Racism seem to exist, but "unjustified" racism (e.g., disproportionate to crime) is relatively low and seems heavily city dependent. So why do black communities tend to have higher crime? It seems to be fatherlessness, not poverty; poor, father-intact families have low crime.

It's the legacy of slavery, systemic racism, neoliberal capitalism and cycles of violence and misery that those breed. Nothing less, nothing more

naw of course not, I'm trying to answer why we seem to have an increasingly severe race problem right now when things are the most friendly/inclusive towards black people than they've ever been.

This is what I thought for a long time but then I read some stuff that made a good argument that fatherlessness is the actual problem; that low income actually wasn't strongly correlated with crime in black communities as much as is claimed, which really surprised me.

I think a big thing that you didn't cover is the economic opportunity provided by the war on drugs. Controlling drug territory is dangerous and criminal, but very profitable compared to other non high school educated careers.

White people are not inherently racist. It is taught to us by our parents and our society, often without anyone realizing what they are teaching. Thus “systemic racism”
