The country has done a remarkable job of creating a sense of identity around the flag and its military. It’s a continent where a Californian has little to nothing in common with a person from Deep South other than they are “American”. It being a superpower and maybe only superpower bolsters this sense of identity.
Never forget that the Constitution of the United States of America values a negro at three-fifths of a man.
Would that be the junta’s work?
Anyone involved in criminality needs to be outed, just that a v large proportion of travellers are in nick because of thieving, mostly from rural folk, or other soft targets like those highlighted weekly, pensioners and the like, pavee point turns a blind eye to all of this , as do those never affected , the loony left etc, or the oh so good do gooders who see fuck all wrong with their actions, pavee point needs to take the big wedge of wood stuck in their eye, must be fucking sore by now,!

4% of the settled community are involved in criminality yet they make up 80% of the prison population.

Quote mining is the debating style of a simpleton. Lash up the full quote there and then have a look at the thread title.
The 4/80 rule?

You’re not outing anybody by posting court reports, and pointing out that some travellers are involved in criminal activity doesn’t mean that they are not discriminated against or subject to racism, in fact it further proves my point, it’s the standard reply of the racists in American society also
Some black men are bad guys, some travellers are bad guys,
Some Cork men are bad guys, some Poles etc etc etc

The great majority of violent crime in black communities in the US is black on black crime, 93% of murders of black men are by other black men. I would imagine on a much reduced scale the same is true in Ireland, most violence in the traveller community is traveller on traveler, and most of those in prison are there because of this.
How exactly is this level of violent crime within communities due to discrimination and racism? In either country. Try an answer other than you are a racist.

What in Gods name are you on about, criminals deserve punishment, I’m talking about attitudes that certain people have, racists in other words, some people are bad
People of all race and ethnicity are involved in crime, maybe more from some
But is the propensity of black people to commit violence (even against each other) not related to their upbringing in underprivileged circumstances, which was inherently founded on racist terms?

Just dispelling your nonsense, violence within certain communities is not due to discrimination or racism. It’s a simple point even you can understand it.

You will never get it. Only if you had to walk in the shoes of these groups, would you actually get it.

If you believe that that’s what I said I suggest you read back over my posts, have an argument with yourself by all means but I’m fucked if I’m wasting my time having a debate on something that I never said, knock yourself out though if you absolutely insist on bludgeoning me with the stats you went to the bother of looking up

The point is the great majority of violence in the black
community is towards each other. It is not racist to point this out as a systemic problem within these communities.
I simply don’t believe the claim that being disadvantaged is a recipe for violence and murder. A recipe for petty crime and stealing yes, but murder? There are plenty disadvantaged among other races in the US and you simply don’t see anything like the level of violence.

Have you walked in their shoes?
I can’t agree with that at all.
You made the claim that some believe it is acceptable to be discriminatory and racist towards travelers or black people because some of them are criminals. This belief is a nonsense and an excuse to call people racist who disagree with you.
The biggest issue with the traveller community in Ireland and the black community in the US is violent crime, most of which is inflicted within these groups. The only ones who can resolve this are the communities themselves.
