really? you wanna make a blanket statement about race is involved in how people are. then let the idiotic ideas go on and on. then post some bullshit about evolution and survival of the fittest and then say youre tired? . Yes, really.... and honestly, you're lucky I even dignified your post with as...

anyone care to address that the difference in percentage of white rapists vs black rapists (or murderers, thieves, whichever) is completely insignificant when compared to the entire population of either race? sure, according to your numbers there may be more black rapists than white rapists, but it...

My basement, AKA The Second Cup Cafe will no longer be hosting shows either due to Zach Krook and his merry band of rapscallions

There's an entire set of high school kids (or thereabouts) who need to take note of what they've seen, take note of what went right and wrong and take the reins.

Well, it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.

are you out of your mind? no one agrees with you on this. "genetic predisposition"..are you kidding me? congratulations, your views are officially more fringe than mine are. According to Ed that belief is well entrenched into American society. Which one of you is wrong? Nicely played. Tha...

This thread should be made sticky and titled "How Not To Be A Good Band"

and the next 84% could have the same racial make up, or could be completely different. anyone doing a serious study of race would know that 16% or even 30% is not enough data to build a serious, intelligent conclusion. Perhaps... but when you look at the make up of prison populations and the fact t...

Nope. I'm suggesting that world-wide, blacks are predominately on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale and are genearlly more disadvantaged than most and that is the reason they commit more crimes. Desperate people take desperate measures. For the millionth time in this thread, how do you expla...

It's not racist to acknowledge the simple, well-documented fact that black people commit a disproportionate amount of crime, not just in America, but in almost every country where they live. Your argument in this thread has seemed to be that it's genetic for Blacks to be more predisposed to a life ...

Hey....lets throw out some other racist "facts" about Black people: -All Black men have massive dongs -All Blacks have extra muscle fibers that make them better athletes -Black people in France are classier and less sketchy than your average Black American -Iowa has a low crime rate becau...

Just an assumption here, but I'd say that a big reason is because, like you've indicated yourself, these places are rural. Rural areas of the country that are poor tend to have agricultural backgrounds. These types of communities have historically depended on each other for help and support. Why do...

Where are Asians, Indians, Jews, Arabs, and Mexicans on the Most Likely to Be a Rapist list? I don't know about Asians - probably pretty low in the Japanese and higher in SE Asia. Mexicans (or non-white Hispanics to be more accurate) are more likely than whites but not as likely as blacks. Arabs? P...

None of the above has anything to do with him being a rapo. The reason he's a rapist is because he's a sociopathic douchebag. It has nothing to do with him being black, a cop, or how much money he makes. Perhaps. I know plenty of black people that aren't rapists (to my knowledge) but it doesn't cha...

Also I wanted to see what those of you who happen to believe that cops are all evil AND take a sympathetic stance towards minority crime due to the pressures of white racism, economic reasons and stereotypes. It's kind of a nice conflict of interest for our socially-conscious friends here on 515Crew.

And I guess y'all forgot about the white cops in Creston that raped that chick at the Cuntry Club. No. What does that have to do with the poll? Where did anyone say that white cops have never raped anyone? All I asked was what was the reasoning behind it - his profession, his race, socioeconomic st...

through the projects in North Minneapolis you would probably get jumped. So in other words you do not believe that blacks are more prone to committing crimes but at the same time there's a high likelihood that Joey (being white, of course) would get jumped for walking through an area with a high co...

And I'm supposed to believe those numbers are accurate because..............? Yeah, I don't believe it either. It's such a stretch to even fathom that black people commit crimes in much higher proportions. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I would feel much safer walking down a street in...

No. Blacks just get caught more often than whitey. I agree. We all know that places like East St. Louis, Gary, Indiana and Detroit are really just as peaceful and law-abiding as Des Moines (or anywhere else in the world where whites constitute a majority) it's just that in those towns the police ar...

+1. Still nothing redeeming.

if we use those numbers, that means this country has ZERO latino, native-american, middle-eastern, asian, "other" rapists. faulty statistics. The U.S. Department of Justice compiles statistics on crime by race, but only between and among people categorized as black or white. No, it just m...

my guess is the girl was wearing provocative clothing and thus "asking for it"

I wondered about that as well but I figured it's probably too cold to be wearing something that's "asking for it".

I'm going to say something stupid - see below where did it say patrol car? In the first paragraph. A Des Moines police officer was arrested and charged with attempting to sexually assault a 22-year-old woman in his patrol car early Friday i also dont see why there would be any reason to think it wa...

Ok, so we have a black DMPD cop who recently got busted for trying to sexually assault a 22 year old girl in his squad car.


Why did this happen?

Good work.

I hate health care. What a boring subject.

The way I see it unions take money from working people and use it to bribe politicians who in turn raise taxes on working people. Sorry, but I don't need a union goon to negotiate my terms of employment with any employer. Unions may have been needed back in the day, but now they are just bloated pi...

Dale would be a little more clever than this guy. Definitely not him.

As sad as it is, there was a good stretch of time where it probably was.

BUT...as a employee for the State, I see WAY too many people here abuse their union "privileges." They file grievances for the stupidest little thing, turn to AFSCME every time they do something that any person in any other profession would get fired for so the union will save their ass a...
