MDC 5,895 Posted June 18, 2013 I'm surprised Philly and Camden aren't on the list, and at how few are cities in the Northeast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Moz 69 Posted June 18, 2013 Finding the common thread is considered racist by some on this bored. High numbers of Blacks = high numbers of crime. To those that say NO - hopw dare you - you racist savage. Okay please be the first then to point me to the mostly Black area that has low crime? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To those that say NO - hopw dare you - you racist savage. Okay please be the first then to point me to the mostly Black area that has low crime? the common thread is poverty, segregation and manufacturing jobs that have left the cities. there are many, many cities that are mostly populated by blacks that are safe. those areas also happen to be wealthy ones.

timschochet 3 Posted June 19, 2013 the common thread is poverty, segregation and manufacturing jobs that have left the cities. there are many, many cities that are mostly populated by blacks that are safe. those areas also happen to be wealthy ones. Alright, name these "many, many cities that are mostly populated by blacks that are safe. those areas also happen to be wealthy ones". Also, it's not poverty. West Virginia and rural Vermont are extremely poor. Crime is minimal there. The trite line that poverty creates crime is cliche. Crime creates poverty because business and industrious people flee the war zone. As far as segregation goes, Asians were exceptionally segregated throughout American history and many continue to reside in Chinatowns. Chinatown and Asian crime in general is minimal.

GobbleDog 816 Posted June 19, 2013 It's not just culture. It's mainly genetics. It's culture. Black Americans suffer from bad habits and poor ethics passed down from generation to generation. Peenie is right that the real correlation in those cities is poverty. And I agree with loss of manufacturing jobs. But the part about "segregation".?. Sounds like Al Sharpton anger retoric.

jerryskids 5,209 Posted June 19, 2013 Does Buffalo have a lot of black people? Also, the whole "drug corridor" thing got a bit old. Umm, yeah, it is a big city, which means roads go through it to other places, so it is a corridor. Phoenix and Dallas are big drug corridors; didn't see them listed.
