Something Went Wrong In Baltimore

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It has been a bloody year in Baltimore, that much everyone knows, but as The Economist shows, something changed dramatically after Freddie Gray's death in April...

On November 14th the police department reported the city’s 300th homicide in 2015, a total not seen since 1999.

 

The surge in killings in the majority-black city of roughly 623,000 began after the death on April 19th of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who was fatally injured while in police custody. Since Mr Gray’s death the city has recorded 244 homicides, a 78% increase over the same period in 2014, representing more than 100 additional deaths.

Criminologists and city officials disagree as to the causes:

  • Some say police have deliberately pulled back from poor, black neighbourhoods, a theory that the police disputes.
  • Others blame an influx of drugs from pharmacies looted during the April riots.
  • A third theory is that a decline in trust between the police and the policed has had deadly consequences: fewer residents talk to the police, which leads to fewer murders being solved, which - by lowering the odds of being caught - results in more murders.

Whatever the reason, the killing continues. Just hours after the 300th murder, police reported a shooting in the city’s Westport neighbourhood, the fourth homicide of the day. The total for the year now stands at 305.

Blacks are 13% of US population 37.6% of prisoners and 71% of shooters in Chicago

Why do you think it is that the murderers and robbers are usually black?  Is it the case where you live?  How is a dad supposed to answer this question?  Are your wife and kids even able to ask it?  Are we as a nation even able to ask it?

I agree.  It will take a huge turnover in the PD before this is forgotten - and it may never be forgotten, particulary with the policy of matching more experienced (older and more agrieved) cops with younger cops for training purposes.  The older guys will "train" the younger guys and let them know what happened.  Complete F up all around.

If people are talking to the police less as the piece asserts, then the assumprion is that it is the same people committing more murders

Perp One commiits murder, gets away with and is more likely to commit another

Perp Two sees Perp One get away with murder, so where he may have hesitated before, he doesn't now becuse he figures to get away with it as well. and if he does etaway with it.....

Perp Three sees Perps One and Two... and voila, crime spree. You need to drop the hammmer on Perp One the first time or forget it, it'sover. And in this chocolate city the cops are told to leave the folks alone, so......

It's "white privilege" not to be a nigger AKA you not needing SJW tender loving socialist mercies in order to move ahead with your life.

 

That literally is the SJW bottom line when you cut out all the obfuscation: it's a privilege to not need the nanny state to survive.

Hundreds of years of institutional racism has pushed ethnic minorities to the bottom tier of Western society. That is why any Sociologist worth her salt understands that drawing the conclusion that gang culture is mostly a black thing is asinine. It is a poor people thing. The crime rates of lower-income white neighbourhoods are consistently higher than those of higher-income white neighbourhoods, just the same.

White Supremacist nutcases like yourself, however, aren't much for reality or education. You are old, self-entitled, future-fearing ignoramuses, who have decided it is easier to hate and fear all things you aren't comfortable with.

the evidence for what you are describing is found where there are no blacks. "no blacks" does not translate itself in "no gangs"

inversely, "poor and desperate" does translate itself into gangs, everywhere

but there is a further thing, in the specifics of the US (and in part the UK). "voluntary" (or industry-systematic) segregation. per zip-code

most news about race in the US are centered on where this segregation is not complete, or "satisfactory". most attitudes, inversely, are based on this segregation, "liberal-style"

meanwhile, I can't agree on your "Hundreds of years of institutional racism has pushed ethnic minorities to the bottom tier of Western society". way too simple (and exceptionalist)

and it smacks of propaganda that is currently used for a different form of racism

"way too simple (and exceptionalist)"

If anything, it are privileged whites who tend to have an overly simplistic view of such issues, as we typically have not an inkling of what it's like to live under institutionalized discrimination, which can range from subtle (i.e.: "the black tax") to not-so-subtle (i.e.: overt racism).

It's to the point where one can safely ignore the viewpoints of upper middle class whites on these issues altogether, as they are misinformed and ignorant about them, let alone about the ramifications that they have for people of color.

I was no exception, until I gradually started seeing that reality by sharing the daily life of my spouse. The experiences were eye-opening, and they are a large part of the reason I have grown militant/bellicose about making a stand against prejudice and generalization.

Lets compare crime rates in Switzerland and South Africa, and then you tell me if its due to poverty, or systemic discrimination, or what...

"The Nyanga, Harare, Mitchellsplain, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and Delft police precincts remain the most murderous in the [country]."

These are poor areas.  And these are black areas.  These are violent areas, too.   Now before you tell me how bad black Africans have it in South Africa, lets look at demographics from 100 years ago!!!

1904:  1.1m whites, 3.5m blacks

20xx: 4.5m whites, 41 (!) m blacks

So blacks have multiplied there population 12 times while being 'terribly repressed' while whites have multiplied their pop. 4x, while 'oppressing the shit out of everyone'.

