The statistics say you are wrong
[QUOTE=Goddess; 1209020]My belief is everyone is entitled to safety and their beliefs.
However sometimes expanding our minds to see other's points of view can open our eyes to things we didn't see before.
We should all strive to be good people regardless of what profession or lifestyle we lead and regardless of sex or color.
No one should be subject to being used or abused.
I just myself don't believe that one color of people are more prone to hurting other's.
Even something as simple as what music one listens to or what car they drive shouldn't be a factor in judgement of their character.
If you only believe danger comes from one color and one corner you might be suprised one day to find yourself in quite a predicament.
Insight from ladies can be helpful if the gentlemen can be of open mind.
Keep in mind we are typically: well traveled and wordly women, who have seen and heard alot. [/QUOTE]You may not believe that one color of people are more prone to hurting other's, but the statistics prove you wrong.
When approximately 14% of the USA population (Black) is responsible for 55 to 70% of all violent crimes committed (Based on Federal Statistics and what you want to deem a violent crime) it is pretty obvious to me that there is a solid basis to see one race as more violent prone then another. If anyone does not believe that then I think they are just fooling themselves.
With that said, everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Also, anyone of any color can be a violent criminal, but statistically and actually, male blacks are more violent prone then those of other races.
Wow, talk about off topic
Goddess posted about a racist assumption,"the pimp was black". And now we have this. Not sure why, but oh well. It must have something to do with being a monger.
I can put verified in my title too
[QUOTE=Vino 7373; 1210280]There is a well-known provider in town that was shot by her pimp. The bullet went right through her upper shoulder and out of her back.
She didn't rat him out at the hospital or to the cops, so he got away with it. After she got out of the hospital, she stayed with friends. She ended up sneaking away to go back to the guy. Not because she was scared of him but because she wanted to be with him,"because he loved her and she loved him back."
She did eventually get away from the guy. She's still working and "claims" that she doesn't have a pimp at all now.
If that story doesn't confirm a little about what Goddess is saying, I don't know what would. [/QUOTE]Sometimes it is love. Sometimes co-dependency. All too often though it is Stockholm Syndrome.
