    Love the new quote.

    Anyone can prosper here. Cultures the world over come here and prosper. They escape untold horrors and poverty, arrive with nothing and build success through hard work. Asians don't rob that many liquor stores. Indians not often looting opportunists. Not seen a lot of Jewish flash mobs.

    There is a cultural problem in American black society. Pretending there isn't or ignoring it serves nobody. Giving it wide birth, blaming the systemic problem on outside forces simply feeds the animal, and it grows by entitlement. What stands between its unchecked growth and civilized society? The police.

    And here we are.

    If you tossed out all black crime, we don't rank that low against the world. It is not a genetics issue. Black society in England, for instance, demonstrates this. There is no affectation in their speech. There is no prevalence of disproportionate crime.

    The American black subculture is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing blight. I cannot think of a single positive thing that has erupted from it in 20 years... but has wrought so much pain and death.

    American culture on the other hand, which includes all races is brilliant.

    Or white ones, or green ones.

    Despite the attempts, race is not the issue here.

    The social atmosphere in Iceland is the reason.

    When it comes to police, it's a two-way street.

    On the one hand, some black people react in either problematic or aggressive ways toward police. That can quickly lead to escalation.

    On the other hand, the distrust that a lot of black people have toward the police is understandable. Clearly, police often react differently toward blacks than toward whites.

    It's been shown on numerous occasions how police have even handled white riots differently from black ones. So when there's already a bad relationship between blacks and police, you can't expect things to go smoothly.

    When comparing black culture in the UK vs. black culture here, you still have to compare how much worse off blacks were here than in the UK for a lot of our history. The UK wasn't exactly racially tolerant for a while, but they didn't have the KKK. No part of the UK compared with the Deep South during the Jim Crow era in terms of race relations between whites and blacks.

    I'm not saying that current black culture can completely blame history or white people in general, but we have a lot more damage to overcome here than compared with the UK.

    That being said, there are definitely things that the black community needs to improve within. That's the catch, though. Only they can improve these things. All we can do as outsiders is improve the system, hence the reason why we focus on the systemic side.

    Seems to be pretty logical wouldn't you say? Is it just a coincidence that all white areas have far less crime and murder rate then all black areas?

    Also, poor areas have more crime than rich areas.

    Whilst I appreciate the need to make everything wholly about race, that seems to be a bit on the inaccurate side.

    Nah. We could massage the culture through their own media to make them more docile... but we don't. Its the wild west. Violence and depravity sells. We would need a mechanism I am not fond of to do it... to stamp it all out under a label of cultural revival... it would be terribly unpopular... and hard to make constitutional. So it will have to wait for when I become your benevolent dictator.

    The systemic problem facing black culture is not the police, it is the parent. Yeah, that was singular.

    Well, I think what will more likely occur in the next 20 years is that the lack of a white majority or a change in the definition of white will change policies like affirmative action.

    If current demographic trends continue, we will be a minority-majority country in about 20 to 30 years. There will be no single racial group that makes up over 50% of the population. It will probably be about 1/3 white, 1/3 Latino, and 1/3 everyone else.

    Now, if Latino just becomes part of a broader white culture (like how Irish and Italians blended into it), then whites will retain a majority, but it will be a very different overall culture from the current white culture. Latinos tend to sympathize less with blacks in terms of things like a lack of opportunity.

    In either case, without having the same kind of white majority in charge, social policies with regard to race may become more Darwinian, and in the long run, black culture will either die out or will adapt to be more productive.

    There is no class warfare in Iceland. No government dividing their nation. Hardly any drugs at all.
    The friendliest place I visit.

    Some all-white areas in other countries have a lot more crime than Iceland has.

    I don't need anyone to agree with me, but this is not a "because there are no blacks" answer.
    That's a stupid, racist answer.

    If I point out that pythons in Florida are destroying the ecosystem there and are not producing good results, that doesn't make me a bigot. It simply means I'm pointing out facts based on observation and facts.

    The fact that you immediately jump to calling me and others racist is more indicative of your inability to defend your position, and instead to name call to dismiss and deflect.

    Was my statement inaccurate?

    The "There is no crime in Icleand because there are no blacks there" is a tired, worn out meme that has circulated amongst the anti black crown since there was an internet. This is not the first time folks have posted it on this forum. Your thought on the topic was not original. it is a bit of fodder from anti black sites that folks whip out every once in a while, hence my statement was accurate.

    I think you got it backwards.........the intent of the thread was to point out the fact that when a country's population is a homogeneous White population the crime rate is very low.......almost nonexistent. That's a very positive thing to know. Don't see any 'racial bigotry' there. Might make some folks move to Iceland.........I know I've thought about it. Definitely on my 'bucket list' of places to visit just to view such a blissful existence.

    Of course not. I have never seen an avowed white nationalist simply come out and admit their racial bigotry.

    So Iceland is the friendliest place you have visited........but it has nothing to do with the people there......you know, the White homogeneous population.......LMAO. Reminds me of a high school reunion I went to. We had attended an all-White school and the theme of the night was what a wonderful place our town was to grow up in the late 60s/early 70s.......no crime, leave your homes unlocked, kids ran free until nightfall, etc. One lady in my group starting saying that the only thing she regretted was the 'lack of diversity'. Later in the conversation she described how her husband's high school out in Tulsa(?) had been integrated through busing to achieve a 50/50 racial balance. She went on to describe what a horrible high school experience her husband had......not being able to use the restrooms without fear of violence......riots......group attacks on Whites, etc. Needless to say, he didn't go to his high school reunions. I finally just looked at the woman and said "do you not experience extreme cognitive dissonance by making those two statements in one conversation".........LOL

    Why is Iceland so free of violent crime ?

    .....because there are only three males living there and they have been castrated.?

    No criminal anonymity with small populations. Everyone knows everyone and their business.
