But I'll never get to know you, cause you sound like a retard. Stating that race causes crime is a "fact" is so far from open minded I think you may want to rethink what the phrase means. If you are open minded, read about what drugs do to communities, all communities. Drugs and poverty cause crime, and corrupt governments cause poverty and beget drug use. The color of your skin doesn't cause crime, and the proliferation of other cultural values is good for society. The growth your mindset is what starts wars, and kills people.
Man you sound like one of those hipster better-than-you-more-open-minded-read-about-social-injustice white kids at New College who dont know half the story and try to act as saviors of the world lol.... but I digress... (and I love new college)
I never said that "race" causes crime. Maybe read more carefully next time?
I said people from certain areas/places are more prone to crime. (dare you to make a coherent argument against this)
-Because I grew up in Bogota and I KNOW that people from Ciudad Bolivar are nice-but that a large majority of its inhabitants will fuck you up for a dollar and not give a shit. -My mother did community teaching as part of a social program there, and I still remember her face when she read about her ex-students who had been shot down, stabbed, etc. Heck, one of her ex students, after coming over to our house for months for meals, showers, bit of work, etc, stole my bike (and we werent rich...I didnt have a bike for over a year after that). Thats just how things are. I dont hate him, and I actually understand why he did it.
-Ive slept over on a bridge in Prague, by myself, and felt safer than walking through downtown Bogota at 12 noon. If you dont know this maybe you need to travel more.
-I feel safer parking my car in say, Brickell, than in overtown. Ive never gotten chased out of Brickell by black people with metal bars yelling "yo yo yo fuck dem up!" and "get dem whiteboys" - it has however, happened to me in overtown.
Try driving there at 9pm one day with your windows down and explaining to those nice people how you've "read about how social-injustice and the corrupt white oligarchy is the cause of all their problems". Im sure they'll thank you for being so enlightened and open minded and give you a community service medal or something.....
If you cannot comprehend the reasoning and truth behind these arguments then I can only infer that:
you've never been outside your comfort zone or traveled through 3d world countries,
or that you just can't understand arguments beyond college-textbook "we are all an equal and loving happy family its not your fault".
Neways Im tired of this crap this is a drifting forum not a sociology class debate. I've made my arguments, you've made your mind and image about me, so thats that. Maybe we'll clear it up in a good way if we meet at a drift event and have time to talk and see eye to eye, if not then no problems, cheers, peace out.
