This is a non racist thread, BUT I will ask you to answer honestly
Would society in America be safer if there were less/no black people?

No. Being violent isn't determined by the color of ones skin. It's determined by the conditions they grow up in. Poor white guys in gangs are just as bad as poor black guys in gangs. If a white kid grows up in the ghetto and a black kid grows up in a rich suburb, I guarantee the white kid will be the one more likely to get in trouble.

Thanks to green screen technology I was never in any real harm.

i think to be a non racist thread, youd need to rephrase your question more to the effect of less/no people oppresed for years to the point that the culture around them supports their dangerous activity. that said theres just as many fucked up ppl of every race. so no.

Well, that's a great deal of why I started this. I've always been an upstanding, hard working guy, but I recently made a thread which no one respnded to about whether it's a better idea that I kill myself than resort to other methods of surviving in society.. No government service will even help me anymore. Not the military, not unemplotment, not even welfare. So, I could become a criminal and take what I want from other people...

Sounds like you are dealing with some personal issues. I recommend you see a psychologist to talk your way through this. I doubt the internet will be able to answer all of your questions.
I will leave you with this: If you are not sure what to do in society, ask yourself "what would happen if everyone did this?" So what would happen if everyone became a criminal and just stole from eachother.

killing yourself isnt a solution to anything, things may seem bleak right now but you have no idea the days that lie ahead of you, the people lives that you may touch, or how many peoples lives you will inevitably change for the better. its hard for me to imagine the situation that you are in right now being that i am at college and i consider myself poor, but it is probably nowhere near what you are dealing with right now. so anything i have to say should be taken as always with a grain of salt. but, yea shits fucked, and its hard living in a society where you get out better if you break the laws and are not convicted than you would as a hard working citizen. im sure its more than disheartening seeing so many people that work half as hard as you and make out extemely better, i may be one of them. all i can say is to keep your chin up and keep working hard, youll make out fine in the end. you just have to be able to handle the seasons of your lifetime. theres a lot in life to be happy about, you just need to find the little things to hold on to. theres always something to smile about, so dont forget to.

Would society in America be better if there were fewer/no white people? How about hispanics? Or asians?

If we didn't have race as an arbitrary means by which to segment ourselves and oppress each other, we'd find something else. We already do, in fact. See sexual orientation.

Would society in America be safer if there were less/no central bank?

NO
But it might be better if there were less/no people completely fucked by a war on drugs that turned an entire generation of fathers into criminals, which lead to another generation raised by single mothers in urban poverty, which lead to a decreased focus on education (a luxury of the idle rich) and an ever-increasing focus on short-term survival.
The problems I'm talking about exist in every city in America, regardless of race. As long as we basically make it illegal to be poor, then poor people will be criminals - black, white or any other race. They'll continue to operate outside of the societal framework that abandoned them - and the result is that society will be "less safe."
It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with economic abandonment of the inner cities.

I think you're absolutely right. I'm not 100% on your initial reasoning.

If reading The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood counts as the Internet, then I guess I did.

Your question isn't very honest.

Pretty sure America wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful (or exist?) as it is today without them.
The question is a moot point in my opinion.

Slavery has been shown to be a drain on the economy, actually.

I doubt that it's what you meant, but blacks have made more contributions to America than being slaves for a couple hundred years.

Of course. I just assumed that bkh was talking about slavery.

bare in mind, you two bring very relevant arguments, but I am talking ceteris parabis. You bring religion and years of opression in, then the answer is clear. Religion, of course, is violence. I'm talking here, now and in our culture

Who determines who's black?

was michael jackson black?
1
Well, maybe. I only say that because I think it would be safer if there were less people in general. If said black people were replaced by the same number of another race? No.

I said black people because I was watching COPS, honestly

Would society in America be safer if there were less/no religions?

Pretty sure most sentences/ideas that start off with "Not to be racist/I'm not racist" etc usually end by being racist.
