Civil rights act was signed in 1964
Gangster rap mid to late 80s and through 90s. And the war on drugs started in 70s with Nixon.

None of those three are solid answers. The problem was something that happened after Civil Rights act/Drug wars and just before Gangster rap.

That is privatization of prison. This started early in the 80s and soon the lobbying/bribery/kickbacks started. Other things like DrugWars/Gangster rap escalated in relation to increasing prison inmate in general public sphere.

Wait, prisons are privately owned in America? What the fuck.
>>
>>2963378
This is an incredibly over simplified answer and wrong on one account.

First issue is that Hispanics don't commit that much more crime than white people. Poverty is a far greater explanation for any sort of criminality among Hispanics.

As far as African Americans go it's more down to the complete collapse of the African American family unit, an incredibly self destructive culture, etc.

If it were inherently black people you'd see this among black immigrants but in reality that group is twice as likely to be college educated than the average white American.

I have a question for an unbiased intellectual anon here who may have some knowledge on this.

They say that black americans commit the most crime in the country. Do the statistics support that claim? It's hard to find reliable statistics on this, but say these statistics are true, then what conclusion can you make with this? Are blacks violent? Or are they persecuted for smaller crimes?
>>

>If it were inherently black people you'd see this among black immigrants but in reality that group is twice as likely to be college educated than the average white American.
There are some pretty significant barriers to (legally)immigrating to US unless you either have family there or are highly educated.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but making claims based on immigrants when the majority of ALL immigrants are highly educated is pretty dubious.

It's more to do with socioeconomic factors than anything. I'd also say that America tends to focus more on punishment than actually rehabilitation. The end result being repeat offenders because they've been hardened in prison and have very little opportunity once released.

I'll give the for profit prison system this. It may be destructive to society in general but they have really created a winning business model.
>>
There are a lot of reasons.
Tough on Crime legislation like the three strikes rule and minimum sentencing has put non-violent offenders behind bars for excessive sentences.
The same laws have overloaded the Justice System with cases and prosecutors as well as public defenders are incentivized to push cases through with plea bargains that result in jail time
Poorly managed prison system that has some of the highest rates of recidivism in the world. New non-violent inmates learn tricks and get connections from the old. Prisons do a poor job at preparing inmates to succeed back in life on the outside and for many their time spend in prison has done nothing but make them better criminals.

After crunching the numbers, it seems it doesn't actually save money.

And private prisons are more likely to push fines and less likely to release prisoners on probation. Because, duh, they make money out of keeping people inside. Also, in a for-profit prison system there are incentives to NOT reform crimminals: repeat offenders are loyal customers!

>>
>>2963739
It has other repercussions than reducing homicide rates, though. When one third of them can expect to go to prison during their lifetime (not to mention all the impediments your life has after you have a criminal record) you can't reasonably expect criminal rates to drop among the population. If their ethnic group is statistically more likely to commit crimes, caging them systematically instead of helping change the conditions that make them more likely to commit crimes is avoiding one unethical act by committing another.

Yes, blacks commit more crimes, there is absolutely zero doubt about that fact of life in the United States. But that isn't the problem. The problem is simply that black people typically do not have the money for a proper legal defense in the courtroom. Even if they DID have the money, they would not understand the importance of it because culturally they are not evolved on the same level. You don't even need to explain to a white family the importance of a good attorney, it is just instinctual for them to go and get the best one they can find.

>stupid white kid gets drunk and kills someone with their car
>family dishes out $20k in legal defense for a good lawyer to plea for involuntary manslaughter and get 2-3 years

>stupid black kid gets drunk and kills someone with their car
>uses a public defender
>gets 10 years because public defenders are shit

Now this may become construed as institutionalized racism which it isn't, it's just a byproduct of how the legal system works in the United States. To an extent, money can alter the outcome of the case. Black people don't have money. White people do.

>>2963829
Yeah, but they have higher homicide rates than most of sub-Saharan Africa.

Now I imagine some of this disparity is simply the result of African governments keeping worse records, but the primary factor is going to be landless peasants.

