-Blacks were undeniably oppressed during most of America’s existence. The extent to which is often times vastly exaggerated. [[Lynchings>>/lynching]] is often cited as commonplace and done out of pure racial hatred. Most American’s have no idea that lynchings were carried out against White American’s as well, and quite frequently. It didn’t occur as often as it did to blacks, but given the disparity we see today, it’s unrealistic to claim that none of that disparity is due to higher crime rates. |

There are many issues with the modern justifications given for black crime rates. These crime rate disparities exist all over the world, without exception. If the historical legacy of slavery was so impactful and crippling you would expect to see America to be unique in its disproportionate rape, murder, and violence committed by blacks but that isn’t the case. The same occurs when blacks are a significant population everywhere in the world. |

-The impact of slavery also holds little connection to the modern day. Blacks aren’t suffering from crippling social exclusion or shame about their past. Rather they are given free reign to inflict whatever violence they wish on the White population without fear of hate crime laws, [[excessive sentencing>>/sentencing-disparities]], collective shame or guilt, or even impact on their future career prospects. |