Yeah...  I'm sure the specific population's chosen reproduction strategies have nothing to do with the statistics I mentioned.  And I am sure a population can both increase general well-being and total population, at the same time...  Oh wait, actually that seems like it would be quite difficult.  Hmmm...

  or South Africa which is 'free at last'. Or any black African country. How are they doing in comparison to the rest of the world? Blame it on race, blame it on culture, blame it on the genetic lottery but any time you put a bunch of blacks in one area things get shitty. I truly wish it were different. Poor does not cut it as an excuse. Get the family back together Dad!  Educate your children. Call the po-po on the assholes terrorizing your neighborhood or better, shoot them. Get a job doing whatever you are capable of. It is not easy, a check does not show up for running the hos and smoking weed all day. You are either moving up the line on the success chart or you are moving down. One more thing Dad, ban all rap music from the kids listening routines. It preaches hate, misogyny and other negative societal values. Google brain washing. Bad stuff to put in a teens head. Nor do the general public want to listen to that shit blasting from your open car windows. Some of us care about the kids in the backseat.There is a better way and it will start with family unity. Dads belong home with their kids, not out making more with any ho who will spread their legs. I know, I am old and clinging to outdated moral values. /s

Anytime you hand the governing of a nation of niggers over to niggers, the place literally goes to hell.  South Africa USED to be the one nation in africa that was first world.  Then its governance was handed over to niggers.  Now, it's on course to be Liberia 2.0, cannibal warlords, cross dressing warriors and all.  One might see a similar course now that we've had the White Housenigger @ 1600 for 7 years. . .

So, you're saying that poor white people in the Appalachian mountains are going around, burning down pizza joints and rioting every time a meth head gets caught?

No? Huh.

Isn't the meth head somebody's son too? Didn't he also have a mother?

Odd. It just doesn't evoke the same reaction, does it?

Surely, these poor white child will grow up to be a fine upstanding citizens like Trayvon! Like Michael Brown!

Except they'll be better than that, because white communities actually fucking care about each other, and work to help each other. I don't understand how one group can live in abject poverty and deal with it, and the other refuses that life, only to burn down all of the businesses around themselves (that are also in the same boat, just trying to stay alive!).

When the privileged opt for complete self-destruction rather than surrendering any material part of their privilege, social upheaval and violence inevitably result. This pattern is seen across the ages, across nations, across cultures, and across ethnicities.

Eirik, I've read some of your posts before and just rolled my eyes; but there are several egregious errors in your premeses here to which I feel compelled to respond.

First, the statement that blacks are acting out as a result of living under 100s of years of institutional racism, and its corollary, that the black crime rate is high because of the memory of slavery sins committed by whites, is not grounded.

If memory of slavery sins caused shootings and robberies among the descendents of the slaves (ie. blacks), then we would have seen much higher crime rates 100 years ago, when this "institutional racism" were more fresh on people's minds, and some of the (now unacceptable) racially targeted legislation (ie. Jim Crow laws) was still active. But this was not the case.

Second, the belief that only blacks were slaves in Western Europe and North America is falls into the Big Lie category. Estimates suggest that 1/2 to 2/3 of all white people who came to the New World came as slaves. White children used to be "spirited away" (this is where that term originates) by slavers looking for fodder for the mills. White slaves were, by and large, free, and therefore expendable, and were frequently worked literally to death. Black slaves cost more money, and were generally better treated, especially in the Southern US States, which were dominated by Christian men, who, when they did own slaves (and fewer than 10% of them did) they generally followed the Biblical guidance against treating one's slaves harshly. Northerners didn't share these sensibilities, and worked their slaves into the ground. Interestingly, there are cases documented in court-houses of free blacks owning white slaves. In one of our history's great ironies, it is remembered by a large portion of our society that only blacks were slaves, and only in the South. Understanding that whis was not the case, that whites were slaves too, should give the reader some perspective when listening to nonsense about black crime rates being related to slavery, cruelty, and oppression that took place over 6 generations ago. Since that time, blacks in the West have been given opportunities to succeed that have been denied to them in every other place and time in history; and they are still failing. 

Third, an issue no one wants to talk about in the race war is the impact on IQ. Murray and Herrenstein tackled the central issue in their book The Bell Curve, and were subjected to public excoriation for doing so. Blacks have collective IQs that are one full standard deviation below those of most other ethnic groups. This, more than any other factor, leads to type of societal problems we hear about in black communities that simply don't exist (or exist only marginally) in other communities. Why this is so is the subject of another debate. But that it is so has been thoroughly proved by analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Socioeconomic status has little to no impact on whether or not a person will be successful in life or end up in prison. Little to no impact. Claims that the plight of blacks may be blamed on white racist oppression are not grounded in reality. In reality, a person's genetic makeup is the single greates determining factor of his future success, whether he grew up in the ghetto or in opulence.

In short, there's absolutely no reason for any white person to feel ashamed for his ancestors' treatment of blacks. Western Civilization ended slavery - we didn't start it. And the idea that whites today "owe" something to blacks as a result of 100s of years of institutionalized racism is insultingly uninformed.

No civilized Westerner need concern himself with what Mr. Fischer thinks. He's a tool of the countercultural leftists, who inculcate self-destructive attitudes among Westerners. That this guy was a vocal supporter of the blatantly criminal NATO jihad on Kosovo in 1999 tells us all we need to know about him.
