So, Mr. Blue, do you have any proof whatsoever?

I stated my facts in that it is known that African Americans commit more crimes and violent acts than that of other races. I'm not meauring in every single black person and I'm not saying most black people are violent. What I'm trying to say is that the majority of violent acts committed in the US are related to African Americans.

Fact is, the African American race has a better possibility of being violent han other races.

Where are the statistics/facts? I've met White people, Asians, Mexicans, ect. that are more violent than African Americans.

Black Hawk Down was a movie based on factual events with non fctional characters. I'll watch the movie again and if the name Gary Goldman does come up than I guess I'm wrong.

the actual exisentence of the characters.

OMG I can't believe you just said that. All of the US military personnel in the movie are/were real people. The names of Aidad and most of his helpers are real. And if you don't believe me, why don't you ask the boy who was in my kindergarten class who's dad, Gary Gordan, actually died? Please don't get in an argument over the situation in Somalia with me when my dad was the one back at Fort Bragg taking the log book of the operation.

Black Hawk Down does have one thing that isn't factual...the actual exisentence of the characters. Other than that all events are factual. Fact is, the African American race has a better possibility of being violent han other races. I'm not saying all black people are violent.

Want evidence, look at Somolia, watch Black Hawk Down.

One...while "Black Hawk Down" does stick very closely to real life it is not an entirely factual movie and it should not be your only view of the crisis in Somolia.

Two... white people such as Slobodan Milosevic and Hitler and Middle Eastern people such as Saddam Hussein have also done horrible horrible things, just as bad, if not worse than want Aidad did in Somalia.

I think every race has it's violent members. To call a whole race violent is wrong.

Hey Diva, are we using ebonics here,"Are black people is violent?"
Yes, black people are a more likely to be violent race. Evidence of this can be seen in WEST Oakland and about 50% of the homicide rate in the US. I'm not being racist, I'm telling the facts. Why is this? Black people are a more closely related race to that of primates then those of other races. Want evidence, look at Somolia, watch Black Hawk Down. These are just the facts. Happy New Years!!!!

I am new at this, but I do have a response to the present topic. Just because a person is black doesn't mean that they are violent. I am black and I am not violent. The media of today portrays blacks as violent and uneducated. That is true in many cases, but not in all. We must keep in mind that there are many blacks that are not uneducated and violent. You mustn't let society mold your views toward a certain person or race. For example, I am not prejudice against middle-eastern people. If I did let society mold my views I would run from every middle-eastern person I saw. Now, I propose a question to all of you. Would it be right for me to do that?

No. Not necisarilly.

Evy

All people, not just blacks, are succeptible to being violent.

Can't even ask the question right or better yet in a respectful manner. Although I personally do have an answer to your grammatically incorrect question. Do I think Black People are violent? NO people only make their own choice to do so or be that way. From a personal perspective most blacks that I know are not. The only ones I do know are on television. I can say this because I'm black but I'm not a violent person. I dont tolerate not one being violent towards me which would cause me to react in a violent manner. You respect me and I'll respect you. Same with the people in which You probably believe is violent or better yet with anyone breathing!

She must be black then......just kidding.

No actually I don't. I agree wit Ice on this one.

much luv

I think lower class people commit more crimes and in my state there is a higher percentage of lower class blacks, so crime rate among blacks is higher most likely, but it's not cuz they're black it's cuz they're lower class. Just like the white lower class is prolly more prone to crime as well.

NO!...I'm black and I'm not violent, I may get frustrated with certain people but I'm not violent...Plus I think that's a sterotype asking that question, why are you black?...
