Why is the murder rate in the US so high?

An ill-advised war on drugs coupled with the withering of the extended family seems to make for a fairly potent amalgamation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ergo, I blame black people. Fucking coloreds with all their "rap" music - if it can even be called that!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The statistics only indicate that there is something significantly wrong in the way the majority of black America lives. When thrown into outright poverty, crime quickly becomes a real option. The very nature of this country's policies allows for a highly profitable drug trade to prosper, and the ones left running it are the ones left with no where else to turn. Murder then turns out to a way of making more money, of finding your way out of the ghetto, of actually having a comfortable standing in life.

So before you're so quick to blame this country's problems on a single race, or any group of people, look a little deeper into the issue. Rap has only become one of many scapegoats the media at large, and petty hate mongers such as yourself, like to spew out.

There is no simple answer to this incredibly complex and widespread issue. Quit trying to make it sound like there is. You sound like a douche bag.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You're confusing correlation with causation. Again.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

A fact? Oh, really now? According to whom, exactly?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Let me just be sure to quote this before you decide to change anything. It's a shining beacon, a silent shout, proclaiming your downright ignorance, and I'd like to let everyone savor that.

And you really had the gall to call another poster out on his grammar?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

He has about as much influence as Los del Río.
