Black People In Toronto Are Nearly Four Times More Likely To Be Arrested By City Cops For Drug Possession When Compared To Other Races

When you are born in the projects to a single mother, this is where you are likely to end up. By age 35, approximately 50% of black men have been arrested, 35% have been convicted, and 25% have been incarcerated.
Any of us born under those circumstances could have ended part of that horrific statistic.
In some neighborhoods, 70% of all blacks had been incarcerated at some point, were on parole or awaiting trial.

To hide this deplorable state of affairs of black men, the media highlights stories of successful black athletes and entertainers: Lebron James, James Harden, Jay Z, Ye. To paint a false picture of blacks in the United States

Prior to the Dem's "war on poverty", most black families were two parents.

Not a genetic connection. But definitely a sociological one...

Yes, poverty is very closely connected to violent crime.

One of the American problems is that rural white projects (aka trailer parks) don't have the same level of police enforcement despite similar amounts of drug abuse and criminality.

Or at least that's what the right wing talking points keep saying.

Black People In Toronto Are Nearly Four Times More Likely To Be Arrested By City Cops For Drug Possession When Compared To Other Races

To the surprise of no one, racism is alive and well around the world, including right here at home. VICE News obtained data that exposed how Canadian police

What else is new...

Arent they also more likely to be searched in the first place. So when you factor that in is there really much difference?

 

[frankcastle]

The report also found that only a fifth of all charges laid in that time frame resulted in a conviction, but charges against Black people were more likely to be withdrawn and less likely to result in a conviction, which the commission says "raises systemic concerns about charging practices."

Will people please stop beating the rap culture drum.
Take a look at rock n roll and youll find songs that glorify violence, drinking, drug use, sex etc.
Its a case of cherry picking..... people ignore that tupac had songs about appreciating what a mother does, or how its okay for his friend to want to quit a life of crime. Or public enemy and krs1 who promoted education and social consciousnes. Now you can aruge those guys were late 80s early 90s but several other waves of socially conscious rappers have since followed.

Sorry but this just reeks of people who dont really understamd the style of music making broad generalizations.

Just like how prudes thought Link Wray the Rumble might cause a riot or that Elvis hips were too much for TV.

People want to blame TV, music, video games but frankly its really muxh more simple than that.

Take a family of any colour put them under financial pressure and watch the kids struggle.

I thimk we also beed to be careful about comparing USA to Canada. We are not without our problems but there are enough differences that you cant just take an amwrican star and import it to our country

Would you concede that there is a fundamental problem of disproportionate broken black families? Example.
My sister in law and her husband emigrated to Canada thirty years ago from Ghana and left behind 3 children. The children were thriving in prestigious local schools in Ghana sponsored by their parents.
Then the children joined their parents in Toronto and they continued to thrive here. Then the marriage broke up and the kids went to Vancouver with their mother. Dad disappeared to the US never to be heard from again.
Mom worked two jobs to support the kids. Left to their own devices, the two boys joined local gangs. Both are dead. The girl had a child, dropped out of school and joined the stripper circuit.
Such, sadly, is the fate of so many black children.

Liberals like you would rather point fingers at racism than confront the cancer in black communities.
In 1965, Assistant Labor Secretary Daniel Monahan raised alarm at instability of black communities. It came to be known as the Monahan Report. The percentage of single black mothers at the time was 21%. It is over 70% today!

There is a fundamental issues with poor, single parent families and since financial concerns are one of the largest causes of divorce... And of course the lack of money makes it harder for poor families to overcome the negative aspects of a single parent family.

In the US (and yes, significantly due to the results of slavery and the way it was ended), black people are poor at a higher rate than white people.

In Canada, the ethnic breakdown of poor communities does depend on the location. In the GTA, people of colour make up a noticeable amount of the poor. Indigenous people are the largest poor ethnicity in much of the North. The poor in the Maritimes tend to be white and in the Vancouver area, Asians are a noticeable part of the poor. And there is absolutely no coincidence that those groups are the same groups convicted of violent crimes in those areas.

I know it is too complex for some but could it be that misconduct by people employed to protect the society is different from misconduct by a random person?

One man dead after 'brazen' shooting at North York plaza

One man has died following a shooting at a busy plaza in North York, Toronto police confirm.

toronto.ctvnews.ca

All the people interviewed were black. So it is fair to assume the victim and perpetrator are both black.
They interviewed a (black) Pastor Sherman. He said he has been attending more funerals than weddings.
Gangs, drugs, arrests, "brazen" killings. All due to racism, right?
Black on black killings is far more than murder of black people by law enforcement.

Not a genetic connection. But definitely a sociological one...

Exactly, it ALL has to do with culture and nothing to do with genetics. it is passed on from generation to generation and throughout the community. That is why whites in general, have higher crime than east Asians. It is a cultural issue.

Anybody scared to walk through the poor white areas of the east coast or poor Asian areas of Vancouver? Perhaps a comparison of the crime levels of the poor areas in each region, now that they have been identified, would be quite interesting. Which area is one most likely to be shot. Anyone want to guess?

Are we learning yet. Perhaps the crime is higher throughout the financial ladder in certain communities. After all, how many murdered rich white musical artists are there . How is the comparison of the rich sports star community.
