There are people in your parish/county who drink and do drugs.
See, you failed to apologize, & I figured you would not do as you stated, even though I did as you asked, here is your statement.
"If you care to show me a place with no drugs or alcohol, I'd love to apologize."
And I told you of a place where there is no drugs or alcohol. You did not say anything about a county/parish, only a place, & I did!
You proved your untrustworthy. I should have known!
Actually per capita crime WENT DOWN when the casinos came to town- the police even said that. People had jobs and not just with the casinos, everything else that came with them too. Seventy-five percent of the gamblers come from TX anyway.That old prattle about drinking, drugs and gambling is just that- prattle. Shreveport had all that before and still has it now and it's due to the poverty and low education levels. And also due to the fundamentalist right wing religious bigoted people that inhabit the city. It's a very closed exclusive place,which is funny because it it such a sludge pot. I know I live here. I used to live in south highlands and the people there were just so snitty and elitist and so wrapped up in their church while sneaking out to the casinos to gamble and drink. I used to work at one of the casinos and would see people I knew sitting in a corner trying not to be seen with drink in hand pulling the handle.
You really want to say it is all the black people who are at the boats drinking, drugging and gambling and spending their welfare checks and that would be wrong, most of the people were white and female and middle class, but that would blow your theory up and you'd have to admit being a racist too. And you are from sw ark?!!!! You live in a sludgepot too, even worse! I mean, really nothing to brag about and actually I would be even more ashamed than Shreveport. Typical nasty redneck religious insular attitude. You need to get a life.
They seem to be saying that nation wide yet if its true why is our jails & prisons so crowed that they're running over & even have been releasing prisoner to make room for even more.
Reality is Stunning, when its acknowledged in full spectrum.
There is no saintly place ... when we see the random acts of mass murder, these kids almost always come from sterile looking community based on some highly promoted TV imagery of what people claim is a so called safe community, because the houses are new. Yet, it does not diminish the Mass Murder those kids invoke upon innocent people.
The people always say the same thing. “I’d never have expected this in our area". Then they follow it up by trying to sanitize it away, saying "his family was a good family, and we always thought him to be a very nice and likable kid, (even after he shot up, stabbed or just blasted away 20 or more kids).
When the guys beat up the wife, or the wife kills the husband, or one or the other kill the other for insurance money or over property. It's the same act of "trying to sanitize it away". Unfortunately, white people often like to play, "let's pretend it never happened". Until they are stunned into realism again, by another incident. They often go around with a "non suspect mentality based on one being of white skin". Until violence strikes yet again; and the cycle of "let's pretend it never happened"; Repeats itself, as it has done for centuries over and over and over again.
As to the so called "Sterile Midwestern Area", if just for the sake of humor.
Heck a few years back I drove to Indiana, and out in the middle of now where in the rural areas, the tallest signs I could see was for "sex toys".
Some of these so called "All American" (white dominant) cities, have more hatred toward others who are non white, as well as they have people who are quick and ready to engage some violence based on intolerance.
But that does not count the Friday night fights, or the Saturday night, knock someone out, commonality.
I have not heard one mention the crystal meth epidemic, or the Oxycontin problems, that are as hush hushed when people try and paint some of these areas as near saintly.
It just is not so. The acts of "sanitizing it into a diminish talking point" is the biggest activity which hides stuff, then when the next mass murder takes place, it is quickly blamed on "they did not take their med's"... but still a volume of people are dead, because someone wanted to be a killer. But they won't call it like it is, and simply label the person as a killer and in a variety of cases, "mass killers".
Black on Black crime is between individual, it is very rare that you hear of black people going out killing up a mass of random people while they sit in a movie theater, or at a school.
It is very rare that you hear of black people killing their spouse for insurance money. It is even more rare that you'd hear of black people 'killing the whole family, because they suddenly ran out of money or became indebted and can't get credit.
It is far more common in white society to see the man kill the woman, because she said she wanted to leave and may even kill the kids too. Then and only then do they decide to kill themselves, just before they realize they will be caught.
The media will run a spin on any black incident every 15 minutes for 3 days. When it white crime, they run it with 1-2 hour spreads between showing, and it fades from the headlines within a day or so. So, white people get a delusion that their crime is not rampant. Then it’s sanitized as if to try and pretend it’s an anomaly.
But, even TV Crime drama shows, can run 24/7 and be based on REAL LIFE incidents, but they make the actors and actress look pretty for the camera, so people don't believe the reality these shows is based upon. Nor do they want to believe the real life story when it put in the back recesses of the newspaper or in a small caption in the webpage.
I think before people get some delusion that white people are not violent; they may need to re-think the reality which truly exist, and not fall for the sanitation of white crimes.
Any City, Any Area with circles of Poverty, has crime. Crime is a commonality in the circle of Poverty. This has been studied and studied, and the conclusive result is the same.. Crime in Poverty Environment is high regardless of the Race, Ethnicity and color of the people’s skin.
There are clannish places in many States, where whites will have animosity, anger and violence against and upon other whites, simply because you are not from there, among a million of conjured up reasons it is brought into the existence. Some areas whites will try and high rent blockade the poor whites and minorities, and still they find crime and violence of a extensive variety, is still within their midst.
