    Yes, and the hate crime rate against blacks is higher too and you ignoring it won't make it go away.

    Yes, instead of focusing on segregation in schools that still exists and housing discrimination that still exists let's just ignore all that too and lets really focus on homicidal people that always have and always will exist.

    I get that he's an avowed extreme racist and he only cares about Jazmine because of the possibility the perp was white, but damn that is horribly irresponsible of King.

    I understand that a tip came through to him which he passed to police that resulted in the arrest. Is King going to make good on his promise of a reward?

    And what policy proposals do you have to focus on addressing those internal problems?

    MOAR INCARCERATION

    Defund bad schools and make the worse also. That will help.

    Keep continuing the war on drugs

    Keep on hiring underqualified law enforcement personnel due to low standards and give the community more reason to distrust law enforcement .

    And most importantly, keep having white people on fox news have crocodile tears for the black community by stating how they are inherently more violent and how liberals "ingore the real issues with the black community" while never providing forth actual realistic solutions themselves .

    We spend enough energy on said issues. We will only get so far unless we address internal issues also

    Not acting like they don't exist and every thing is racism is really the first step

    I see so you don't have a single proposal other than to lecture them on their attitude?

    Why school segregation or housing discrimination? Just move and live in a better school district. Who will discriminate against $$$.

    What are the causes of those internal problems? What are the internal problems?

    I don't like violent people regardless of race.

    Unlike the woman in the OP who just doesn't like people based on race.

    If only you had the courage to reprimand that narrative in the community instead of playing the victim online.

    Don't think anyone here is pretending problems don't exist and everything is racism. Just as I hope I hope people don't think little girl getting shot isn't a problem and that racism isn't a problem.

    But he did ask you for ways to address "internal problems."

    Asians were colonized too. How come the ones in poor areas don't dominate crime statistics?

    The internal problems are those you see in this thread - deflecting responsibility of negative narratives, turning the other way to violence, and in general, blaming the white man for everything. Only when you open your eyes and see this, things will change for the better.

    I disagree. Many people don't know it but school segregation but take a look yourself...
    https://www.vox.com/2018/3/5/17080218/school-segregation-getting-worse-data

    It's not something over and done with, unfortunately.

    Right, it is a money thing, the issue is here is that black people have historically been disenfranchised and so simply can't do this and are caught in a cycle of poverty. In America, in general, we know that the social ladder just basically doesn't exist. The idea that if you just work hard enough you can be rich too is a myth. Some poor people do nothing but work and are basically wage slaves living check to check just to live in a crappy apartment and eat crappy food. Then when they die they have nothing to pass on to their children and this is not even counting health bills and all of this other stuff that bleeds people dry.

    Let's also remember that we still have people that are ardent fighters against Affirmative Action that tries to take the best students from crappy situations and lift them up, without that, it would be even worse.

    Were Asians brought to America as slaves and denied owning land time and time again throughout US history?

    The model minority myth that you perpetuate harms Asians too...

    http://fortune.com/2018/06/04/asian-americans-model-minority-asian-glass-ceiling/



    You should read the whole twitter thread...

    Here we see your tactic of...
    "Importantly: Elevating Asian Americans as "deserving" and "hardworking" was a tactic to denigrate African Americans"

    It's not cute.

    The dude doesn't understand that there are consequences when you force funneled a specific group for 400 years total in to **** education and economic opportunities.

    It's hard for me to believe he can't grasp a simple concept. He just ignores it with false equivalency whataboutisms which is even more pathetic.

    Seems simple enough... everyone simply needs to move and buy houses in Tanglewood and The Woodlands. Problem solved!

    I'm not here to defend things I didn't say. Equating not being violent as a good trait has nothing to do with "deserving", "hardworking", "model minorities" etc.

    But putting words in my mouth is the only way for less capable minds to tip toe around the stats.

    America built it's high standard of living from the best and brightest minds, why not mass migrate to Canada and show them what you're capable of when given opportunities by a non racist nation? It was in no way fair but colonialism was something the entire world had to deal with.

    What are your innovative solutions to issues outside of race? Technology, community, sustainability, infrastructure, nuclear proliferation, etc? Others have come from nothing to add to these fields, so why is it always about the white man out to get the non white man?

    Only when cowardly adults are able to look in the mirror and accept violence is not "the only way out" , that anti white narratives will not lead to anything (after all, change is what you should want), will African Americans have more opportunities and integration offered to them. The matter of skin color will fade away by the end of this generation. Your way of thinking hasn't worked for centuries, why would it work now? I'm sorry for being honest with you, obviously it is a first for someone of such bias.
