Why are so many young African-American men shooting each other so much?

Hell! I knew they were doing in South Chicago, and Newark, New Jersey, but now down here in Hicksville, they are doing it every day, and they are less than 6% of the population. It's not gang related either. It's stupid arguments or pay back.....Is this just simple Darwinism?

I think we as a society have a problem. No matter what race, our culture is promoting the idea that life is cheap.

Darwinism does not even come close to these morons. FFS where are the black leaders discussing this, where is Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters yep that is correct black lives do not matter to these people

The leftist mindset has destroyed every moral fabric in society. This sick ideology glorifies evil, promotes the destruction of traditional family values and encourages a culture of death.

The rap “music,” violent video game culture combined with an absence of father figure in many homes of black people have accelerated this huge problem. Obama did nothing to solve it, in fact he encouraged it.

The left enjoys chaos and misery. The leftist ideology has become like a wrecking ball and parasite out of control. It’s warped views are destroying societies, countries and souls. The left feeds off violence and promotes it, it depends on the majority of black voters to be naive. Leftists want blacks at each other’s throats. They don’t want to solve this problem. If they did, they would be out of business.

As Obama did frequently, just blame the white man for everybody’s problems. Never address the real problem. that takes too much work and this requires and introspection of one’s soul. We can’t have this.....

Honestly, I don't know the local circumstances. But I would venture to guess that being cool, carrying a gun, and gang culture carrying over into normal society through music and the examples of rap icons has permeated our culture beyond the confines of cities famous for violence.

If you are a gun toting young man and you decide to get drunk and someone threatens you or calls you a very bad name, it probably won't end well.

@puck61 LBJ also said we would NEVER go to Viet-Nam. My father was already IN Thailand doing groundwork when he said that. I don't think we need to discuss LBJ further. He was a fossil...a throwback, and a liar.

That being said, it was LBJ and people exactly like him who created a society of inequities which are now being addressed. Unfortunately, the people who are trying to overcome these social injustices are just as left leaning as LBJ was to the right. Extremism will always, always, hurt our country.
@4meAndyou It's getting awfully extreme lately. It's coming down to whether we surrender this country to an opposing faction or keep it and protect it. It's getting there real fast. We can forget about melanin when the friction turns to fire.

@puck61 Politics are formed upon our wishes for our future society. We are engaged in a multi-issue struggle at the moment, fueled on one side by emotion and fear, and fueled on the other side by fear of the first side and where their short-sightedness will lead us.

Shit culture. They put a ridiculous amount of emphasis on dishonor and disrespect, and deal with such conflicts violently, without thinking through the consequences.

Many grew up without father figures in their lives.

Emotional immaturity.

Terrible taste in music.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SteelHands I said an influence, not the entire cause.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti I agree with you there. Especially the subliminal songs and videos. Where they have so many noises and grunts that you can't even tell the song they stole the idea for the song from.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SteelHands they have changed something in music, the subliminal part that is really concerning is the sound frequency

Broken families?

Why so many Caucasian Americans kill their wives? Answer: we all lose it when betrayed by those close to us.
@eMortal It's blatantly obvious, young man. Open your eyes. Pay attention.

@puck61 the truth is they're violent because no hope for a better future. The feeling of "nothing left to lose" is constantly there. They'd shoot anyone close by. Their neighbors just happen to be black.

Officer- "Why did you kill the whole family?"

Perp- "Cause they was home."

There is more hope for a better future than there ever has been in this country. (Although right now we are teetering on the edge of a horrible war that will drastically affect all of our lives, if we tip the wrong direction.)

*Consider the drastic change in London's crime stats in the last two years, and look at the perps and victims. * It is not a coincidence.

Perhaps society has something to learn from fatherly corporeal retribution circumcision and too much talk and too little walk about yo mama love.
