Thirteen Stars, you're the guy who's been putting those stickers and fliers up? I'll give you credit. At least you aren't afraid to speak your mind out of fear of what others think. That's one of the best qualities a person can have. And the one that says "North Philly: Coming to a neighborhood near you" was pretty clever.
That being said, I agree that we need to stop pussyfooting around the fact that minorities make up the large portion of the crime rate. But who do we blame? Not all of it can be the individual's fault. Yeah, a good chunk of it is their own fault. But then you also have the parents who didn't give a **** about them, the friends who all did that bullshit, and other influences to help them choose the path they chose. Yes, there are a lot of people who can still avoid such choices. but this is 21st century America. Most people are idiots.
It's not the fact that they're different that's the problem. It's their actions. Stereotypes come from somewhere, right?

It’s really not a matter of prejudice though. That really is a word that seems to get thrown into the mix way too easily. Prejudice is pretty much defined as a predetermined judgment based on fear that has resulted from a thorough lack of knowledge on the subject. I along with a great deal of other people have reached my conclusions based on facts, opposing views and life experiences that I’ve tested and weighed out over my entire lifetime. Terms like prejudice & ignorance, along with racist, white supremacist, xenophobe, fascist, Nazi, sexist, homophobe etc are only used to stifle discussion and undermine people’s opposition to tolerance, the acceptance of degeneracy & destruction.
Sorry if I’m coming off as a bit radical on this subject but it really is quite in depth and emotionally charged, there’s definitely a lot to it.
I definitely appreciate your compliment about speaking up etc. But watch out though, I’ll ruin your reputation if too many people notice you complimenting me, lol. As for the fliers/stickers, they’re available from our site and we’ve got a decent amount of local people that take the time to put them up. Every once in awhile I’ll get out but I prefer to interact with the people on the street instead of hanging things up. I do help design a lot of the stuff that gets put up though, with the “dangerous minorities” flier being the most straight forward and blatant piece we’ve put out. I try to design things in the most intelligent and least intimidating and offensive way possible but there’s really was no other way to put that one, it speaks for itself whether people think it’s cruel or unfair.
As for whose to blame, a great deal of it is genetic and has unfortunately become ingrained with their culture, with the number of successful/established and hardworking “minorities” being the exceptions to the rule. A lot of people deny the reality of genetic racial differences but it’s very real and an extremely well documented fact. Something that has even been acknowledged by the co-founderd and pioneer of DNA and genetic research James Watson, who has been viciously attacked for his comments and forced to apologize and retract them:
