Black violent crime rate 3 times that of whitess

What is the cause, conservatives?

Why do you think this is? Can you give an answer that isn’t racist or doesn't dance around the actual cause?

As if.

MAGA.
 
The cincinati thing is a reminder of that.

The black community needs better leaders that encourage morality instead of victim hood.

Whiteness?
This might be news to you but CRIME IS A RESULT OF POVERTY!
If you go to Finland the highest crime rate will be among the lily-white residents of the poorest neighbourhoods. Go to Ireland and the highest crime rates will be in the pasty-faced poorest areas.
But it's a principle known well by trash-TV producers, among others, that everyone wants to feel superior to someone so it gets called a race issue.

This could be a factor. But what's to be done about it?

"The October issue of the journal Environmental Research features a powerful study from experts at Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati that makes the strongest conclusions to date about a long-suspected connection between toxic lead exposure during childhood and criminal arrests years later as adults.

The study is based on data from the long-running Cincinnati Lead Study cohort and advanced imaging techniques that provide unprecedented detail about adult brain structures that had been injured years before by exposure to lead paint dust and contaminated soils. The report states:

Our results revealed reduced regional gray matter volumes associated with measures of criminal arrests, and that some of these regions corresponded with frontal lobe volume loss associated with childhood blood lead concentrations. Childhood lead exposure harmed the developing brain, especially the regions that are responsible for cognition, decision making, impulse control, socially driven behaviors, emotional regulation, and risky behaviors. Though these results do not establish causality, they provided evidence suggesting that changes in the brain from lead absorption influences the structure of regions recognized for regulating cognition and social behaviors. Structural volume loss in these regions likely imparted functional deficits within these cognitive and behavioral circuits. Without these key regions and cortical networks functioning appropriately, the behavioral consequences could lead to criminal behaviors when individual and societal factors exert their influences on an individual.

Overall, about 78% of the children in the study who by today’s standard had elevated blood-lead levels were later arrested for alleged crimes. On average, each participant was arrested six times."

No, the problem is economic. It is caused by poverty. Literally every study done on criminality shows poverty is the single largest determinant.

“Culture” is just the Rightwing dance around the topic rather than admit capitalism might be a problem.

The idea that crime arising from poverty and social/cultural issues can be resolved by preaching "morality" to people has long ago been debunked.

It's the equivalent of trying to "pray away the gay", or ringing church bells to make the evil spirits of a storm go away.

It's not just poverty; it's also the proximity to others with wealth. Having poor people living right next to people who have ignites something in the human psyche.

Is poverty a culture? Is there a cultural connection between Compton and Niddrie in Edinburgh? In Scotland they speak of 'blade culture' in the dirty sides of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
So, what does Niddrie have in common, culturally, with Compton? Hmmm...

And illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizens.

American citizens need better leaders. Someone not in the Epstein files.

Could you provide an example of a black cultural trait that cause this?

"There are lazy and unwise and harmful individuals of African ancestry. There are lazy and unwise and harmful individuals of European ancestry. There are industrious and wise and harmless individuals of European ancestry. There are industrious and wise and harmless individuals of African ancestry. But no racial group has ever had a monopoly on any type of human trait or gene—not now, not ever.” ― Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America
 
Violence is just conflict resolution when you have no other effective means of resolving disputes.

You might want to step down on that statement when your white leader is currently the immoral perpetual victim Trump.

You should direct ice, the fbi or some new gestapo to deport them back to Africa or the Caribbean or some gulag in a third world country. It's what Jesus would want.

Um.... no that's nonsense
