@enotsnavdier6867 The difference is that in North America the Chinese were poor, and hated by wealthier and privileged white people. See here's the difference between the Chinese and other asians vs so many black people. In the face of racism and inequality, the Chinese could've gotten angry, became violent and started rioting and destroying things until they gained some 'equality'. Instead they chose to spend their time on working hard, getting their kids educated and opening their own businesses to serve their own people. In short instead of getting angry at being mistreated and not having things given to them, they adapted to their environment and directed their energy to building things and lifting their people up. Perhaps black people should try and learn to do that sometime instead of tearing themselves and everyone around them down.

@jasminewilliams1673 But making generalizations about the entire community filled with older citizens, kids, employed people traveling to the white side of town to work less desirable jobs has nothing to do with anything you experience. Broad generalizations. You mean like how many black people do it towards white and non-white people and we all have to go along with or else we're racist? Seems like its always the same few groups of people who are allowed to make broad generalizations of other people without facing much backlash that other groups of people would for doing the same.

Because its the only way to excuse and justify horrible black behaviors that we would never tolerate from most other groups of people. To even try to hold them responsible for their actions and words the way we do with most other people would get them angry and have them accuse you of racism and that would be a near death sentence to your livelihood if not your personal life as well.

It doesn't have to be that way. Its only that way because the people there allow it to happen and refuse to do anything about it even if it destroys their communities. Poor asian people who came to western nations with little to nothing could've easily fallen into the same trap, but instead the vast majority of them took a different path where they saw a great opportunity to build a new life in a peaceful and largely stable new homeland and they took advantage of it rather than settling in their new homeland and proceed to tear it down.

@ampersand2001 You should feel lucky you have the privilege to laugh at such a thing. Violence doesn't just happen, there are reasons. Don't you think its a massive coincidence that violence and crime mostly only follows the same couple of demographics of people no matter where they settle in the world? Its like seeing a particular brand of cars breakdown at much higher rates than other car brands and then getting angry if anyone criticises that brand of car for being unreliable instead of holding that car brand to a higher standard if they want people to buy their cars in the future and not see them as garbage.

@altrag Street-level violence is, for the most part, correlated with poverty and low-income communities. Low-income communities also tend to not be able to afford things like proper road maintenance. (Or good schools, meaning the next generation is more likely to remain low-income and continue the cycle for potentially decades, which means higher rates of violence in addition to even further roads deterioration for decades, rinse and repeat.) Absolutely disagree. If you want to say there are more low level crimes like shoplifting, pickpocketing, theft etc. then sure that's believable. But to say that being poor means you automatically become violent and murderous? Nope. That's a product of poor upbringing and shitty culture. There are HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people living in asia who live in far worse poverty than any black person in the US will ever see and yet they don't have even a fraction of the violence and crime that we see in black communities. Everyone wants to blame poverty and supposed lack of support because its easy and it doesn't point the finger at any specific group of people. The truth is some groups of people can live in poverty and still remain largely peaceful, non-criminal and mostly civilized while other groups of people can live with wealth and still be ghetto as hell. All you need to do is look at many of the rich black people in the US to see that being rich doesn't make you more peaceful and less violent.

@sea_yung I'm saying that practically with anything else in life whether it be products or services or almost anything you can think of, we have no problems with criticizing things and asking for improvements and holding businesses and people accountable when they do bad. When you get bad service you can complain about it. When you buy a product and it breaks easily you can hold people accountable and ask for restitution. However when it comes to holding people accountable for their actions and words all of a sudden certain groups are off limits. If its white people that are violent or committing crime or are racist, no one has a problem calling them out and demanding that they change, BUT when its black people doing the exact same things or worse, far too many people come out of the woodwork to defend their horrible behaviors and make excuses for them and if someone should dare criticise them and try and hold them accountable for their actions they're called racist, discriminatory, anti-black etc. I mean do you not find it extremely hypocritical that we can't even hold black people to the same standards as everyone else and be able to criticise them as we would anyone else if they behaved poorly?

@kevinaguilar7541 Pretty much every single race/ethnicity has had violence, tragedy and horrors visited upon them in one time of their history or another. The difference is that those race/ethnicities that become successful are the ones that are able to MOVE PAST those past tragedies and they choose to work hard in the present for the well being of their families in the future. The people who are the least successful are the ones who can't put the past behind them and instead forever live in the past and have it define them as a people. Black people and natives seemingly can't go a day without talking about their past history of being victims while asians who have been victimized haven't forgotten their history, just that they believe that living in the past is pointless and that the most sensible thing to do is to work towards a better future for themselves and their society. Its a shame black people can't adopt the same perspective and give up on guilt shaming and grifting off their past and instead concentrate on raising their kids right, getting them educated and having them become decent people rather than growing up to be the next generation of thugs and criminals.

