    Perhaps you could try and be more objective rather than just instantly hating me for saying something un-PC.
    Yawn. There's that lazy, overused expression again. The hostile reception you're getting has fukk all to do with whether it's PC or not, it's to do with the fact that the statement is very ignorant and very stupid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,212 ✭✭✭Affable


    That isn't a very reputable source. Also some of those "stats" are for crimes by black against whites (and the reverse). What does it matter that the crime was against someone of a different race? If someone robs my house it doesn't make the crime less severe just because it is done by someone of the same race as me?

    Why is it not reputable and what would you class as reputable?
    You're right that colour of the victim maybe should not have been included, still doesn't detract from the picture those stats paint though does it?

    Wow, what a troll! So are you going to prove this "truth" or what?

    Thats hardly an accredited or scholarly article now is it? Go read Bourdieu, Durkheim, Ritzer, Dan Pence, J Fields, Linda Faye Williams. Educate yourself and then you might just be taken seriously.

    It's also true that males commit proportionately more crime than females, what do you propose we do about this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    No word from Affable in a while. I presume (s)he is writing a detailed explanation of how (s)he came to this gem of a conclusion...

    Perhaps the problem is uncontrolled immigration? First, let me make my position clear before anyone accuses me of racism (the buzz word nowadays).

    My only daughter wanted to marry a lad whose skin is so black we can't find him in the dark. I not only gave my blessing, but also encouraged her, because he was and is the straightest, most genuine guy I have met in years. His parents, brothers, sisters, are lovely people and we have all, as an enlarged family group, enjoyed many happy hours together, learning from each other and laughing hyterically at each others "racist" jokes.

    So, having got that off my chest, Ireland and the UK seem to have an open door policy that lets anyone in irrespective of whether or not they are going to assimilate and contribute. We have issues of whether or not a girl in school should be allowed to wear a hijab. We have black drug gangs from Jamaica and elsewhere starting feuds and killing people. We have Muslims preaching hate towards us and telling us that their target is that we all become Shia Muslims.

    The solution, I suspect, is the US and Australian model. "What do you bring?" If your intention is simply economic migration, to take advantage of our society, don't bother."

    I don't see how that would cause blacks to commit proportionately more crime than whites though...

    You won't impress me with fancy names. I come from a distinguished academic family and know not to take these people as divine authorities..
    Anyway science (and politics) are not completely objective, they can be influenced by not wanting to come up with conclusions that offend.


    Are people seriously trying to tell me that the stats I produced contain no element of truth?

    I would agree with you to a certain degree but the question should be "Will you contribute?" If someone is here to work and make an honest living then let them come over. If they just want to sponge then they send them back. Also any foreigner who has a serious crime on their record within a certain period of time should not be allowed to enter.

    Yes but unlike you they put a lot of research into what they were saying, they were just a few examples go do your own with proper sources (not crappy made up internet ones) and maybe we will take you seriously.

    Doesn't mean that not wanting to offend can't tarnish their objectivity.

    Oh I've no doubt it is the case in many places (it would be nice if you could actually narrow it down to specific places though instead of just using the all-encompassing term "blacks" - a tad vague don't ya think?)
    But the extraordinarily dumb part of your opening post about how this could mean bad news if we let "blacks" into this country is what's most bothersome. Because that indicates you feel these stats are down to just race rather than socio-economic reasons. If we're going to go down the eugenics road - i.e. blaming skin colour/race for particular tendencies - then tell me this: what race is responsible for genocides, slavery, the rape of entire continents etc in the name of "civilisation"? Oh yeah... the white race.

    Anyway, we're waiting on back-up. Thanks.

    Actually the Africans are quite partial to the old genocide also, that's not just whites. Africans also enslaved other Africans left right and centre, it still happens to this day. And the empire was mutually beneficial, Africa's been worse since independence.

    .

    It means that people will sometimes avoid the truth if it hurts people's feelings.

    But sure any one coming over here with the intention of sponging their way through life will have no qualms about lying about their intentions to gain access. The yanks and the aussies ask "What do you bring?" and ask for proof, credentials etc....we're just happy to let whoever in and take it for granted that they're all going to do some poxy low paid, long houred job to pay the rent, when all they really have to do is sink their teeth into the social welfare tit...

    As for keeping those with serious criminal records out...yeah...but in the majority of cases we're barely checking these people's passports let alone ringing the [insert apt country]'s embassy or whatever to do any background checks. Chances are such a system to allow for checks is barely in place amonst the original EU member states, let alone with the accession states and definitely not with the relevant African countries...

    Oh right. So both races did it but de blacks were worse...

    My, Africa's a rather big place. Be more specific. Really.
    And why is Africa worse since independence? That would be the legacy of colonialism. Oppression leads to oppression.

    Wasn't what I said. Was just counteracting your assertion.

    OP your statistics seem to refer entirely to America. No-one would doubt that there is a lot of crime among the black population in places like Detroit and even in parts of the UK.
    But most of the black immigrants coming to Ireland come from impoverished African nations. Many are genuinely seeking asylum to make a better life for themselves, to escape famine and war. Some have to flee just so their daughters won't suffer genital mutilation.
    I agree with AlmightyCushion - if they have something to contribute to society and come to work, then they should be allowed stay here.

    Your opinion seems to be that crime will get worse if black people keep entering the country. The only correct response to this would have been old rolleyes, but since he is no longer around :rolleyes:

    (btw Karoma's replies have been fantastic, I lol'd :D)

    Are you a Stormfront regular who decided to bide your time here before launching into the racist drivel?

    Yup same in the UK. All the areas with highest gun crime-Moss side, Brixton, Lambeth, Hackney etc, are all west-indian areas. It's not a coincidence ffs. It's the same in Paris too.

    One should look more generally at Africa in relation to Asia, Europe etc. Why is it so far behind and chaotic? None of it is for 'genetic' reasons?

    No, and it's not racist, it's just a statement of facts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,494 ✭✭✭ronbyrne2005


    Not-very-Affable, even if black people commit proportionately more crime it is'nt because they is black. Think about where majority of worlds black people are? The poor parts of the world and the poor parts of western countries. Maybe if you said "Blacks commit properportionately more crime than whites likely as a result of socioeconomic, cultural/environmental factors" you might get a better response.

    I assume these are the poorer parts of the city's aswell?

    Nope, like I said: it's the legacy of colonialism. Your views are hateful.