Latin America has an economic system built on peasant farmers, and peasant farmers have absolutely no good reason not to go join a cartel and make some beheading videos.

In Africa, the average person would be more likely to have title to the land they farm on, and would therefore have a community and a family that they have to keep happy in order to not get ganked.

Of course, it depends on the country. In places like the Congo, the homicide rate is probably so high that they simply can't measure it, because all of the statisticians and social workers have left. In places like Namibia or Botswana, where there is relative political stability, it's much safer than in Central America.

You have cited 2 factors, urban status and economic status, which do have effects, albeit small, on crime. If complex behaviors were reducible to wealth and population density and all of those factors acted on their own and not syndemically, we could say blacks are defective by nature. But neither of those is true, and poverty, population density, limitations to employment (some related, as pic related, to discrimination, and some unrelated), and the culture all those factors engender in historically poor and uneducated groups all are contributing factors to people having one or another behavioral trait (like violent crime and drugs) in their adulthood. The factors are so many that anyone speaking decisively on the importance of one over another is at least partially making a guess. But the fact remains, the experience of a black in the United States is in fact different to that of his white counterpart regardless of wealth and population density, and until you can isolate the myriad factors that constitute that (or rather, those) experiences you can't make conclusive or even slightly authoritative conclusions about skin color and crime.

Yes, because it wouldn't prevent people from becoming child molesters in the first place and it would put tons of people not bound to be child molesters in prison for the potential crimes of people who simply share a non-criminal (ok, for running red lights, slightly criminal) characteristic or set of characteristics with them. This example also fails to illustrate the intergenerational effect of mass incarceration, considering pedophiles are not mostly (though more often than the general population) born out of pedophile homes

Why would you lock up pedophiles when they're literally less likely to commit sex crimes against children than non-pedophiles?

By definition, if somebody commits a sex crime against a child, they are a pedophile.

Maybe I'm biased because I hire and fire people, but in my experience black candidates almost never prepare for interviews at all and bomb the fuck out of them, or do get hired anyway and end up being nothing but terrible and get let go in the first week if they even bothered to show up. It eventually becomes a self fulfilling prophecy with the older hiring managers who start to see it as a waste of time to bother with them. Business cares about the color green the most and the vast majority of discrimination comes from experience.

Then, once you get sent to prison for something arbitrary, you're more likely to commit an actual crime (meaning violate the NAP) when you get out.

It's an ineffectual system that actually creates more crime than it prevents and reduces quality of life for the noncriminal population.

Nobody is denying that history matters or that other factors are at play.

Genetics matter too, and more.

This has been a theory of mine for a while. It basically boils down to the concept that money/power knows no color. At the highest level of society, people are selected for the money they have or can generate. People aren't selected to fulfill some diversity quota - they are selected because they are qualified. And that's how the world works. Any debate beyond this is just stupid liberals trying to power grab

The homicide rate in Baltimore is nearly 20 times that of New York CIty.

This dictates that the average New York black is less homicidal than the average person from Baltimore.

This means that either black people in Baltimore have dramatically different genetics, or social and economic factors can change violent crime rates by nearly an order of magnitude within the same race, within the same country.

No, Botswana vs El Salvador proves that isn't the case.

>>
>>2963867
To expand on this, to say that race is the best predictor of crime is also not equivalent of saying race causes crime. Race is also a great predictor of poverty, of population density, of excessive imprisonment, of systematic discrimination in labor, of having a mediocre education, of dabbling in a culture that is conductive to crime and mores that are at odds with the rest of society, that is conductive to segregation which has increased over the last few decades, etc. - Each of these may be only a slight predictor of crime, but put together they are strong predictors.

Poor, rural, uneducated, heroin addicted dropout whites in Kentucky and WV do have higher murder rates and have higher rates of tons of crimes than the average population, but even their experience isn't quite the same as blacks in terms of conviction rates vs crime rates or in terms of social interaction with the rest of the country. No, I'm not belittling the suffering of so-called white trash, but their experiences are simply different.