The thing is most minorities DO NOT suffer while living in the US. Many are doing very well if not better than even white Americans are and even those immigrants that aren't doing as well financially, the vast majority of them aren't violent and criminal like far too many black people are and as a result most of them are living in peace unlike black communities of whom so many are crapholes to this day.

@sea_yung though i do agree that in this day and age, black people are treated as if they're "off limits" to criticism, i think it is valid to a certain extent. as the video describes, blacks have historically been subjected to various racist practices that have unfortunately put them in such a position to commit crimes. I disagree. This is just taking agency away from black people for all the violence, crime and general bad behavior that they exhibit on a daily basis and making excuses for them. In Canada we do this not only for black people, but also for native people as well and we should STOP doing so because its treating these groups of people as if they were children that have no control or awareness as to their actions and words and so we should excuse their poor behaviors as a result. We would NEVER do this for white people and most anyone else and yet its perfectly fine to do so for black and native people here where I am and its just insane. And the sad thing is that we allow this to happen not just in the US and Canada, but pretty much in every western country. Anytime they behave poorly there will ALWAYS be people to defend those behaviors when they would NEVER do it for most other people doing the same thing. Also with regards to 'racist practices' that make black people become violent and dangerous, that's UTTER BULLCRAP and its just another excuse to justify their crappy and violent behaviors. In Canada black people were never enslaved or had any kind of Jim Crow laws pushed onto them. I'm not saying that blacks in Canada never faced any racism or something, but what they faced is basically minor in comparison to what blacks faced in many other parts of the world. In fact so little have happened to black Canadians, they need to grift off of what has happened to black people in the US and elsewhere in the world to make themselves out to be bigger victims than they really are. the way you compare unreliable cars with violent demographics is pretty much saying that these people groups are inherently violent The comparison I was making had less to do with cars themselves and more to do with the company and the leadership in charge of making those cars. Namely if a company puts out an unreliable and/or dangerous car, then you can demand that they fix things or simply stop buying their product. The thing is you can't do that with black people. If they're violent and criminal and you try and hold them accountable for their actions, they call you racist and anti-black. On the otherhand you can't ban them from stores because they keep robbing you and you can't arm yourselves against them because if you fight back and injure or even kill them, well you're in deep shit for possibly committing not only murder but a 'hate crime' as well. So the public is pretty much screwed when living with black people. You're not allowed to demand that they change and shape up and you can't avoid them completely because they're everywhere and you can't stop them from going to the same places that you go to. If you own a store good luck to you because even if you hire security, they usually won't do anything to stop shoplifters because not only can the guards get injured, but also if the guards injure the criminal then the guard and store are possibly held liable and can be sued. Liquor and many other big box stores literally allow thieves to walk out with stuff and not even bother trying to stop them because its simply not worth it these days. The point is with a product or service if its crappy you simply stop buying and the company has to either change or lose customers and money and potentially go bankrupt. With black people you can't hold them similarly accountable and demand that they change because 'that's racist' and yet you can't stay away from them or ban them from places because that too is racist. So people are just stuck with living with these violent and criminal people and they have to do so in silence for fear of backlash for even the most mild of criticism towards them which is just plain wrong.

@altrag There is still a correlation though, especially in countries with high numbers of firearms. Being poor is stressful, and stressed out people are more likely to "snap". Except there isn't. You really need to get out of your bubble and see how literally HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of asian people are living in poverty in their countries that don't become violent people. There's very few if and black people living in a western country that lives in worse poverty than countless millions of asian people do and yet those asians living in absolute squalor still don't grow up to be violent and criminal like other groups of people do. Also blaming guns is just another excuse when violent people will be violent with or without weapons around them. How many times have we seen asian and other people get randomly punched and assaulted and the majority of the time it was with fists and the perpetrators were black? Its always interesting to think that if the majority of these kinds of attacks were carried out by white people that we'd hear neverending crimes from our politicians, the media and the victims that white perpetrated hate crimes against minorities must end and how we need to fight against 'white supremacy' and all that stuff. And yet when its black people behind the majority of these crimes all these same people go radio silent because they're too scared to speak up for fear of getting cancelled. On the other hand, there is almost zero research showing "black people are inherently more violent", and the vast majority of what there is in that vein is from 100 years ago when people were using "science" to "prove" their bigotry. Pretty much all such research has been discounted. Whether or not black people are 'inherently more violent' can be debated. What CANNOT BE DEBATED is that far too many of them make poor life decisions and do things that keep the problems they face going rather than fixing those issues. Doing an utter piss poor job of raising your kids and not getting rid of all the criminals and other bad people in your neighborhoods is something most other groups of people don't do. And I mean, if you paid attention to anything other than skin color you'd notice that poor white people are just as prone to crime as poor black people. 100% false. Find me any poor white community anywhere in the US that has a crime and violence rate that comes close to the crime and violence rate of black people? You can't. I've tried to find it and have yet to do so. If you can find it then please post the links here became I'd genuinely like to read about it. The existence of shitty humans is function of humans being humans, not a function of melanin concentration). No one ever said that a person's skin color makes you more prone to being violent and criminal, BUT its pretty damn clear that black people are among the most violent and criminal no matter where they go in the world because of their poor life choices and inability to raise their kids properly to be decent human beings with morals and compassion for their fellow man. I live in Toronto one of the most diverse cities on the planet and yet the vast majority of violent crime is still committed by black people here. People from all over the world can come to this city and find a way to largely co-exist with each other in a peaceful and civilized manner except for one or two groups of people who can't do the same or even live in peace with their own kind.

