    Do you just have to belabor this point once a week?

    Do you think starting a thread with this same theme will fix the problem.

    If everyone agrees with you will that solve it?

    No need too respond to him, he has started multiple threads saying the same thing and more than one poster has stated these same facts.

    Just nod and smile.

    Black people can create jobs. Hispanics come here and start businesses and hire family

    But im really not hung up on that

    Police dont break homes. A bad economy doesn't have to.

    How many rural communities do you need to see for it to count? Would a national study showing the rise in rural crime rates above the national average matter to you?

    I just want to know if there's any point in my showing you facts or if you are happy in your ignorance on the issue.

    Bro we know rural America doesn't have big city crime. You already admitted that

    You don't even stand by your argument. You arguing to argue. Don't waste my time

    It doesn't matter at this in terms of fixing the problem

    Edit: thats part of the issue. We can discuss all day how the problem started but at the end of the day victim has to move forward
    Actually i started this thread to talk about how Baltimore is home to America's first black middle class and its sad tha its in the condition its in and a lot of ghettos were nicer areas before middle class blacks fled them

    Thats actually what i wtote in the first post

    Patient: Doc, my back hurts constantly and it's caused me to stop exercising so now I'm gaining weight.
    Doctor: Shame on you! Time to move on and start exercising!
    Patient: But...we have to deal with my back problem...
    Doctor: It doesn't matter at this point in terms of fixing the problem! Stop being a victim.

    the real sad story is focus on race instead of economic.
