and this is why i dont respect actors, they will blindly play their act completely unaware of the image or message being shown!

@randy95023 Black commonly attribute all their crime to some racist conspiracy of whites wanting to throw them in jail though they're "innocent." This lie is rife within the black community and reinfirced by race pimps like Jesse Jackson and that ilk. All I'm saying is that the the data prove otherwise, and that blacks are arrested at about the same rate as their guilt suggests (using NCVIS and DOJ). They indeed commit more crime. Why? Culture, poverty, culture, culture, culture.

@randy95023 You shouldn't use words you obviously don't understand. That blacks must be genetically predisposed to commit crime is clearly NOT the only logical conclusion to reach from the well established FACT that they do commit more crime. Not just that they are arrested more, but that they commit more crime. Ever hear of the National Crime Victimization Survey?

By the way, even though genetics is obviously not the only logical explanation, there is plenty of evidence of it.

[randy95023]

@MalleusMaleficarum01 OK, so the Police and the system are not Racist. Therefore, what you are saying is that "blacks commit MORE crime than whites". Using your logic blacks must be genetically predisposed to commit crime when compared to white people. My God, if that IS what you are saying then you are a Racist of the worst kind. Well, pick one answer and let me know which one rules out "racism"...

Surely Snoop doesn't talk like that in real life. He created a slang..just like surfers created odd dialect-speech patterns amongst their peers.(Hello, valley girls 1980's) There's even a new kind of lingustic fad happing amongst ww. (Vocal Fry.) Furthermore if you were to ask the British about the so call "Proper American English"..they would laugh. Americans in general speak a poor and broken standard of English. You do know this, right?

[MalleusMaleficarum01]

@Eternalux Some people do not know how to speak anything but ebonics, and this problem defines many black communities if not most. This has huge negative effects. I, for instance, would never hire someone who spoke ebonics even in the slightest way if I were interviewing him/her, black or white. This problem plagues the black community and black parents need to be taught that they must stop teaching their children this backward form of English. Parents think it's "a black thang tho."

[Eternalux]

@MalleusMaleficarum01 oh you mean ebonics then. yeah it's just a dialect like say, jamaican patois. i don't think it's so bad if people can switch from ebonics to standard american english. like i'll speak in ebonics with friends and family sometimes but i won't do it in public, etc.

[MalleusMaleficarum01]

@randy95023 Easy. The NCVS shows that blacks are arrested in proportion to the rate at which VICTIMS of their crimes report. This shows that, in the case of rape, robbery, and murder, blacks are arrested justly. This is the VICTIM report, not police. Blacks commit crime at a much higher rate than all other races. Reasons are several. Poverty is one sure. But, one dirty little secret that blacks don't want to admit is that crime is "cool," "don't snitch" is part of blk culture.

[MalleusMaleficarum01]

@taymackful Southern accents are fine. Don't confuse a southern accent with English spoken in a totally improper way which is what I'm saying most blacks do (he be, we be, etc.). I've lived in all parts of the US, and I find many blacks who speak and dress properly, but that represents about 1 in 10 blacks I see. All I'm saying is that improper English is praised in black culture (music, BET, movies, parents, etc.) as being "authentically black." It must stop b/s it's hurting blacks

[MalleusMaleficarum01]

@Sahbisun Forget Amos Andy, and let's use snoop dog's English. East, West, North, South, blacks are plagued with a strain of pure ignorance by adopting and glamorizing this retarded for of English. Race pimps like Michael Eric Dyson, Jesse Jackson, etc., have reinforced this by convincing blacks that this type of English (Ebonics) is part of their blackness. They unknowingly are then saying, "being retarded is part of your black culture." This has to stop.

[MalleusMaleficarum01]

@Eternalux No. I said "blacks "do" sound like that." I didn't say all. Forget Amos&Andy. A better point is that most blacks speak an awful form of English, that is literally retarded (delayed). I want this to stop. The hurdle is that blacks think this ignorant form of English is their "culture," their "blackness," which is why I saw so many blacks who spoke proper English harassed by ghetto type blacks. This has to stop. Southern accent is perfectly fine, and diff than what im saying
