    this is not a racial characteristic

    it is most likely a cultural characteristic

    in which case it is learned behavior

    In Singapore the percapita GDP is $52,200. In the United States it is $46,000. In Hong Kong it is $42,800.
    https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html?countryName=United%20States&countryCode=us&regionCode=na&rank=11#us

    However, why are they wealthy? They certainly do not have a lot of natural resources. Also, with a percapita GDP of 3,100 India has a murder rate of 0.0344083 per 1,000 people. In the United States it is 0.042802 per 1,000 people.

    Your right, it has to be because not that many blacks live there and has nothing to do with all the tourism.

    Your concept of economics if terrible. How about the fact there's basically no homelessness in Singapore or Hong Kong. Over 80% of people in Singapore live in nice government apartments, and they're not like the section 8 housing here. Easy to have no crime when there's near no ghettos. Sure there's income disparity, but you don't see something like LA or Manhattan where you have say Comptom where people are living in ghettos and can barely feed themselves, and can look up into the hills and see homes worth $20 million.

    This is the bottom line.

    The problem here is the egocentric and ethnocentric points of view of The Scribe and Elijah. Neither of these gentlemen have the ability to see, let alone understand, the world from the prospective of someone who is not just like them. They have no understanding of the desperation and resignation of those who are trapped in poverty as were their parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so on.

    But hey, if feeling superior is what they need to get them through the day, go for it. Maybe some day they'll come to terms with their own inadequacies and grow up. But, for now, this is starting to go in circles and I'm getting tired of the same statistics and dogmatic disparagements being repeated over and over.

    btw....most "Indians" do not get "checks" and the ones who do deserve the payments for their oil or the earnings from their casinos.

    Only if J.Dahmer is doing the cooking.... :D


    Maybe the best way to deal with a racist is, instead of provoking them, try ignoring them. Think about this for a bit.


    If people want to preach this stuff it sure would be nice if they actually practiced it as well.

    Brutha!


    I have heard "gangstas" brag about all the crimes they commit, and then express their discontent with where their lives have gone. They talk about how they were pushed into being gangsta by a variety of causes- maybe the cops, maybe the schools, and maybe because their parents didn't care. But they rarely pay attention to who the blame really falls on- themselves.

    The human need for companionship is often a key factor for gang membership.
    How many join a gang so they can do dope? A few, I'm sure.
    And so they can commit crimes? Again, a few.
    But how many join a gang to be accepted?

    I know of black engineers that could whoop "The Scribe" in math. Their degrees in engineering were not handed to them because of their color. They worked for it. They earned it.

    You can't answer my arguments, so you disparage my character.

    I would like to add that the black crime rate was lower before the civil rights legislation was signed. If desperation and resignation lead blacks to crime, there must have been more of it back then.

    My question was: Why are the people of Singapore and Hong King so prosperous? Those areas are not rich in natural resources. Africa is rich in natural resources, but the people are poor.

    India has much more poverty than the United States, and a lower crime rate.

    Learn some history, they became rich by being in strategic locations(why do you think the British took them to begin with), with much more favorable economic policies and already in place infrastructure compared to neighbouring countries.

    You should also know that in countries like India crime often goes under reported due to lack of infrastructure and lack of overall caring. Someone gets mugged in Oregon for they're going to go to the police, regular Indian man gets mugged in bumblefuck India he knows the police aren't going to do anything.

    Not to mention if your theories are right why are white countries leading the pact on this:

    It's gonna be funny when you use my argument of crime being more reported in western nations.

    I've already addressed your arguments, in 2 threads. Your arguments are tired, boring, juvenile and show a complete lack of education and a refusal to see past the "whites" of your own eyes. Sorry I feel this way, but I just don't have the patience to keep arguing with child-like minds unable to understand anything past a sound-byte. Take it as a disparagement if you like, but it's just what I see here.

    If you can throw out your statistics for a while and show me how you can expect that a nation, Haiti, born of a slave revolution, has had the resources and opportunity to build a decent country, and somehow couldn't because of their race, I'll be open to discussion.

    Good luck if take the challenge.

    lol yeah the aztecs got owned by the spanish. but the aztecs were bad people too. the aztecs attacked other different native tribes that lived near them. American Natives(indians) attacked different tribes. I don't know the real names. i just know some indians names so im just gonna gives examples. the mohawks attacked the moccasians, the cherokee's attacked the apache. Really it's just like everybody fighting each other. Theres really no such thing as white, asian, black. Theres mongolia vs china vs japan vs korea. You got england vs france. You got russia vs germany.

    So really it's this territory vs that territory. it's has nothing to do with race. It's like I want that land cus it has those resourses so let's invade it. Or power. All those back in the day historic culture clashes had nothing to do with race.

    and no one even tried to respond to my other postings because it's the truth. california has a huge problem. oh and btw even though im 100% white i have several blood related mexican/black cousins. I get along with them fine.

    Correct. Kinda. While you are correct about the indians fighting among themselves (as did the Africans, which led to the slavery issue), I have to correct you about the Cherokees & Navajos.


    Before fighting each other they'd have to get through the Tuskagee, Chicksaw, Choctaw, Natchez, Houma, Tunica, Quapaw, Caddo, Adai, Osage, Hasinai, Tonkawa, Kiowa, Wicita, Kichai, Waco, Tawakoni, and Commanche tribal groups, and then they'll be fighting the Mecalero and Jicarilla tribal groups, which are a part of the tribal family the Navajos belong to.

    6 tribal families made up of 18 tribal groups and only God knows how many actual tribes.

    Something tells me that neither tribe would have done well.

    But yes, I know what you meant about not knowing the names, I just felt like pushing the envelope!
    :D

    ETA- LOL! I just noticed you said Apaches and Cherokees. My bad.