@kevinaguilar7541 I believe you're basing this on unfactual media with its bias and enivitable under representation. I was in a highschool that contained 60% Africa Americans. At least to the friends, acquaintances, and overhearing, not one ever complained to me that it's the white man's fault. How far back are we talking about when you say you were in highschool? Also maybe where you went to school they don't blame white people, but in recent years more than ever where I live in Toronto, almost EVERYTHING is being blamed on white people and particularly white men and its coming from not just black people, but from native, muslim, LGBT and women as well. There almost isn't a day that goes by where someone isn't blaming something on white people and how horrible they are. It really is quite a sight to see how willingly white people largely accept getting beat up so much with relatively little push back and the few that actually do try and stand up, they're immediately beaten back down and told to shutup. I have black neighbors on the right side and in front of me. From what I understand, they're pretty successful. I never said that there aren't successful black people and I don't doubt there are many out there, but relatively speaking they're still vastly dwarfed by many not so successful and very violent and criminal black people which is why their crime rates are so high. And another thing white people are the dominant ethnicity of the country, and thus have a undeniable advantage in pursuing a successful life. The laws and society were founded by white people and it is bias for them. Here's the thing. I believe US and Canada as well are some of the most fair countries when it comes to treatment of minorities and if anything in many cases they bend over backwards to help them in favor of other Canadian people. Even if it isn't 100% perfectly equal, its pretty damn close and its why so many asian and Indian people who live in western countries become successful and self-sufficient and often even more successful than white people are. The system is there for everyone to take advantage of and we live in largely peaceful countries even if certain people are hellbent on turning it into crapholes and what many people refuse to recognize is that some groups of people simply choose to work hard and get educated and make a life for themselves while other groups want practically everything handed to them on a silver platter and EVEN THEN THEY STILL COMPLAIN that its 'not enough'. A prime example is the difference between Somali and Syrian refugees in Canada. Somali refugees have been in Canada for 30+ years and they're still at the bottom in progress and still are at the top in crime and violence and if anything they're getting even more violent these days. In contrast the 70,000 Syrian refugees that Canada took in since 2016 are progressing pretty decently and although some Syrians are doing better than others, the main thing is that the amount of crime and violence from them are extremely minimal. Both groups came from war torn countries to a nation that welcomed them in and yet one group of refugees decided to bring the violent and criminal behaviors from their home country to their new country and have made things worse here. The other group is actively trying to get themselves educated, working and are seeking to cause as little crime and violence as possible and so far they have. Both groups have the same opportunities to become successful in Canada and yet the Syrian refugees have probably accomplished more collectively in 6 years of living in Canada than the Somalis have in 30+ years and they've done it without all the crime and violence. One group chose to take advantage of the opportunities given to them in their new home and the other chose not to. The point is even if you believe white people have the advantage in western countries, there's still plenty of opportunity for everyone else to become successful if they're willing to work hard at it and its why asian people are consistently at or near the top in success nearly everywhere they go and settle because all they want and ever asked for is the chance to improve their lives. In contrast we have blacks and native people here who demand everything be given to them and EVEN THEN with endless amounts of help and affirmative action they STILL end up at the bottom in terms of having their people become successful, mostly problem free and peaceful. This isn't the problem of the government and the system not giving them enough help, this is a problem of some groups of people making extremely poor life choices and not willing to accept the consequences of those choices and even worse most people are more than willing to make neverending excuses for them rather than holding them accountable like we do for most other people.

@Tekuani Aakab Compton is what happens when you historically refuse to integrate businesses into your urban landscape, enforce low density housing, and perpetuate systemic inequality. Here's the thing. Why can't black people get together and make things happen ON THEIR OWN instead of relying on racist white people to do it for them? You know like how asian people have been doing for decades everytime they immigrate to a western country. They don't wait for people to hand everything on a silver platter to them before they can start to succeed. They go out and make things happen for themselves and for their communities which is why there are Chinatowns wherever Chinese people settle in significant numbers because they create businesses and social services that serve their own community rather than waiting for people to build it for them. And you know what the funny yet sad thing is? People can actually build all these things for black communities and they still mess it up and tear it down. Kinda like how Walgreens put stores in poor areas to try and help those neighborhoods and instead of people being happy and taking care of these stores, the people there do what they always do and plunder and rob these stores until they close down and then they again begin the cycle of whining about 'lack of services' in their communities and attribute it to 'systemic racism'.