All this coded and covert racist stereotyping areas based on the color of skin is not fooling anyone, but people need to look with open eyes in their own ethnic communities before they absorb themselves into the bigotry of prejudicial stereotyped slants aimed at being covert racist implications in their intent to defame not only Cities but people.
Now there is other aspects people try to ignore because of spit and polished Tv imagery and copy cat looks based on TV melodrama. But reality is very simple. The high volume of Executive, and Corporate criminal conducts which results to devastate MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of people, is often crimes committed by white people with shirts and ties and titles. But that does not make the crime any less a crime, nor does it make the devastated which is generated by that crime any less of social violent acts against the people of this nations. When these types of criminals do their crime, it affects people in multiple states, and devastates whole communities. IT IS a form of violence against the good works and efforts of a great many people, which results to bring immeasurable devastation to whole cities, as well as thrust many communities into the most dire of conditions.
Now, we have not yet, addressed the crimes against women. IT IS NOT common to hear of black men dismembering women, and abducting women and holding them in bondage or those who imprison their kids in homes, some chained up, some boarded up and many other things. But when it comes to the crimes against women it is horrendous when one looks with open eyes as the mass of atrocities white men have committed against and upon white women. Yes, this happens in these same sterile appearing communities, as it does in the dissipated slums of poverty circles.
On a daily basis, there is the Likes of Rush Limbaugh, who has a national platform to teach hate, based on bigotry and racism by any and every covert means he can conjure to put forth. Then he is followed up by Hannity and O'Riley on national networks.
Glenn Beck got scared after he rebel roused so many from the rural enclaves until he knew that the backlash would reach back and grab him too.
One day, the poor whites will realize how they have been hoodwinked and betrayed, when their benefits began to get cut and they don't have other viable options, only then will they awaken and see they have been used like pawns. It took massive unemployment, before many in these same groups awakened to know that they need health care reform, and once they did they found out very quickly to ignore the right winger and go and get some insurance if they want treatment and care services. They also realized Jobs were not going to pay them enough to buy it, and if they did have to buy it, it would cut into their paycheck so deep they could only afford the plans which gave them nothing if it would even accept them. Only then did they awaken to see the benefit of Nationalized Health Care Reform.. many of those who now can get test, get treatment, have become wise enough to not listen to the Right Wing, who had a mission to think they were only going to force denial of service upon minorities. The denial of service consumed the white masses, then they awakened, and they will awaken even more as they learn to look beyond the sanitized versions and face up to the reality which consumes their spectrum.
Maybe then they won't any longer aim to be used as pawns to promote racism, they will see clearly that they result to be no better off, when they support policies derived based on racist agenda. This is the same with how people view cities. When people get over the racist tonality, they will find they are no safer in their sterile communities, because there is no label on it that makes it violence free.
History in America has shown white men will kill white men quickly, about money, material things, their want to possess and obsess about possessing women and certainly in situations where he has a avarice mentality toward his aim of the fictions of the white dream. And it is without a doubt, well documented 100's of years of history of violent white men enacting their violence motivations and violent actions against and upon blacks. The violence was so vile, they attacked blacks for the simply factor of aiming to deny acknowledgement as a human being and person who is American. Yet, they delighted int profiting from acts of abuse sanctioned by violence and threats of violence and demonstrations of carrying out those threats, all to support the avarice of personal material gain, and illusionary delusions of being more than simply a human being among other human beings.
Many have awakened from that delusion, when they found out, they don't have jobs, they can't send their kids for higher education’s and many can't even send their kids to vocational or technical training. Count that among the factors of those made homeless, those who have become reliant of diversionary means of gaining money among the many things and ways which exist to be unlawful.
The delusion of the house with the white picket fence and walk in closets in a "Leave it to Beaver" was an image made for TV... it just has taken many decades to learn of its fiction for the mass of the American people.
What people find it anguish at the realization of child molestations, rape and kids claiming they were inducted into homosexuality at an early age by this or that. Among the long running issues which caused the Catholic Church devastating financial challenges, to the likes of situations like the reality of the Penn State revelations.
Racism is a tunnel vision view that neglects to look in the whole of the spectrum by those who peer with racist intent. Rather than looking at the broad reality with inclusion to review their own secular spectrum.
White Violence was the foundation of process in America for Centuries and it has not vanished.

There is no one hijacking anything, because many of you choose one liner comments, a multi variable post does not indicate hijacking anything, it includes discussing variables, as well as including comparable beyond the limited variables some of you want to focus upon.
Shreveport is a town which suffered like many other towns from loss of Industry, and if you think all these things don't have inclusions of racist elements, then you are fooling yourself. Crime is tied to many things. Equally so, If you could " exclude or segregate crime to any particular specific, nor can you extract it from 'High Poverty".. if you can, then do so. But I doubt that you can.
The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) program, established in 1927, is a summary-based reporting system that collects data on crime reported to local and state law enforcement agencies across the United States. The UCR system indexes crimes under two headings:
