Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What are the root causes of gang violence in the inner city?

Just curious what the experts think.

Education (or the lack of appreciation for)
Poverty?
Racism?
Single parent homes?
?????

Kneegros and wetbacks!

oh geez, another debate with no real answers.

me, my kids, and the neighbors kids all have a social license to shoot and kill as licensed by the state. (a hunting license can be purchased for a fee)

that means, the gov't sanctions the release of aggressive, masculine energy through a state sanctioned process).

inner city kids can't go there, and do that.

no legal arms for the most of them.

we could go further, but i've said enough.

y'all figure it out. it's on your table.

Victims or victimizers?

Both, neither, or a combination?

Common denominator?

So, the root cause is the need to kill?

Blacks are simply inherently violent. Their violent nature is the direct result of an African evolutionary strategy that has no place in the modern world.

Europeans evolved with a different strategy, one of kindness and cooperation.

are you an apologist for the pc folks who walk among us?

just asking.

we already know the xtians walk among us. the muslims are following the beachhead.

i like the idea of the Appalachian-American viewpoint. but, is that legal?

They're arse-holes.

But seriously, I think you hit on it:

Education (or the lack of appreciation for)
Poverty?
Racism?
Single parent homes?

Although I wouldn't really put racism in there...it plays some role (both ways mind you), but it's really a poverty/education thing. And because of that the inner-city "thug" mentality is to shun education and any legitimate effort to better oneself.

But the biggest factor is education. People need to be better educated...but we have to get them to understand that they need the education first, and that's a problem.

Strangely, blacks kill about the same number of people as whites per year in the US...but blacks comprise less than 13% of the total population statistically.
There is an indication that they either value life less or are more violent by nature or lack the wherewithal to realize the consequences of their actions ?

Oh dear God, are you chitting me??? Genius conclusion you have drawn, what's your IQ, 10??

The greatest issue is lack of positive role models and no dad in the home: dad, not just some messed up male. Everything else is affected/created by those.

No sense getting bent out of shape.

Go ahead and stick to your nice and tidy 'poverty' theory...

You are consumed with white guilt that the media has shoved down your throat for the last 50 years.

Create higher unemployment by forcing progressive tax programs and regulations on businesses/landowners which pushes the businesses/landowners to find a better life elsewhere...

Throw in public housing to bait the "unemployed" from leaving the projects to find work...thus creating a home grown voter base to continue the "progressive" scam...

Take away the need for fatherhood through supplemental welfare for single mothers with increased benefits for each additional child...

..and with the disenfranchised male utes (created by the welfare mothers need to increase income: see above)running around with no father or job opportunities you mix in a bunch of illicit drugs to provide the only perceived avenue to make money and you now have a stew that makes even the Orks of Mordor quiver with envy.

Not a lot of kindness exhibited by the Europeans, many of whom were well educated, who planned "The Final Solution" at Wannsee on 01/20/1942. Kindness would have been to send those people identified for "transportation" to a neutral country.

Go hang with your Stormfront buddies. White guilt has nothing to do with it...that's what the Klan guys say to anyone who disagrees with them.

Again, I was counting down the seconds until someone mentioned the holocaust.

There was a time the black community was well behaved. I knew a lot of older black families when I did work in the inner city. Those were really good people. They had several things in common.
(1) They worked really hard.
(2) They diciplined their kids.
(3) They got married , then had kids.

I am sure they were not the type to fall for the rce bait crap , and feel sorry for me cause my 11th great grandparents were slaves. They baught house for $1 and we fixed them to code, 30k later they had a nice house. No doubt those little kids are educated, have a job and are not in jail. Also, the rural black people are much the same around here. They don't bother anyone.

Tribal instincts.

You're just like Birdwatcher, who claims that white women getting murdered by their black spouses at a clip 1240% above the white equivalent, is 'insignificant'.

Inherent violence.
