I couldnt have said it better myself!!!
So, where is this racism that people speak of?
And Cairo does have a good point. European whites and blacks are certainly different than American ones. They dont kill each other over tennis shoes. They are educated and dont waste time dribbling over skin color. Just like i said, it is situations that make people evil, and America is an evil county.

good point..and why does this happen? Why do people kill over things that are inane? Is it the race? Is it only blacks that do this? Or are whites doing it too? Do you see chinese people doing this?

You think all white kids are one bully away from being a mass murderer.

White folks took the cake in 04. Table 2.3. Speaking of refuting, it's funny how you just conveiently chose not to refute my argument upon responding to yours here:
I looked at table 2.3 and it does not appear to relate to race, but the table right BELOW it does and it clearly shows there appear to be MORE black murderers, in raw numbers and without population differences factored in, even though we all know blacks make up only 13% of population compared to the whites that make up 69%.
I am confused, are you trying to prove that white people commit far fewer murders per capita than black people?
Or...sheesh...you DO realize that the numbers and squigly lines and text, that actually DOES have meaning right? I mean for those that are literate, they look at it and they don't just think "oh symbols and lines, that must mean he proved his point!"
Raw Data from Table 2.5 Murder Offenders
Total: 15,935 White: 5,339 Black: 5,608 Other: 271 Unknown: 4,717

My bad. Perhaps I should have said the majority of all white kids.
Check this link out: en.wikipedia.org...
You'll find a list of approx 49 cases of school shootings. I looked up the perpetrators of 36 school shootings (the remaining 11 I couldn't find any info about the perpetrators) and 22 out of the 36 were ALL white. The number of black kids was only 6. You tell me what that means.
On a side note, not all of these shootings were due to bullying btw. Basically, whether it's because of being bullied or just being a downright psychopath who's on a killing spree, you'll more often than not find a white person who's trigger happy when it comes to school shootings.

Yes, absolutely!
If we took away the monetary system, would we not all be the same?
The old saying "money doesnt buy happiness", well I think they should have said, "just kidding" afterwards. It might not buy happiness, but have you ever saw a poor person skipping?
Poverty is a disease, and most inner city kids are raised in poverty, thus, killing for shoes. No im not making excuses for them, its a situation, and situations create evil, or good people.
Like you yourself say, you have a temper? And in certain situations, you react differently. The situation creates the "you" of the moment. Which btw, bad boys are sexy..lol..ok ok, thats not the topic.

THE IRONY!
P.S Another thing (which was the original point I was trying to make.) I'd like to say about table 2.3 is that there were more white murder victims. While we don't know the race of the perpetrators, a majority of murders are race on race..ie black on black white on white etc. Hopefully you (and everybody else) can see what I'm getting at now.

Uhhh….the chart RIGHT BELOW murder victims shows the race of perpetrators, so we DO know!!