> Blacks are simply violent because of MAOA and no amount of mental gymnastics about muh social factors can negate that.
You're taking a painfully simplistic approach to genetics and gene expression that shows off you've never stepped into a genetics or epidemiology classroom. Let's take the 34% European expression of the "violent" Monoamine oxidase A variant in Europeans and 58% in blacks. Not only, at first sight, does it not seem to explain that black crime is more than double that of whites-somehow, the 34% sample of European descendants who should be violent isn't committing as much crime as an equivalent 34% slice of blacks. This alone should tell you that it isn't as simple as genes. Looking deeper, absolutely no complex behavior is attributable by psychologists, epidemiologists, geneticists, etc. to a single gene or a set thereof. Genes need expression, which may (and in fact, is for MAOA) be regulated up and down by (CONTINUED)

...Epigenetic factors, which in turn need to play out in such a way that they influence the complex thinking and executive decision making of a human (last time I checked Homo sapiens isn't as hormonally driven to live its life as mice, is it?). These epigenetic factors include, but aren't limited to, traumatic experiences in childhood, by the way. These are some of the links in the decades-long human-environment interactions that result in the crime we speak of. This isn't mental gymnastics, as you say, it's seeing complex situations for what they are and not opting for a simple brainlet explanation.

Nobody has actually demonstrated this.

Intelligence is a multivariate genetic trait, which means that it's dictated by hundreds, possibly thousands of different genes interacting in ways we don't understand.

Nobody has found the genes that code for intelligence, and nobody knows enough about the relationship between genetics and intelligence to guess what somebody's IQ will be like based on their genetic code.

Adoption studies have been inconclusive. Black people with no white admixture don't have higher IQs than black people with one white grandparent.

Right, and you have yet to provide evidence that genetics is behind this different.

The average social conditions between poor black and poor white people are so different that even if genes do play a factor, ignoring any potential influence from the many other factors (population density, employment, social mobility, culture, relationship with local authorities, quality of education, likelihood of a present father figure, even lead content in water) is reductionist to the point of dishonesty and blatantly unscientific.

It's an informed decision, but that doesn't make it rational. You're playing off your own assumptions to believe the mom-and-pop Mexican place down the street is safer than Chipotle, when in fact it likely far more lackadaisical health precautions.

Similarly, declining to hire a person with an ethnic name due to racial bias can be informed but not rational.

Not really. As someone mentioned above we have plenty of successful African immigrants coming into the country so the idea that native black Americans will always lag behind loses traction.

You're right, it doesn't make the bell curve move over. However, it's pretty shortsighted to assume it's all a factor of race that the average IQ is so low in Africa. The continent is rife with famine, disease, etc. That's a far more compelling argument than the simple "Africans are dumb as a race argument."

African immigrants to the US tend to be upper class (disregarding the 50 IQ Somalian rapefugees), of course they're gonna be better than descendants of literal slaves, who are genetically predisposed to be eternal underclass.

Slaves tended to be from different societies than the slavers.

You'd have the Africans on the coast setting up kingdoms, sending armies inland to go capture more slaves for the international market, selling the slaves for guns, and then using the guns to capture more slaves.

There wouldn't really be a selection pressure, the people in the jungle never had any chance to escape.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- About 10,000 people in the United States may be wrongfully convicted of serious crimes each year, a new study suggests.

The results are based on a survey of 188 judges, prosecuting attorneys, public defenders, sheriffs and police chiefs in Ohio and 41 state attorneys general.

African American culture is kind of analogous to that of gypsies. The herd mentality, stealing and crime in general are ingrained into their heads from birth.

It's really hard to convey why so many people here don't like to associate with blacks or why some even fear seeing them until you come up with a sensible analogy.

I've met a fuckton of good black people that don't indulge in that subculture and they're genuinely good people. The most they'll do is listen to stereotypical rap. ANYONE (black, white, etc.) who does indulge in that subculture is usually shit.

tl;dr: black American culture is the cancer killing the black community.

It didn't. While it's true that Nixon declared war on drugs in '71, it was just a formal proclamation, drug related arrests started spiking up only with Reagan. And, shockingly, it reduced crime.

Because the communities themselves don't push for stricter laws, its typically the gated white communities a few miles down the road that do that.

