Good answers.
Here's another question.
Canada has far less crime. The way Moore phrased it I assume they have far less blacks. Does anyone know if this is the case percentage wise?
I am going to look for those stats.

The worst culprit is a culture that holds a tough-guy caricature as it's highest ideal, and considers personal responibility and hard work as 'selling out'. Thank welfare and the WOD for that, and race-baiting pimps like Jesse Jackson.

Hence my earlier response....

Ok, after at least a half an hour of searching I didn't really find anything meaningful in the way of population statistics between Canada and the United States.
I have revised my opinion though.
In the early 70's the American Indian Movement, or AIM for short, did in fact stir up the Natives and there was bloodshed. This is a parallel or a direct cause for black on white crime.
However, there must be a root cause for the unrest. You simply cannot rile a people up against another race unless there were injustices against that race by the other one.
So I guess the quick and easy answer for the gun problem in the United States would be Louis Farrakan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc.
That just blows me away.
And as far as the news is concerned Luv, I wouldn't be privy to that kind of info. I have been in a more or less news blackout for 15 years.

Louis Farrakan has some interesting things to say about Jews and flying saucers.

I found this chart provided by the World Health Organization in their publication "World Report on Violence and Health," Chapter 1 (this link is a .pdf file)

What are you pointing out exactly? It would be even more interesting if it broke down the US seperate from the rest of the two continents.

I guess you just kill someone else if you get depressed in Africa. Isn't it strange that the worst region to live in, in the world has the lowest suicide rates?

If this is true then the difference between the gun violence in Canada and the gun violence in the US is simple, reducible to one word:
SLAVERY
A person or a nation reaps what they sow.
Actually i'd say its simple numbers. Many more people own guns in america than canada....thus more gun crime. 
I'd really like to hear a debate on guns and racism between luvdemshrooms and malachi.... ...or not....

That theory doesn't account for the higher crime in areas of the US where fewer people own guns.

ip: like look
ip: if you took a black person
ip: and randomly picked a person from the populace
ip: its 7 times more likely to be a white person than a black person
con: true
ip: and blacks commit 7.5 more crimes against whites than blacks
ip: so really that does even out
ip: like its almost race blind
con: yeah, good point.
con: HMM.
so the black vs white crime doesnt matter nearly as much as the fact that black people have a higher density of criminals... so culture would matter over slavery. but then since slavery and poverty were the foundation of black culture.. and theyre still disproportionately impoverished.. slavery was instrumental in shaping the culture of today, which is why theyre so violent.
does that make sense?

black in canada get along way better than blacks in america, it's actually the east indians and the native americans that white canadians vilify (of course it is also the east indians who run the major crime networks, so it's somewhat based in fact).

some really fucked up shit has been done to the black south africans in the recent past by the white south africans. it's been pay back time for the last few years.
it's not hard to understand that it's easier to direct your hatred outwards when there's such a visible target(s).
