The Insistence On “Culture” As The Explanation

     The statistics are devastating:

     Moreover, the trend is worse: Every year the FBI has collected statistics on violent crimes and crimes against property, the percentage of such crimes committed by young Negroes has increased. But the typical American who confronts those statistics will insist that “it’s not about race.” When pressed for an explanation, he’s likely to reply culture if he replies at all.

     But the thug culture that prevails among young American Negroes has gained increasing numbers of adherents among young American whites, too. If it’s a matter of culture, why has the percentage of such crimes committed by young whites not increased?

     The statistical trend does not correlate with the “it’s about culture” proposition.

     Good-hearted whites don’t want to believe that racial differences are the answer. Yet we lack any other that is consistent with the available evidence. So we insist that the cause must be something else… hopefully something remediable by the right federal program. Meanwhile the violence, the disorder, and the attendant squalor in heavily black districts continue to mount. Whites continue to move from blacker, more dangerous communities to whiter, safer ones. And governments continue to pour money on the problem as if we could drown it in a sea of dollar bills.

     This will not end well.

    Race has absolutely everything to do with this. Blacks have next to zero impulse control and have an overwhelming, hair-trigger propensity towards violence. Add to this, the fact that they – for the most part – cannot make any plans, past a first order of immediate effect. and cannot take consequences into account. This is due to their pre-frontal cortex being seriously under-developed, compared to almost every other species on the planet. I also read a report a few years ago that said that Sub-Saharan Africans share 26% DNA with now extinct early hominid, that DNA is not found in any other species of humanity. They’re different and they know it. Kipling was right about them mentally, “They are part demon, part child.”

    It’s the same as when cuckservatives blame black dysfunction on LBJ and the “Great Society.”  I always ask, “The same disincentives to form families, marry, get jobs, etc. were available to Whites, so why didn’t Whites suffer similar levels of societal and family breakdown?”
    The less knowledgeable just sputter.  The more knowledgeable say, “Well, White illegitimacy has gone up!”  Me:  “Yep.  From about 10% to 25%.  Black illegitimacy has gone from 25% to 75%.  Try again.”
    More sputtering.
    I follow with, “And outside the United States, blacks haven’t been victimized, as you say, by the Great Society.  So why do black areas and characteristics here so closely mirror those in other countries where blacks haven’t experienced the Great Society?”
    Usually they just walk away.  Sometimes they say, “Well, smart guy, what do YOU think?”  I answer, “The most proven facts in the social sciences are that blacks have a significantly lower IQ, far less impulse control, and a complete lack of future-time orientation, and that all three of those characteristics have a strong correlation with criminal behavior and violence.”
    “Yeah?  Well, Whites commit crime too!”
    You can’t talk to these idiots.  They’re also in the “immigration is fine, but just come legally” camp.
