Homophobe (n) - a perjorative term invented by homosexual advocates in an attempt to pretend that people with a natural dislike of homosexual relations, are somehow "afraid" of something.
I'd say Kathianne had a good take on the subject... as well as tailfins:
Of course, I misread that as liberal.
We should take an objective look at statistics and then understand the environment from which they're taken.

I originally moved this thread to the cage. I cleaned up some posts and moved it back here. (at least I think it was in current events, if it should be elsewhere, lemme know!)

I don't see it that way. It's real problem and I am [was, anyway] curious what others here have to say about it and what solutions they might posit.
They [blacks] have economic opportunities, they often choose not to take advantage of them. Many of them drop out of high school.Increasing economic opportunity heals many ills.

Umm, OK.
Everyone has opportunity but the key is relative opportunity. I think everyone in the country, white/black/otherwise, on the lower end of the income scale has lower opportunity relative to the higher end because of our tax and regulatory structure. Blacks are, for whatever reason, average being on the lower end of the income scale so they're going to be harmed more. With our anti-growth corporate tax structure, payroll taxes, regulations, etc. on top of counter intuitive welfare policies and the failure of public education they are harmed on one side and disincentivized on the other.

So far in the course of your Ranting in this thread you have refferred to African Americans as:
"THEY"
"BLACKS"
"NEGROES"
We can all see where you're coming from BillyBob.
You made that clear to us here the first day you posted with us...
There is ONE race. It's called the HUMAN race. Genetically speaking, the vastly different appearing members of the human species are the same. You want to know how I know that? Ever see an open heart operation? I HAVE. You look down into an open chest, there is NO difference. You can't tell what the skin color is from the inside.
Oh yeah, the whole lazy, low IQ thing doesn't hold water. Just one more example from recent news. Look up Dr. Gregory Antoine. Here, I'll help you.. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...sippi/2324305/
JACKSON, Miss. -- It was approaching midnight on April 15, more than eight hours after two homemade bombs killed three and injured 264 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. No family members had heard from 63-year-old Gregory Antoine, a native of Pass Christian, Miss., a 1972 graduate of Jackson State University and chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Boston Medical Center.
Bother to read the whole article. The man has ideas not just on medicine for individuals but for health care as a system.
The problem is that the poor economic status of some African Americans contributes to crime. And a lot of people take advantage of and perpetuate a system that keeps people in poverty and dependent on government programs rather than encouraging self reliance. And then some other people look at the numbers and use them as an excuse to believe that people who appear different are of less worth than they are.

OK, so what do you think those reasons are?

Like I said, lower relative opportunity stuck in wage jobs that are less available because our tax structure is pro-capital and anti-labor.
Plenty of historical reasons on top of an over-reliance on government based support system which is unfortunately doomed to fail.

Well yes, the topic of this thread is the criminal propensity of 'blacks', that is the term they often use when describing themselves. 'They' is hardly a racist term and 'negro' is probably the most accurate. It was even used on the last US Census.
But there are plenty of other terms for them, you are welcome to use those if you prefer.
