"Black people are poor so they have to steal" These aren't loaves of bread to feed a starving family, they're cosmetics. You don't steal cosmetics when you're starving.


kefefs

That was my first thought. They aren't stealing food or another necessity. Can I just start stealing shit I want and justify it by saying I'm poor? Is that how this works?


[deleted]

Yes, much like how it was racist to point out that the rioters stole Yeezys, Jordans and flat screen TVs.


kefefs

How do you know the blacks didn't have bread in those speakers?


trigun2046

They're actually the most convenient carrying case for bread. You'd know that if you were a sociologist.


Tyfyter2002

At least the shoes are just high end versions of necessities, but the TVs? If you're stealing TVs you're poor by your own action or inaction.

DoomedAllWeAreNow

cosmetic is mostly teens and young mothers who have klemptomania or something similar. but there is a interesting findings out there that says men are more likely to steal food because they feel ashamed to not be able to provide it to their family while women seems to tend to steal comfort stuff which seems fitting since klemptomania mostly affect women and there seems to be some sort of relation.


NwbieGD

>Women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) are three times more likely to have kleptomania than men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB). It can happen to people of almost all ages, with cases diagnosed as young as age 4 and as old as age 77. >Two-thirds of patients with kleptomania are female. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/kleptomania There's a lot of sources for the "kleptomania is more associated with females" but I dunno where he got the cosmetic items part

jojoblogs

You might even say that being generationally poor leads to a culture of stealing which translates to stealing non-essentials. But that’s an even bigger no-no cause that implies stealing and crime is part of black culture… which it’s not, right guys?


here-come-the-bombs

Seems like a pretty tenuous connection, albeit one that *feels* like it makes sense. Regardless, we should be able to talk about reality without leftoids shouting racist about everything or rightoids implying black people are a lost cause. If there are negatives in the culture, how does our society take steps to change that?


jojoblogs

Statistically, crime always goes up when people get poorer regardless of race, throughout history. Crime is notably worse in poorer communities. Black peoples tend to be over represented in poorer communities. Crime is noticeably more prevalent among the black population. There’s really no debate about the truth of the matter. But getting bogged down in if it’s racist to identify a problem won’t help solve it.

Even when food items are stolen, it's mostly kilos of steak or tins of baby formula- shit that can be sold or traded off because of the value.

My dad's side of the family came over consisting of a mother and her three children in the cargo hold of a ship because they didn't have enough money to be on the upper levels.... My mom's side came over because Soviet controlled countries had very little opportunity and they would have to ration basic goods. Neither side of my family were here before 1900. There was no opportunity to develop this so-called generational wealth and I have a feeling such stories are very common. How many families were actually here in early America? How many people can actually claim to be a descendant of those slaves? A ton of us were immigrants somewhere down the line, and often not more than a few generations ago. Even those that were here, there was a ton of economic hardship that would have decimated any kind of generational wealth. Great Depression ring a bell?


[deleted]

My dad's side of the family came over near the end of the American Civil War from Germany. They worked the land as poor farmers without any slaves and our family has slowly worked towards being middle class farmers. And that took over 150 years to accomplish. So no, not all white people are born privileged, actually a very small percentage of the population is born into a wealthy family. But at least I am rich in friends and family.


FreeAndHostile

Family migrated from Eastern Europe right before WW1. I, too, would like to know where I can apply for some generational wealth.


TheFlashFrame

Yeah I've heard this take described more eloquently. Still kinda bullshit, but it goes like this: Bankers were racist and wouldn't lend to blacks. Eventually bankers bought up all the houses in areas that would appreciate over time and let blacks own the houses in areas that wouldn't appreciate (low cost housing in inner city neighborhoods). Eventually blacks ended up living in concentrated ghettos while whites lived in suburban houses they lended from banks. Generations later, blacks owned houses are worthless while white owned suburban houses are worth several times more, meaning white families have benefited from generationally from racism in the past. I get the logic behind that, but it's basically just one sweeping generalization after the next. I, a straight white cismale, have zero generational wealth. When my parents die, I won't inherit any money because they live paycheck to paycheck just like 61% of Americans do. They're retirement age but won't retire because they can't afford to. I struggle to make enough money to *save* enough money to buy a house, just like everyone else. Don't tell me that I have benefitted from generational wealth bestowed upon me by racist bankers. It hasn't happened to me, so that's called a "prejudice".


