Why blacks and hispanics commit more crime
Posted by Seth on May 14, 2007 , 5 Comments
Racists would have you believe that the overwhelming majority of minorities in prison is a result of their race. Activists say that the police are just racist themselves and target minorities. While the latter may have some truth to it I feel that the real reason is money. People without much money commit more crime. Well maybe not more crime but more blatant crime. It seems people with money are either smart or rich enough to cover their tracks (most of the time). Check out the stats below for the US median income
There’s almost a 20k per year dip from whites to blacks. If my theory is right, a more even distribution of wealth should lower crime rates.

Hi Seth,
This morning a lady tagged me with one of those meme things which I tried. You don’t come across as a meme sort of person but since you were one of the first people to ever comment on one of my posts, I thought you might like to try this one too. I put a link to your site on my post today.

So your solution to the minority propensity toward crime is to use the government to steal FOR them? My, what an interesting grip on morality you have! Funny how our immigrant ancestors didn’t need that sort of “help” to rise to prosperity.
Who said anything about government assistance or theft? What I mean when I say even distribution of wealth is that CEOs shouldn’t have billion dollar salaries and factory works shouldn’t have to scrape by.
If we raise the minimum wage and pay people respectable salaries then government assistance won’t be needed as much. In theory anyhow.
The problem even shows itself in white collar positions. I’ve seen job listings for System Administrators who have to have 10 years of experience in both Windows and Linux plus Solaris. Not to mention be an expert in C and Assembly and of course have a Bachelors.
I’ve even seen 5 years experience with rails in a recent job search. The technology itself wasn’t out that long! The real kicker is they want to pay 30-40k for this type of employee.
Good employees with good skills come at a price and in todays market 30k just doesn’t cut it and is bullshit when the CEO has a yacht bigger than my old high school.
I hope you read this Francis and take the time to respond with more knee jerk conservative nonsense.
I totally agree with you. We live in a society where there is a heap of wealth for a small minority and the rest get poorer and poorer. Racism is just a tactic in keeping these people poorer.
Policing is just a way of keeping these people in ‘their place.’
1. market economics 101,
if you do not want to work for minimum wage, DON’T.
That naturally increases a) outsourcing to illegal immigrants (see other post) b) the wage companies are required to pay
i.e. louisianna had mcdonalds that were paying 20.00 an hour…
