Hello,
More philosophy about african americans violence etc.
Here is i think one of the most important problem of higher level violence in african americans comes from the MAOA Nicknamed the the extreme “warrior gene” and from there exposure to "violence"(couple conflicts etc...) in childhood and adolescence, read the following so that
to notice it:
"In 2006, Lea reported that MAOA-3R — MAOA-3R — one of the low-activity risky variants — was more common in Maori males than in white males [2]. According to Lea, the 3R version was associated with a lineup of undesirable personality traits: risk-taking, violence, aggression, gambling, addiction and criminal behavior. Suddenly, it seemed genetics could possibly explain the Maori/white ethnic divide in achievement and social outcomes [2].
MAOA-3R — the “original warrior gene” — was the first gene linked with antisocial characteristics. But Maori were not the only ethnic group with a high frequency of this variant. It turned out that while 3R was found in 56% of Maori males, it occurred in 58% of African American males and 34% of European males.
Research on the MAOA gene
Over the last few years, multiple studies have replicated the original findings of Caspi’s team. The evidence as a whole continues to show that the interaction between low-activity MAOA variants and early exposure to abuse increases the risk for antisocial behavior in men throughout their lifetime [11, 17]. Offending, conduct problems, and hostility have been observed in males carrying low-expression versions of the MAOA gene [6, 7, 18].""
