...victims which include many Black women and Black kids.
That's the main reason 81% of Blacks polled want more police, not less. The major oppressor of blacks is overwhelmingly other blacks.
That's a real problem and ignored by most of America for what reason exactly? Why do you think 81% of Blacks think this way about police?

The number of people of color killed by police versus the number of white victims adjusted by population.
I have the stats of the sheer number of POC killed in 2020 to show you the massive cultural problem going on within the ethnic community itself.
So that you can understand it's not the police POC have to be afraid of, it's other POC in 93 percent of the cases.
Police make up a tiny fraction of Black killings but you obviously already knew that. right? If you want to know just how small I can look it up for you.
Also if you look at polls like this:
81% of POC don't see police as the problem.
Most of the beef with police comes from privileged whites who don't live in an area that contributes to 10,000 dead blacks and 9300 dead from other blacks.(from that FBI stat link earlier)
So I ask a final time...who exactly is oppressing who here?

Tell me how the hell Nigerian Americans as a cultural ethnic group managed to be the top of the pack in a "systemically racist" nation?
Tell me EXACTLY how that happened.
I can tell you right now there is no greater oppressor to a Black man in America than another fellow black man.
90% of all major violence in Democrat cities is black on black crime. When you see the statistics it should make you think hard about who is actually oppressing who.
White murder victims from 2020: 7,029
Black murder victims from 2020: 9,913
The latest FBI report, which analyzes Homicide Trends in the U.S. between 1980-2008, found that within that period “most murders were intraracial”, with 84% of white victims killed by whites and 93% of Black victims killed by Black perpetrators.
So out of the nearly 10,000 blacks murdered about 9300 were killed by other African Americans.
That's 13% of the ethnic population doing the MAJORITY of crime AGAINST themselves. Exactly who is oppressing who?
Created:

@secularmerlin
You mean the systematically oppressed?
No, I mean the systemically protected toxic cultural classes that are rewarded for bad social behaviors. Like not going to school and stealing and having kids out of wedlock and persistent drug use.
Nigerian Americans don't have these problems because they were never systemically protected, so they had to face consequences for bad life choices and had to be responsible for themselves. None of them are oppressed either.
That is the exact reason why Nigerian Americans are the number one class in America right now all across the board from wealth to social capital, far exceeding White and Asian Americans and of course, their "brothers" the African American protected cultural class.

We live in a de facto matriarchal society.
A single mother is the best a man can get according to Gillette.
80% of Divorces initiated by women...all are awarded money and resources to reward a hypergamous woman's instinct to monkey branch.
Briffault’s law maintains that “the female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.”

Us and Them.
Biological adaptation of all animals on land air and sea. It's called herding, an adaptation from billions of years of evolution, without which you would not exist.
Selfishness
Biological adaptation of all animals on land air and sea. It's called natural selection forming preservation adaptations from billions of years of evolution, without which you would not exist.
Survival.
The Hamlet raison detre....
As individuals we tend not to think much further than the ends of our noses.
The largest amount of people you can actually biologically have in your brain at a time is 150. With 8 billion people on the planet, you will have to exclude a shit ton of them due to the biological disabilities of your brain. Humans haven't evolved yet to behave like an ant colony. Most of human society can only function on smaller tribal scales due to biological limitations.
We move forwards in intellectual output.
We are actually reaching the limits of individual breakthroughs. Most advancements only come from teams and at much slower rates than before. The only path forward, if you cant wait millions of years for natural selection, is either AI or radical genetic manipulation and eugenics.
But are almost stationary as individuals.
Plenty of people do just fine alone.
And change very slowly as a collective.
Biological limitations of small herd scale persist within the human brain. Dunbar's number is a nasty limitation to a one world dream.
Will we get there?
In a few million years maybe. Faster if robots and AI remove our biological limitations.
Assuming that we need to get somewhere.
Survival and evolution are persistent traits of all life.

If the USA goes bankrupt, I am sure every other country will surely allow BS asylum claims for free stuffs. One world rules, no regrets.
Surely Canada will reverse its current policy of rejecting over half the wealth seekers at the points of entry...surely....if only we just bleed the USA a little bit more.
That should appease the mob.

"When, therefore, capital is converted into common property, into the property of all members of society, personal property is not thereby transformed into social property. It is only the social character of the property that is changed.
All privately owned property can be classified as capital by central planners. There's the rub.
A prisoner takes a spoon and hides it under the bed. This promotes wealth inequality. The spoon must be recovered and set back into the purview of social property.

It’s official — A record-breaking total of 1.7 million apprehensions of illegal immigrants along the southern border in Fiscal Year 2021, according to just-released Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) data. It is the highest ever annual total recorded and highlights the manufactured crisis President Biden created but continues to ignore.
CBP detained a total of 1,734,686 illegal immigrants attempting to cross the southwest border in the fiscal year 2021, which began in October 2020 and ended on Sept. 30, 2021 — numbers that soared to the highest levels ever recorded and breaking numbers reported last seen back in 1986. The most recent time for border arrest was over one million was back in FY2006, when border patrol apprehended 1,071,972 migrants.

