my responce to the statement that some races are more violent than others

i wont hold it against you.
as rescently as the 1960s prejudice against races other than white have been very prominent. When a black person can't get a good job, it is impossible for them to put themselves, or their children through college. Undereducated people are more likely to resort to violence. They are also more likely to have to work multiple minimum wage jobs simply to support their family. There is a cycle called the cycle of poverty. and with that i take you back 50 years. Blacks got less education than whites because plenty of schools were still segregated. It was also considered okay to pay a black less on the job than a white. So they were undereducated working 60 hours a week to support their faimly. Living in a bad neighborhood because it was all they could afford. This person has children who they raise in this "not so great" of a neighborhood. They cant afford to get a nanny for their kids. and they work so often that no one is around to spend time with this child. The child goes to school (non-segregated at this point) and receives a good education. But the child doesnt eat well at home because they cant afford it. He goes to a school in the ghetto because its where he lives. His parents were undereducated.. meaning they never taught him not to resort to violence. As he gets older he roams the streets with his friends while his parents work their minimum wage jobs. They all come from the same types of back grounds and when trouble starts to brew... they dont know how to deal with the situation properly.. so they fight. He will never go to college.... cant afford it. He might work for more than minimum wage but not by much.. a black kid from a bad area with no college doesnt get paid much. So he gets a low paying job where he has to work rediculous hours as well. He grows up to live in a not so great neighborhood with not so great neighbors. His kids will grow up going to a questionable public school, hanging out with kids who have parents just like him, and just like him they will never be taught proper ways to deal with violence. And the cycle continues.

Racism may not be the issue now that it used to be, but we're still dealing with the effects of the way we acted prior to the 60's.
