This is a truth nobody is willing to hear or accept.

Thanks for saying it.

Another part of the story that nobody is willing to accept into their egocentric reality is that there actually is no problem to begin with. A quick look at FBI statistics will show you that many fewer unarmed black folks are killed by police than white folks. The higher per-capita rate for black folks is easily explained by the higher crime rate exhibited in their communities... which are almost entirely run by democrats. In fact, when you look at the crime statistics, black people are technically under policed (fewer police incidents of nearly every kind, per crime committed). I know tons of black people who don’t go around committing crimes, and I know none who do. The crime rates in these large cities has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with Democrat governance (welfare, immigration (sanctuary status), other economic policies, etc.).

Your argument is black people get killed by police less often than white people, so there is no problem?

I already made my argument, so why make up a different statement immediately below? In fact, disregard my entire comment; people like you are the problem in this country.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

Of the 11,514 murder offenders in 2018 where the race of the offender is known by now, 6,318 of the offenders were black: 54.9%. Blacks make up 13.4% of the us population.

I don’t get how growing up in a city with a poor economic policy causes one to become a murderer.

Are you saying that people are more likely to be murderers if their skin is black? If you took someone who was black and raised them in a world where racism never existed, would they still be more likely to be murderers than someone who was, for example, white?

>Are you saying that people are more likely to be murderers if their skin is black?

No, I think that personality traits are inherited. There are genes which are correlated with aggression in the phenotype. There are other genes that are correlated with the expression of black skin the phenotype.

>If you took someone who was black and raised them in a world where racism never existed, would they still be more likely to be murderers than someone who was, for example, white?

Are you asking that question in good faith? See this and tell me what your conclusions are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...
