How to solve high crime amongst blacks and end racism forever?

[LS1Z28]

80% of African Americans lived in poverty in the 40's. That percentage had fallen steadily until the 60's when the war on poverty started and single parent households were incentavized. Then little progress was made for the next 25 years. Welfare was reformed in the 90's, but single parent households persisted. Only 25% of African American children were born out of wedlock in the 60's. Today that figure is 77%.

Statistics show that single parent household rates correlate strongly to things like education, employment, income, violent crime, & incarcerate rates. IMO, finding a way to lower single parent household rates is the key to lowering crime and fighting inequality. We're going to continue to see inequality of outcome until that happens.

Research for yourself the notion that correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation.

Research for yourself the notion that correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation.

Single parent household rates by race:
1. Asian - 15%
2. White - 24%
3. Hispanic - 41%
4. Black - 65%

Test scores by race (high to low):
1. Asian
2. White
3. Hispanic
4. Black

Unemployment rates by race (low to high):
1. Asian
2. White
3. Hispanic
4. Black

Average median income by race (high to low):
1. Asian
2. White
3. Hispanic
4. Black

Incarceration rates by race (low to high):
1. Asian
2. White
3. Hispanic
4. Black

It's true that correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, but I very much believe that the environment that a child grows up in is the most important determining factor as to whether or not they'll have success in life. Family structure plays a big part in that. Why do you believe that we see such a different inequality of outcome among different racial groups?

Asians have a leg-up because they eat a lot of brain food (i.e. fish).

...Why do you believe that we see such a different inequality of outcome among different racial groups?

Because they are treated differently by the majority.

This difference in treatment by the majority, creates this self-fulling prophecy you post about.

If the majority controls job hirings, mortgage applications, police encounters, judicial sentences, etc. ... you see where I'm going.

A snowball effect takes place.

If systemic racism is the cause of inequality of outcome, why is a non-white racial group succeeding at a higher rate than everyone else? Why are African American immigrants significantly more successful that regular African Americans? Why would systemic racism affect different segments of the same race?

Whites succeed overall, as I recall. You'll have to post data to the contrary. But I do know that Asians surpass Whites with regard to IT. And maybe this brings them above Whites, overall.

Most jobs can be done by anyone with training, not as much regarding IT. That explains that statistic to me. Asians with the resources to immigrate to the US are typically more skilled in IT than their White counterparts.

African American immigrants that can enter this country are typically, relatively, wealthy, and better educated than their oppressed counterparts already here.

Also, those doing the hiring might prefer to hire a Black person with an African accent, than one with a so-called 'Ebonics' accent. Which would you hire?

Don't forget that the majority can also discriminate within a category. Lighter complexioned Blacks were preferred over darker complexioned Blacks, historically, and typically, by Whites ... in more ways than one.

IQ by racial group in the US

1.Jewish 113
2.Asians 106
3.Whites 103
4.Hispanics 89
5.Blacks 85

IQ is the best predictor of economic success in Western society

These results are no longer disputed by academics, but few will openly mention these results due to political correctness. (although it seems to be ok to mention asian have high IQs, but if you mention blacks are very low you will get fired)

See page 2 of this doc for proof of the above figures:
http://www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfredson/30years/Rushton-Jensen30years.pdf

Most jobs can be done by anyone with training

Sadly the lowest 10% by IQ in the US are not suitable for holding down any type of real job in todays society, even after training, enough well intentioned people have tried:

this is news to me, where can numbers be found to support this? Thanks man
