So you don't think slavery, sharecropping, Jim Crow, lack of resources, etc. has anything to do with the situation?

What I have done is not impressive, its called discipline, and motivation. This is something Blacks the major constituent of welfare recipients do not simply understand. The reason Illegal Immigration is through the roof is because the menial jobs that Americans of all walks of earth used to do are now being done by Hard-Working Illegal Aliens. Now my solution to this problem is to remove the Welfare System, when that is done those who have been parasites will have to find a job.

YOU didn't resort to crime. YOU didn't have welfare. YOU didn't use affirmative action.
Again what you have done is very impressive and not everyone is capable of that. Not every black man resorts to crime or relies on welfare all of his life. But the inner city has much less resources than places where affluent whites live, and thus people will obviously be more likely to do this.
& I answered the only question you asked; it was you that did not answer my question.

I just provided you with anecdotal evidence, that me a person of color came to america without absolutely nothing. I did not use welfare or resort to crime. I did not use affirmative action to achieve a gain monetary status. It seems blacks are the ones who use doubt and fear skepticism in order to achieve precepts that predates ourselves "Americans". You couldn't answer my question, so you asked me a question, typical response from an ignorant black who masquerades with false intel.

(cont.) & What if this "socioeconomic deprivity" IS the reason for many of the problems rampant in inner city communities? Perhaps you have been told the truth 1000 and have not acknowledged it.

Yes, I am black...and I do my best to separate myself from bias in order to provide a more fair and valid argument.
You made a connection between blacks and hip--hop, which is fair. When's the last time you heard a country, folk, jazz, funk, classical, or pop song about astrophysics? I could point you in the direction of many songs and artists in rap that are very conscious and with political and social issues, but that is beside the point.

First let me say that your story is amazing. And I don't even live in the ghetto; I'm black and live in the suburbs near Los Angeles, CA.
But, once again, your story is amazing. Not everybody can make 90,000 + a year off of just that (or else your 3rd world country wouldn't be third world). What my argument is, is an explanation as to disparity rampant in America.

All I had in my pockets were 2 chicklet gums and 5 dollars, 15 years later I own 11% stock in 3 companies in the Fortune 500. I make over 970,000 dollars a year. And let me tell you something my friend, American GHETTOS are a GODSEND compared to the real ghettos of the 3rd world country. Of course, you wouldn't know anything about the third world because you live in America, the greatest nation on earth. I was born in a third world nation. I rest my case.

Wrong, I know you are black so why don't you just get out of the closet and admit your racial bias. I'm not white nor am I black. I'm simply a third-party perspective trying to understand why blacks are inherently crime motivated. Whens the last time you heard a rapper espouse Astrophysics. I'll tell you right now, NEVER.
Don't give me that malarkey blacks are socioeconomically deprived. I've heard that rubbish 1000 times. I had nothing in my pockets when I came to America.
