Uh, basically. His thesis--"the underlying cause of all this [is] young black men growing up without fathers"--is unfounded and likely untrue.

Really? So the out of control crime in inner cities has nothing to do with absent fathers?Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by square_peg View PostI don't know if it has nothing to do with that, but it's unreasonable to claim (especially so boldly) that it's THE underlying cause, especially when a different conclusion makes much more sense given the data (and doesn't have to rely on vague psychoanalysis). Check out the above link for a more in-depth look.
It is not "police corruption" that is causing young black men to slaughter each other by the bushel full. And the fact is Police may need to be more severe in these neighborhoods because those neighborhoods are more severe and dangerous. Either way, the Reporter should not lose his job for expressing his opinion.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by square_peg View PostWhoa, hold on. You're conflating separate things. The reporter said that the underlying cause of the anti-cop mentality was young black men growing up without fathers. He didn't say that that's why crime rates are so high in the inner cities.
He should at least receive some sort of disciplinary action for stating such an unfounded assertion as if it was a proven fact.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

You certainly have not shown that it is unfounded, or that it isn't a main driver.
I can think of certain people whose behaviour has been rather disgusting over the years who weren't black. KKK for example.
Even a bloke by the name of McCarthy.
Then there's Mel Gibson, Justin Bieber, Alec Baldwin, Lindsay Lohan ... same attitudes if not played out in as thorough a fashion.
Also Bikie gangs, Mafia, Triads etc and so forth. Nothing in common except a certain attitude of entitlement to privilege.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Any stats on cross racial killings? As in how many blacks killed by other races, how many of other races killed by blacks? Or would posting those figures be considered racist?1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

That criminals don't dislike cops more than law abiding citizens?

I think the tragedy is that there seems to be public outcry when a white kills a black, but the FACTS show that the vast majority of blacks are killed by other blacks. Those "leaders" in the black community only perpetuate the myth that blacks are singled out by whites because they don't have the courage to face the fact that it's their OWN PEOPLE who are slaughtering their own people.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by square_peg View PostWhat does that have to do with anything?
Originally posted by Cow PokeI think the 93% pretty much says it -- 93% of blacks are killed by blacks.
And what percentage of the (for example) American Indian murder victims are killed by (say) Caucasians. Also 93% of black murder victims are killed by blacks doesn't really indicate how many blacks are committing murder. In theory at least, all of those murders might be committed by the same small cadre of murderers.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
