Racism rears its ugly head

Don't you need to look at the numbers in relationship to the total population of each group of people? That 56.8 percent might look a lot different.
Where did I say there isn't a problem? There's obviously a problem when more than half the murders in the country comes from 6% of the population. How many of those murders are between gang bangers? It's not fair to say that all 20 million are this or that.

My father had a black doctor perform a successful knee surgery on him. Met the man. Big guy, super friendly, and super intelligent. Then there's Dr. Ben Carson. To listen to some here you'd think these men are ready to explode at any moment and harm someone. The numbers don't lie, there's definitely a problem with violence in the black community. But let's not spin the numbers into something they aren't.

The problem is no one wants to look at possible root causes for all this crime, to do so is racist.

I agree. On one hand we have people with their heads buried in the sand. On the other hand we have people who want to blame everything that's wrong in the world on minorities.

I do, and I’ve brought it up many times on here

What do you believe is some of the possible root causes for all this crime?

Who exactly attacked the typical two parent household, creating the situation we have today?
Joe Biden played a huge role by criminalizing drug use so strongly and treating drug addiction as a criminal issue rather than a mental health issue, and sending so many men to prison

Of course when it comes to his own son though, then that’s different

The problem with that is a lot of addicts harm others to get money for drugs. Either lock them up where they can get treatment and get clean, or keep them out on the streets where the temptation is always there to use. And the dealers should be given long sentences and kept for all of it.

And a lot don’t also. Plenty of people addicted to alcohol and cigarettes, but I dont want my tax dollars going to locking them up for their addictions
Those are certainly bad addictions. I know Arizona has a prison just for DUI convicts. You aren't going to give an addict much of a chance if you can't isolate them from their drug of choice.

it’s not the governments job to cure our addictions. The government is not our parents or babysitter. Should the government also have a say in how much you eat? Lots of obese people in America, should our tax dollars go to monitoring what and how much they eat?

Leave government out of peoples lives as much as possible and bring back personal responsibility and liberties

Forcing someone away from their drug of choice has limited success. When the addict has decided to willingly isolate themselves from the drug of choice, it has far more success.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Arizona does not have a prison just for DUI convicts. No one does. You’re full of sht. What prison would that be?

Unless it's changed there was one built about ten miles west of Kingman. I delivered to it while it was being built and after it opened. AZ wanted a facility for DUI convicts that kept them out of other state prisons because they weren't considered hardened criminals.
