there's no good poetry just like there's no good art. what can 'make or break' a poem generally comes down to how it satisfies technicalities and how it subjectively impacts the reader. as far as technicalities go, rules are arbitrary. as far as impact goes, it's a subjective experience for everyone.

Even at the same income bracket blacks commit more crime. Population wise in the united states there are more poor whites than blacks. I'm not saying that blacks are the bad guys. There is probably a perfectly good explanation for this crime but trying to paint a picture where blacks are still being oppressed like slaves and white people are the bad guys is just wrong and accomplishes nothing but further weakening race relations.

Probably a black -> white racial crime and not the other way around.

I know it happens the other way around, but a LOT of the time it's blacks racially attacking whites. And the best part of that is that it can't be considered a hate crime unless it's white on black

How about that "knock out game" that was going around on the upper east coast? You know, the game where *only* black people were attacking *only* white people with one punch trying ot knock them out. The game that killed a few people because the fell unconscious straight into a wall or curb.

The game that was never once called "abuse" or "attack" or "crime", let alone "hate crime" just because it was blacks attacking whites

Sure, there are a few old farts left who still remember when blacks segregated and hated on, and fuck those assholes; they are about to die anyway. But I think the VAST MAJORITY, YES THAT"S SOMETHING I TRULY BELIEVE of racism is black people who need to feel special and it just happens to be incredibly easy for them to do so

"I've already had 3 life crises, the latter of which had the depth and profundity of a man thrice my age"

Well said.

I don't believe that the reason blacks are committing these crimes are because of some genetic inferiority or something. Like I said there is probably a perfectly rational explanation for it. I just think that painting one tribe OF INDIVIDUALS as the good guys and one as the bad simply based on skin tone is juvenile.

It mostly feels that way because of race baiting. I imagine most black people don't think to themselves every day "fucking white people fucked our entire black society." Though the thought might occur to them. And they wouldn't necessarily be wrong to think it either.

Are blacks also to blame for their predicament? Sure, to some extent. But they've only recently begun to have a say in it, so it's hard to put so much blame on them.

the 'perfectly good explanation' is either biological, which is kooky, or societal, which is the point i'm making.

black people don't have to be oppressed 'like slaves' in 2k14 for the chattel slavery of black americans to be a relevant element of the evolution of black americans' status.

as for whether work like the OP hurts or harms race relations, that's up in the air and neither of us know or have the capacity to know. as for whether or not it accomplishes something, well it accomplished something for /me/, so you can't quite make that statement.

Related: There is far more black on white crime than there is white on black, based on percentage. So if a black person is committing a crime, they are more likely to do it against a white person than a white person would be to do it against a black person.

Black on white crime is higher than we'd find if targets were chosen randomly. This is despite the fact that white on black crime is as you say it, more sensationalized and therefore more dangerous.

Black on white crime tends to be assumed to be motivated for non racial reasons because blacks are seen as essentially criminal by either race, culture or circumstance, and not subject to things like racist attitudes. This bias leads to a bias where people are looking for white on black crime because its seen as abnormal, and therefore must be hateful, where the assumption is reversed for black on white crime.

>holocaust denialism is the same thing as pointing out obvious media sensationalization
the 'knockout game' as in the epidemic of blind hate crime that news stations made it out to be never happened. it's a shitty thing that people have been doing for a long time that has no superficial racial component.

i'm sorry that i'm inconveniencing you by thinking out my opinions to a point where they will not be shaken by a completely unenlightening /lit/ thread. kill whitey.

chattel slavery did not cause racism, it was justified by racism. chattel slavery quite literally separated black americans from white americans and this literal physical separation existed (white fountain/colored fountain) and exists ('the projects') after slavery.

racism exists because xenophobia exists. racial segregation exists because racism exists. that's physical, fiscal, societal, what-the-fuck-have-you segregation.

you losers need to learn to read threads before you make statements that have already been responded to.

i'm out, you guys have failed to challenge my point of view but have succeeded in validating my assessments. thanks for the confidence boost.

Yeah, don't care what all the bleeding-hearts on /lit/ think, this isn't art.

It's complaining. And at its core is a misunderstanding of academia, human interaction, and there's a pervasive sense of entitlement all throughout.

You're still making an assumption that a 150 year old chain of cause and effect is the cause of the projects existing. You even stated it was an assumption that you took because you didn't like the alternative. As though biological reasons are the only alternative. The truth is we don't know. Maybe somebody does but you and I certainly don't.

>he plagiarized far too much

How so? Do you mean from Wordsworth? Wordsworth stole shit from his sister all the time but nobody really seems to care about that.

>barely finished anything

Dude wrote a shitton of Biographia Literaria. He had a considerable output, though his poetry is scant by comparison. But that's part of what makes him so interesting for me. He has these brilliant flashes of inspiration that never ended up being completed (Kubla Khan, Christabel), and it leaves me wondering what else would have been there had he actually finished it. Also, Rime of the Ancient Mariner is boss

I don't know about that. Blake had a fascinating body of work, too. I think that Keats blows everyone out of the water in terms of tone and style (I don't think there has ever been a poet capable of matching Keats in this regard), but that doesn't necessarily render the others immaterial

>subjectivity

yeah thats why art students are mostly lazy faggots, because of the likes of you

and no its not completely up to the reader. some things are good. whether people like this or not is up to them, but denying the work put into to it and the prowess is foolish and desperate.