Now imagine this work prison is on an island and has to provide for itself.
Then it checks all the boxes.
communism is not equality.From each according to their ability is equity not equality.
When I said "no tension due to inequality," I meant due to wealth inequality as prisoners are not allowed to own anything.

@BigPimpDaddy
Okay imagine a prison work camp, something along the lines Russia had.
You have the central planners running the prison camp and the prisoners are all treated equally and all work as they can. There's no private property and no inequality among the prisoners. The few central planners are tolerated for living nicely because they have the incredibly hard job of centrally planning everything.
All work is orchestrated by central planners and performed by prisoners. A perfect communist symphony. All needs are met and there's no tension due to inequality.

It would probably make child support unconstitutional too. Imagine a world where you can't force a body to labor for another body against their will.
Love to see the lawyers hash that out. The "Right to keep your body from unwillingly supporting others" could go a VERY long way.
It would be a landmark win for men's rights, as currently, there's no option for men to terminate an unwanted fetus. But with a "right to body" clause in the constitution, men can keep the government from mandating 18 years of support vs the 9 months a woman endures.

Any functioning society has to be founded on some form of bigoted laws, customs or cultures.
For example, bigoted people won't tolerate rape on trains or burning women in the street for showing their face.
Bigotry has gotten a really bad rap lately in the media, but it's actually the cornerstone of every nation. After all, isn't EVERY law on the books bigoted in some way (intolerant) toward a specific behavior or action?
I usually view most people who claim to be tolerant and "not bigoted" to be mostly full of crap and virtue signaling, because there's a line you can push anyone over no matter who they are or where they are from.

Gold’s correlation to inflation has been relatively low... around a .15 correlation if you look at the ROI graphs over the past half century. Gold has a bad history and it deserves the bad rep.
I love the armchair investors who bring up gold like it's the standard (pun intended) for gauging inflation and the trending value of the dollar for investors.

In case you already forgot, this conversation began because you tried to argue that the inflation we are seeing is a product of Biden’s policies.
That's my bad. I didn't mean to lead you to believe Biden has authorship of anything. Especially when it comes to Fed policies.
If you have that belief already, then that's your fault.

I'll have to find the clip, the Board member didn't like what was being said so she took some of the allotted time away by talking over her.
It might be a minor thing, but it's not a good look for public discourse when you are promised x amount of time to talk and they take it away.

I know of a few clips I had seen where a woman's time was cut short because the board member kept talking over her instead of letting her speak. They didn't cut the mic before the time allotted though, sorry if that was unclear. They did shut her mic off when she asked for her time back.

Like they want to have racist or bigoted views, but do not want anyone to dislike them for it.
When school board members shut the mics off of protesters of CRT, that was much more of a violation of government authority over public discussion than an instance of a private company protecting itself from saboteurs.
The government should fear the people, not the other way around.

The American public is terrible. It really is about party allegiance and nothing else. We came a long way from every single human seeing Reagan had dementia late in his presidency that crossed political barriers, to now democrats refusing to see it, when Biden’s dementia early into his presidency is worse than Reagan dementia was his last year of presidency.
I was a kid when the USA went through the period of Reagan dementia. It was an uncertain time.
In today's global economy, uncertainty has real and predictable consequences.

Lol, you sent me to a propaganda opinion site to correct me on your lack of economic knowledge regarding dollar valuation?
You realize you can have product shortages and LOWER prices as well depending on how much the dollar is valued? (hint: try reading a history book)
Whatever, it's the 38 percenters like you that I rely on for my investments, and your stubbornness gives me comfort in my hedge investments against the policies you support..
Keep pulling that 1 arm bandit. I am sure it will pay off one day with the right narrative. The scribbled collective knowledge of the 38 percenters of Fed monetary policies and who is really in charge in DC could probably fit on the back of a cereal box.
Investors don't have the luxury of believing in fantasies, we accept the world as it is, and we profit off the people who do not.
I also don't know why you are bringing in Trump or Biden into discussions about the real power in DC (hint: it's nobody anyone elects)
When I say "Lets go Brandon," I truly expect things to continue as planned in DC, not because I think anything about a single person.
So Let's go Brandon!

If that’s what’s driving down the dollar...
It literally doesn't In fact it does the opposite because it's a hedge against inflation.
If DC chose to stop printing money right now, crypto would seriously decline in value, or at least slow down in growth as the dollar regained relative value. But I have strong faith in DC's ability to fuck things up and I am prospering greatly because of it.
All you guys betting on DC to take care of you are like addicts walking into a Casino. You'll never win. Unless you know the dealer.