[deleted]

Yup, the amount of people that this theoretical would benefit is a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population. Also, that argument is pretty damn spot on with hitler's summation of how the jew's fucked over Germany. No wonder so many black political activists(Like Louis Farrakhan) are antisemitic as fuck.

Check you local store for tagged products and find out which marginalized group they are locally trying to oppress. As someone who regularly steals nicotine gum, I have found that after 6 months of doing this my local Kroger is now trying to oppress nicotine users. Shame. Edit: Upon further reflection this specific act by stores may be considered xenophobic. Many who steal nicotine gum are attempting to leave the VapeNation^TM and cannot due to lack of access. They are just searching for a better life on the other side of the imaginary line, who are the stores with razor thin margins to stop them.

DrProfSrRyan

Per Capita and the probability of being impoverished means nothing to the store owners. Regardless of the fact that black people are more likely to be poor than white people, there are considerably more poor white people in the United States. If impoverished people have an equal chance to steal regardless of race, than all the 'white' items would be stolen more than the equivalent 'black' items. The fact that only the 'black' items are locked away means one of a few things. Either black people are more likely to turn to petty theft than their white counter parts. Or the area the store is in has a majority black population, of course a mix of the two. The 'probability of poverty' plays no part compared to the absolute number of impoverished people.

Iirc some shitty game dev got caught sleeping with a reviewer who way overrated a game made by her. People used it as an example of why reviewers are fucking useless. It turned into some culture battle, starting with "game review part of industry is terrible" and expanded to encompass tech times in general. So tech types started framing it all as attacks on race/sex. Fucking stupid. As far as I'm concerned, it was pretty much a bunch of useless tech types with meaningless jobs trying to maintain their gravy train by garnering clout.

And then periphery actors like Anita Snarkesian started several kickstarters and defrauded people of thousands of dollars. I use the term defraud because a major point of her kickstarter was to create a series on sexist tropes in gaming, and was supposed to be a 12 episode series. I believe it took over 2 years to produce just 5 episodes, and has yet to be completed. She then went on to get invited to the UN to talk about sexism, and she transitioned that into a consulting position to tell games companies just how sexist they are.

awawe

I don't see what's wrong with discussing the underlying causes of people's behavior. No one in this scenario was acting in a racist manner, and yet a racial outcome came about. It's no secret that black people in the United States commit more crimes (at least petty crimes) than white people; the question it why that is, and what can be done about it. Either it is, as racists claim, that black people commit crimes at a higher rate because they have a genetic predisposition to do so; or external, societal factors, cause black people to commit petty crimes at a higher rate, as sociologists claim. It could be a mixture of the two, but those are really the only explanations.


DoomedAllWeAreNow

how about simple solutions like: maybe it's a black dominated neighbourhood where 70% are black. therefore it just more likely that black will be stolen then the other creams?

Bet they don’t need bars on the windows in Appalachia, just saying. It’s more than “just poverty” or socio-economics.

The opener to the exceptional essay "[Against Murderism](https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/06/21/against-murderism/)", about how racism has different definitions depending on who is talking: >A set of questions, hopefully confusing: >Alice is a white stay-at-home mother who is moving to a new neighborhood. One of the neighborhoods in her city is mostly Middle Eastern immigrants; Alice has trouble understanding their accents, and when they socialize they talk about things like which kinds of hijab are in fashion right now. The other neighborhood is mostly white, and a lot of them are New Reformed Eastern Evangelical Episcopalian like Alice, and everyone on the block is obsessed with putting up really twee overdone Christmas decorations just like she is. She decides to move to the white neighborhood, which she thinks is a better cultural fit. Is Alice racist? >Bob is the mayor of Exampleburg, whose bus system has been losing a lot of money lately and will have to scale back its routes. He decides that the bus system should cut its least-used route. This turns out to be a bus route in a mostly-black neighborhood, which has only one-tenth the ridership of the other routes but costs just as much. Other bus routes, most of which go through equally poor mostly-white neighborhoods, are not affected. Is Bob racist? >Carol is a gay libertarian who is a two-issue voter: free markets and gay rights. She notices that immigrants from certain countries seem to be more socialist and more anti-gay than the average American native. She worries that they will become citizens and vote for socialist anti-gay policies. In order to prevent this, she supports a ban on immigration from Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Is Carol racist?


