Why is it that the majority of theft in this country is done by colored people?

It’s not a question of colour but financial status. Poor people are more likely to steal. In the USA the rate of blacks is high among the poor. This can be the reason, I guess. Well, in my country many more white people steal.

Most illegal drugs are cultivated by various communist or terrorist groups using slave labor.  Anyone who refuses is murdered.  Actually, murder, torture, rape etc. are routinely used to keep the slaves intimidated so they don't even think of causing trouble.  In places like North Korea and Cuba, its the government doing this to its people.  In places like Mexico and Columbia, various criminals do this while the local governments and police are powerless to stop them.  The drug money supplied by rich jackasses who do drugs, in the US and europe simply makes them too powerful to stop.

It's not acceptable, and every African/Asian/Native/Latin/Arabic-American knows it. The notion that anyone else is responsible for what their grand-pappy did is asinine. Slavery is gone; it's not a personal problem for anybody. However, racism is not gone, and it is a real problem. HOWEVER, minorities perpetuate it just as much as they suffer from it.

Honestly....It's not. Far less than past history. Problem is most blacks bring up the race card against the whites still. Twenty year old kids no nothing of race discrimination, and have no business claiming they're entitled to money from the government due to slavery. The U.S. government owes blacks nothing anymore. The indians bitch less and whites stole everything from them and wiped out most of the tribes too. Trust me. Discrimination isn't so much these days. If you're white you're white. Act white. If you're black, you're black. And act black. But don't claim anything because of your color.

there's less money inherent in its location or climate for us to use/abuse for profit. everywhere else we drill for oil or grow our drugs or invest our laundered finances.\n\nand there's the racism thing too.

if  they  would  check  out  the  social   security  numbers   these   illegals   are  stealing,  that  would   stop  a  lot  of  it.  you  can   bet   your   white   ass,  if  you  went   in   with  a   fake   number   they  would   check  you  out  and   have   you   arrested.and   if  your  white  and   american  you   cant   get   any  thing   any  way.all  you  can  do   is   pay   for   it.

My belief is No!  I am a tenth generation American with many immigrant grandfathers, I am also Choctaw Indian.  My husband and I have been forced to deal with a decaying economy, and poverty because Illegal Immigrants come to America and Accept all the benefits every Legal Immigrant, and American has already earned.\nIs Stealing a crime?\nWhen you reap benefits that you have not earned you do not deserve them.\nAnd, that is what Americans are raised to believe.

I remember seeing something on television about this once.  Most shoplifting is actually done by middle-age hispanic women.\n\nStrange, I know.\n\nhttp://news.ufl.edu/2005/08/10/shoplifters/

Not all are thieves.  That's unfair.\n\nSome are just sociopathic murderers (Rumsfeld, Bush...).\n\nSome are drug addicts (Limbaugh...).\n\nSome are money launderers (DeLay).\n\nSome are election-fixers (the brothers Bush, DeLay, K. Harris...).\n\nSome are unindicted war criminals (Kissinger...).\n\nSome are vicious bigots (Santorum, Helms, Lott...).\n\nSome are raving, delusional psychotics (Robertson, Falwell...).\n\nOne or two are decent public servants who feel the need, from time to time, to turned occasional, as necessary, opportunists (McCain, Giuliani...).\n\nSo they're not all thieves.  That's not fair.

Because they have no moral problem with it. Many of them are sociopaths who only think of themselves. They don't feel other people's pain. To them it's just easy money with little risk.\n\nA lot of scammers in Nigeria feel that when they're stealing from Europeans or Americans they are taking money from people who are rich, who wouldn't feel the loss or they justify it as some kind of collective payback for Slavery. This is total nonsense of course.\n\nIn years of dealing with online fraud, I have yet to find a crime so low that criminals would not do it. Online scammers steal from orphans, from single mothers, from families with severely ill family members and no job, from crippled war veterans, from dying AIDS patients, etc.\n\nThe best prevention is education. The more people know about how scams operate, the fewer people will fall for it. If you come an offer that seems too good to be true or is otherwise unusual, search on the internet. Talk to others about it. Ask a question in here. There will be many people willing to offer advice and experience.

Because most of their clients are white, and it's their way of sticking it to the man!!\n\nWhat a question to ask?????\n\nDid you get ripped off on your last visit or something??\n\nThere would be a trade in prostitution if there wasn't buyers, okay? Simple economics. Just like the drug trade, if people wouldn't buy the stuff, there wouldn't be the problems that we have with it.\n\nIt's up to YOU to seperate yourself from those things, and the only constructive thing you can do for others is to teach our children well, set a good example, and do outreach work for those in the community.\n\nGod put flaws in all of us, so we'd understand no one is perfect. Judge not, least ye be judged.\n\nGo forth with good purpose and humble heart.

We owe our country's success as a producing nation to the sweat of our early laborers.  Today, we still out-produce every country on most every good and service.  And blacks are still broke, sick, and under-represented.  We still haven't made reparations for what we owe.  They aren't blaming whites, they just want (and deserve) their money.

Your point being? The reason they patrol the boarder so heavily is because they have agreements with the U.S. to do so.  To prevent narco-trafficking.  Your argument however is a reasoned one I respect that. Your right this nation is very open to immigration its part of what made it great.  But, the question is whether it is just to felonize behavior simply because another nation does.  Just because a law exists in another country does not make it just.  \n\nYou are using a circular argument.  We should do this because they do this, so we should do this.  Circular arguments may sound rational but they rest on false premises.

cuz ppl are racist against poor black people

1. A greater % of minorities grow up in the innercity, where crime is rampent (sp?). So a great % of minorities turn to crime.\n\n2. On average, white people can afford better lawyers than black people. Again, because of the innercity thing.

It was a bit like this. (I'm mentioning race here, but it's just an example. I'm not racist, to my knowledge.) Imagine an African-American robbed your bank. If you were George W. Bush, you'd raid Africa. It's similar; Middle-eastern people did some pretty ugly stuff on September 11th, so we attack the Middle East.
