@Southie

The plight of blacks in the US is due to institunalized racism. In New York city about 80% of black males in the 15 to 40 age bracket have been frisked - for being black. One has been frisked 70 times.

Blacks are typically anti war. And they don’t engage in terror.

I agree.

However, Im not referring to terrorism among blacks Southie. Im talking about gang violence, crime rates, and imprisonment rates. Something it seems that is common to large minorities that end up in vastly minority only neighborhoods with high of poverty and unemployment.

On the issue of extremism, I think ultimately the reason Muslim youths turn to religious extremism and join extremist organizations is ultimately the same logic that drive blacks and hispanics to join gangs. Its a need to belong, it gives them meaning, fraternity… Whether its the Taliban or Al Aqeda, or the bloods or the crips, its essentially a yearning to be a part of something larger then you.