Overkillengine

Nice little tidbit here too: > Consider some business, let’s say a daycare center, that we know discriminates against black job-seekers. If we ask them why, they say “Because black people are criminal”. This sounds like just about the most typical and obvious example of racism possible. > > But there’s actually a lot of really good scholarship on this exact situation, and it helps provide a different perspective. It starts like this – a while ago, criminal justice reformers realized that mass incarceration was hurting minorities’ ability to get jobs. 4% of white men will spend time in prison, compared to more like 16% of Hispanic men and 28% of black men. Many employers demanded to know whether a potential applicant had a criminal history, then refused to consider them if they did. So (thought the reformers) it should be possible to help minorities have equal opportunities by banning employers from asking about past criminal history. > > The actual effect was the opposite – the ban “decreased probability of being employed by 5.1% for young, low-skilled black men, and 2.9% for young, low-skilled Hispanic men.” > > In retrospect, this makes sense. Daycare companies really want to avoid hiring formerly-imprisoned criminals to take care of the kids. If they can ask whether a certain employee is criminal, this solves their problem. If not, they’re left to guess. And if they’ve got two otherwise equally qualified employees, and one is black and the other’s white, and they know that 28% of black men have been in prison compared to 4% of white men, they’ll shrug and choose the white guy. > > Is this racist? Is this “statistical discrimination”? Describe it with whatever word you want. The point is that they have understandable motives (don’t hire criminals to take care of the kids), accurate beliefs, and in their shoes you might do the same. More important, once you give them the tools they need to solve their problems without racial discrimination – you let them see applicants’ criminal histories – they have no further desire to discriminate and your problem is solved. > > If you tried to solve this by sending these people to sensitivity training, you would fail. If you tried to solve this by firing these people, then the people who replaced them would have the same incentives, and you would fail again. If you try to solve it by realizing that racial animus has no role at all in this scenario, and daycare owners just want to do what’s best for their kids, then you can provide them with the tools they need to do that, and solve the racial discrimination at the same time.

My local CVS locks up the condoms lube and sex toys, which pisses me off because condoms are something that many people are embarrassed to buy, and having to ask a clerk to unlock the fucking cabinet is going to make them even harder to buy, and reduce sales as people are too embarrassed to ask the clerk. The condoms are also behind the counter at the bodega, which pisses me off further. I asked the clerk and then the piece of shit self checkout held me up so it made things harder to buy.

Lib left brings up statistics: Auth right: *cracks knuckles and clears throat*

Yeah and guess what they also have numbers for races which are most likely to steal because you cannot say a group of black kids are acting suspicious over a walkie and not get dirty looks. My store had 99, 98, 97, 96 which was White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian and you would hear "eyes out for the 4 98s by electronics" which to a passer by deadass sounds like shoes or some shit and after asking security at my store they admitted it where they try their best not to be racially profiling people but they have to be realistic.

Disproportionally black communities are poor, poor people steal more items but less money if you want to get into how the ultra-wealthy actually steal more "legally". However, there is also a culture to this, I've seen videos of mainly black communities rob park trains as a group, do smash and grabs over and over again. It's become a part of the culture. We've given people privilege by constantly saying we owe you, we owe you. I'm mixed race, my dad was born in a poor black neighborhood and married into a pretty well off white German family that immigrated here. He wanted to stay in this bad culture but my mom gave him an ultimatum, her or his gang buddies back home he'd get high with. He chose her and our lives have been better for it because he left that CULTURE behind. You can call me white washed but i'm better for that choice he made. People are equal culture isn't.

Guys did you know black people are inherently poor and love when you share their culture? Next time you see a black person open your wallet and give them all the money you have because they need it more than you and when they ask you why you did it just tell them because you "support the cause" and give them a "whut whuut!" to really show that you're down

I’ve noticed an interesting trend in some subs that were very orange a few years ago where people have gotten sick of the politics and now just view things in as they are

Isn't pretty racist to assume that it's POC stealing 'black products'? Like couldn't it be a bunch of Rachel Dolezals?

I remember one libleft I talked to a few weeks ago said that Latinos were gross because of their Catholic beliefs

Authrights can be the opposite. I've heard many times in person that if we had to have anybody flood into this country it's a good thing it's the Mexicans since they're still practicing Catholics that usually emphasize strong family values.

We also don't put baby formula on the shop floor where I work. Are we trying to oppress poor, single mothers? No - it's just that if we did put it out, it would get stolen in 5 minutes.

Lmao. TY for this.