Not him but there's a huge difference between Asian and native black Americans. For one, a huge amount of said Asians are coming over with a college education and have significant income and don't have a fractured home life. This means that their children have far better access to resources and a good education due to their parents education and are able to continue the cycle.

Compare that to some poor black kid. There's a good chance he's in a low income community with less access to resources, his father is likely not in the picture (which makes it depressingly likely that he will do the same to his children) and the local gang tends to have a big influence on his local community as well as himself.

Hell, that's completely ignoring African immigrants who come to this country and are on average have twice the rate of higher education attainment than the average white american.
>>
>>2966780
Asians are racialized entirely different Black people, especially because most arrive as immigrant professionals.

Asian Americans have their own baggage, but nothing comparable to the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. Very few Asian Americans are descendents of people who experienced the extreme anti-Asian oppression of the 19th century.

>>2963378
Any country you could be talking about (with a mostly white population) does not have anywhere near as strict laws about drug usage or possession as the U.S. Literally none of them.

You've failed to compare anything remotely analogous, simply ignored crucial variables (such as exploitable groups and government resources available to commit exploitation), and spouted mostly bullshit misinformation.

If I were to make the massive leaps in logic with little to no supporting evidence and a critical misunderstanding of causative interactions and reason itself, I'd take this opportunity to argue that racism makes a person stupid. For some reason, I get the feeling that you were either ignorant or plenty stupid all on your own before you started feeling this way.

>Any country you could be talking about (with a mostly white population) does not have anywhere near as strict laws about drug usage or possession as the U.S. Literally none of them.
Not him, obviously, but it's a dumb equivalence either way. There aren't any first world countries that have drug problems anywhere near the level of the United States. Iirc, something like 80-90% of the cocaine produced globally ends up in the United States. It's actually one of the biggest criticisms from Latin American countries when the U.S. asks them to crack down on producers. Consequently, the U.S. tends to step on usage harder than any other country because of the problem. Granted, the coke epidemic isn't a big problem anymore (albeit lingering). It's mostly methamphetamine and opiates these days.

I mean, it's $3.5 million per election cycle (7 per presidential cycle) which isn't anything to scoff at, but it's absolutely paltry compared to literally any other special interest group. Hardly evidence of some grand conspiracy like people in this thread are claiming.
>>
>>2969565
Private prisons only make up 8.5% of the prison population, or 133,000 prisoners. Does that really make such a huge difference in post-prison crime like people say?
>>
>>2969587
Doubtful. The reason I said it's not anything to scoff at is because campaign donations have a hard limit of $5000 per year per candidate for PACs (which is probably where the money is going). So $10 million over 20 years amounts to 2000 campaign donations. That's a pretty decent impact, all things considered. The lobbying is absolutely paltry, though. $25 million dollars over 20 years is fucking nothing in terms of lobbying. For example, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spends four times that amount annually. That being said, I also doubt such companies really need to lobby all that much. Every candidate on the block wants to look tough on crime and the only ones who don't are those who are trying to get votes from certain communities that look down on it. It's just part of American culture desu.
>>
>>2969549
>>2969565
>>2969629
Well it looks like we've got to establish a precedent: is that a small amount or is our expectation of lobbying groups out of whack?

This was the combined expenditures of the top two private prison lobbies

We just have to find out where they focused, identify some other lobby groups you would expect to have high expenditures, then see how much the top two of each spend.

Who are some other lobbies you would consider big players, and who are some you would consider small fries?
>>
>>2969769
It's a pretty small amount according to this article by The Hill.

http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/business-a-lobbying/318177-lobbyings-top-50-whos-spending-big

It'd probably fall somewhere in the top 100, but it's less than a 5th of what #50 spends. The big spenders seem to spend between several times or roughly the same amount annually as those two companies have over the last twenty years combined.

Because prison lobbies and money owning and operating prisons on lucrative government contracts while you intentionally let services such as water purity languish and nickel and dime the inmates and their families with jacked up rates to purchase telephone time etc. And it's really hard to look good defending convicted criminals as a politician, especially when up against some [presents-as] tough on crime hardliner.
