They were caught when the Quoddy boat shoe lost by one of the young men in the getaway was traced back to the last kept on file at the factory in Maine.

Now that would be a story!

Part of this has to do with the fathers getting arrested, but this is largely a cultural problem. Many black women feel no need to have a father figure for their kids or to get married. This NBC article does a GREAT job covering this issue.

The legacy of segregation, the logic goes, means blacks are more likely to attend inferior schools. This creates a high proportion of blacks unprepared to compete for jobs in today's economy, where middle-class industrial work for unskilled laborers has largely disappeared.

The drug epidemic sent disproportionate numbers of black men to prison, and crushed the job opportunities for those who served their time. Women don't want to marry men who can't provide for their families, and welfare laws created a financial incentive for poor mothers to stay single.

I think that if there is a problem strictly related to "black culture" then I think you would have to consider all the factors that contribute to it. Others have mentioned slavery but one should also consider institutional racism, slanted court systems, poverty and lack of parental guidance. Of the 8 people I have helped the police catch and arrest 5 were Hispanic, 2 were white and 1 was black.

Ok, so at least you admit you were incorrect trying to say that at one point, Italians had committed the majority of the crimes.

It's not about poverty because as I pointed out, West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the country yet also has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.

What it's about is culture. Specifically African American culture. It is a problem. And yes, it is an actual thing.

It's not about race because as many people don't know, there is a large rift between Africans and African Americans. Specifically, Africans look down on African Americans. They seem them as lazy, unwilling to educate themselves, squandering their opportunities, and willing to blame the white man about everything.

Is it "racist" when it is Africans who hold these beliefs?

Everything I just said can be verified through Google searches but here are some examples:

There have been arrests:

Four men were arrested and charged with murder in the terrifying carjacking of a young New Jersey man in a mall parking lot, authorities said.

Bail was set at $2 million for Karif Ford, 31, Basim Henry, 32, and Kevin Roberts, 33, all of Newark, and Hanif Thompson, 29, of Irvington, in the point-blank shooting of Dustin Friedland, 30, as his wife looked on.

Take it easy, boss. It?s your own fault that your posts invite such an unflattering perception of your disposition and world view, especially when you stand behind a ridiculous, coded term like ?reverse racism,? are so quick to get nasty with others, and resort to adolescent name-calling. If you?re not a racist, express yourself better if you don?t want to pass the duck test.
