> I have never heard of African Americans emptying a house while the elderly occupants are still in, tearing apart the pipes to re-sell for tin, throwing the occupants down the stairs to die in agony, with a broken hip, for hours, all that for 50c worth of copper. Copper theft is a big thing in the US: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100917758 http://www.cnbc.com/id/100917758 - I'm sure there's someone in the US who did something close enough and we could find a sensationalised headline if we did enough research. You probably just have that one case embedded in your brain because it matches a preexisting narrative, a trivially common form of cognitive bias. > I have never heard Rev. Jesse Jackson explain that forcing the public rape of an 11 y.o. by her 13 y.-o. cousin is also a cultural thing. It's true, Jackson is more about defending people shooting the police with cries of "black lives matter!" while gang shootings continue to take about 13 black lives a day (and there's a lot more tragedies like Tyshawn Lee's than Laquan McDonald's out there.) If that's not practically an endorsement of having different values for what goes on inside the borders of a different culture, I'm not quite sure what is. And even if not, that's one man's specific political views versus an unsourced assertion and it fails to satisfy. > When a African American drug lord is arrested, his gang might challenge the authorities and defend him, but the vast majority of his victims, generally also African American, rejoice -- they do not spit racist slurs. Well, the police force is multiracial in a lot of cities, so racist slurs aren't always appropriate. There are plenty of places they'd just cry "Fuck the police!" etc. Inclusion on the police force may be a key difference, actually, though it's hard to be itinerant and hold that kind of a position at once. > African American don’t see White Americans as cattle to prey upon. Guarantee you there are some thugs out there who do. I wouldn't generalise, but I'm not yet confident that you should generalise either.
