Defense for what? I think you're the person running now that members see your motivation behind the thread. You hate liburuls, but, we already knew that. You're not alone, many people hate liburuls. Does it matter to us in everyday life, do you believe yours or anyone else's hatred for liburuls makes us lose sleep at night? Do you believe we fret about being hated? Do you neocon's butts still hurt from the 2012 election?

BTW, I responded a couple of times previous to this, you must not know how to read other people's opinions.

Could you please link to this alleged post of mine? The one where I mentioned anything about neo-cons?

You apparently haven't answered the question if I'm asking again.
Are you one of those dastardly neo-cons?

Apparently you don't know the difference between a progressive and a liberal.
It shows.
Oh shush my hippie friend, mommy's lumping anyone with differing opinions together now.

Violent crime is far more prevalent in black poor neighborhoods than white poor neighborhoods.

Nobody can deny that.

Lefties will stick to the mantra of "poverty causes violent crime" though.

Glad to know that sinse the op's post was fos and easily destroyed, surprisingly.., you have to chime in with a totally unrelated argument to try to prop up b.s

Sorry, please post where the op claimed there was no crime in "black poor neighborhoods" untill then you are just telling lies...

The filth and degeneracy in certain areas is what causes poverty. Poverty in these areas is a symptom of the problems....not the other way around. I can go into most poor areas and they are dirty and filthy, wow, does being poor make you throw trash on the ground...does it make a bunch of "hanging out" sleezballs suddenly appear??????

What causes poverty among the working poor who don't live in "certain areas" with "filth and degeneracy"?

Various things can make people poor.

Probably the top cause is poor life/financial decisions. Like a person making 8 bucks an hour....and they decide to go out and buy a 25K dollar vehicle. Or the broke-a** woman who purposely decides to get knocked up. People who "have" to have material things....and they go into debt to have that the things they "need" right away. People who live in an apartment that takes up most of their salary, real dumb move that will keep you a broke-a** dimmeee for a long, long time.
