Eli wrote about this in the 90s and WE STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. It's time to change. We've lost 30 years of children, mostly boys, to street culture. It's amazing there's people who still defend this stuff. We have to strike at the heart of it. Which means really creating valuable opportunities and teaching critical thinking to shake that stale mentality.
I'm an aging white man who is trying to learn more about the problems facing African Americans and their communities. I'm discovering how very little I know about life in the streets. I can only wonder if, after centuries of oppression..... Are there any solutions? As if the problems of the black communities weren't enough, we once again live in a time where overt racism is not only acceptable, it's become fashionable in so many parts of the nation. My heart aches for these people.
SUCH A sad truth about our country, we need better governmental policies in place to help these kids get out of the street businesses. Instead of placing so much money on cops policing low-income neighborhoods, we should have programs in place to help with nutrition, education, and social advancements. The cycle needs to be broken, early in the line.
Yes there’s a need for nutrition. Yes there’s a need for education and social advancements. But WHO will do this? Nobody but the people in the community. Anything else is inauthentic and will not stand the test of time.
@@ilypolog6252 stronger family values is absolutely necessary. We see that in the black community fatherless homes numbers are insane relative to maybe more white communities. If they build stronger values and have good morals then we wouldn’t have this problem
Complains of police response times. Community actively partakes in action and law to decrease officers and funding that would greatly increase it. Then community continues action, violence, that create worse situations for officers leading them to not work within that area due to the danger levels. "Hey man don't call the cops he will arrest us." Then its, "Why the hell the cops take so long". The logic the one dude is presenting makes zero sense.
