Just look at new orleans and what happens when a chitload of blacks dont have anyone to arrest them, they loot pillage and rape young women.
Who says these things were exclusive to the blacks in New Orleans? Looting and pillaging and rape would happen in the whitest of white places if the same thing happened. The reason so many blacks are driven to crime is because of their increased levels of poverty (remember, poverty is one of the single best predictors of crime, no matter what race you are), which is the natural consequence of our legacy of racism in this country. And when people like you keep insisting it's still their fault that they're stuck in the same miserable conditions, it only reinforces those hateful ideas. They've been blamed for their lower status in society for centuries now, but even with the end of slavery nobody has given them a means of getting themselves out of the hole that slavery pushed them into.

It's not as easy as just telling them to get a job and expecting them to somehow become our equals that way. The fact is, children of poor parents tend to grow up poor, and children of rich parents tend to grow up rich. It's not hard to see why; capitalism in its very nature perpetuates this inequality through inheritances, expensive education, etc. It's a lot easier to get a well-paying job when you're the son of a white Fortune 500 CEO than the son of a poor black woman in the ghetto. And it's a lot easier to get into crime from the ghetto than from the CEO's mansion.
