That argument doesn't work with that idiot.

It is the complete problem and it works for all
Some Spike Lee movie shit.
Got dam, this sounds just like my dad....my dad wasn't just the only boy he was the ONLY CHILD...... The war changed my poos for the worst.
Agreed. How real is that lead situation? Why isn't it a bigger issue if the data is that clear?
I m not sure about the lead.....but there needs to be legal employment for these young black men....
The trend and forecast is for more job loss for the future, due to automation and job outsourcing, thus is not a debatable opinion, it's something that all leading economic experts agree on..
My question is what are we doing in order to offset this trend.
Man there are over 800k blk ppl in Chicago we should already have a robust viable black economy there....
I will say this though...the amount of racism in that region does play a HUGE part into why blacks aren t doing as well as they could there.... but cotdamn...there are too many of us there to not have a robust black economy
Words right out my mouth..............
You can hear him gasping for breath after the return shots are fired.
You have a year to figure it out. Go to college go do a trade, something that will better your life. By the time you're 19 and if you're not doing one you're going in. If you try the JC shit just to avoid it you must keep a 3.0 GPA .
Facebook need to remove that Facebook live shit ca
The gang problem has hurt the black man progressing in that city for years that's the main issue.
Goddamn! Wow! There are 2 neighborhoods in the Chi that are out of control: Englewood, where this guy was shot, and Garfield Park on the west side. These fools just don't care
The gangs are only there to manage drug territories
"it's just kids being kids".....nothing to see here, just another day in Chiraq......local dudes from there are proud of this nonsense, why should any of us be concerned if they're not?
The city has a major drug problem, I remember reading an article that said 80% of the drugs that come into the city is from Mexican Cartels and the blacks are just the foot soldiers.
Right
Lean?
I grew up 80 miles from the Chi, city I live in ain't no different, just way smaller. Niggas here just as crazy. Shit seems like it's never going to end. The bloodbath hasn't even begun yet, it's about to get warm and there will be much more killing.
We have to go back to the source of the problem. Why these hoods are in such fucked up condition to begin with
Lead poison. It's all over housing projects and older homes/apartments low income Black folks reside in.
In the winter it seeps into the ground and when summer rolls around it gets disbursed right back into the air causing people to act out violently. That's why summers are always crazy in the hood.
It's a reason the EPA banned lead from gasoline in the 70s.
What song was that playing in the background?
I mentor young black men in my Social Fellowship organization's youth mentoring program. We meet men at risk once a month, and show them life is more that what they currently perceive. Maybe it is time to use this board not only for the admiration of black women, but brothers should network among ourselves and build a system to empower our youth.
I definitely can do more. These young cats have no real role models to look up to.
Majority will never leave the US to visit a different country.
You are arguing what should be vs what is and what's going to be.. Unless you include ways of forcing the private sector as well as government agencies to change their hiring strategy, over the next 30 years, we will still be stuck in the problem of trying get to find constructive things to do for a growing population of almost unrmployable population who has no incentive to improve their situation at hand.
A major problem besides the lead and drugs (both legal and street) is the fact that in this country black women have twice as likely to have children as black males, and in poorer regions I suspect these numbers may rise to three or four times.
As the result many of these children are raised by women who think like children themselves, relying in kids being raised with out proper structure, guidance and dicipline, leading to grown adults with the emotional levels associated with children..
Drugs. Lack of opportunities. Over-policing. = current condition.
This is why I highly recommend folks do this before suggesting what should be done so you don't come off as that know it all boss who never sets foot at the site..
In a capitalistic society the onus is on the individual to create his own opportunity not for the people who are capitalizing off of you to provide it for you..
if we know this as a people and claim we love our children, then why are so many of us being brought into this world by father's who ain't shit and don't want them?
I am in south Trinidad right now, and you know what, women who have babies out of wedlock knows it leads to poverty and you seldom see it at the village I'm at, yet women in the states are tricked into believing it's a come up...
As long as we are living this lie, expect the fuckery to continue. .
The drug problem is no worse than it is anywhere else. Cacs do just as many drugs if not more. The thing is cats know they can get away with shit in the hood and there is a lot of apathy. It's a very small percentage of the population fucking things up, and people can't stop with the excuses for them even though more than 95 percent of the people who grow up in the same conditions aren't running around shooting guns or sticking cats up.
