Why is high crime rate in the black community ignored

Exactly. And honestly, I'm not sure- maybe he would agree with me, possibly not.

 

Really? Racism just magically ended with the Emancipation Proclamation? I guess everyone got all worked up about segregation, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, church burnings, etc. all for nothing.

 

And nary a single root cause, or as bigtexxx calls them... excuses, provided. I'm shocked.

 

That's his M.O., comes in with ignorant comments and then runs away without responding once he has been proven as uneducated. Happens every time.

 

scuse me kids, adults are focused on finding solutions, not churning up excuses dating back in history. Let's focus on the present and find a new way

 

Pretty sure my grandparents grew up during the jim crow era as did my father. I can still see the effects of that on them today.

 

Bigtexxx knows it doesn't matter.

 

But that's just anecdotal evidence and fringe personal stories, they don't matter

 

When do you think they'll show the cops face on the news?

 

^ whoops wrong thread

 

You've presented no solutions thus far and complete ignorance on the subject considering that you've ignored events after end of slavery up until now.

 

Segregation and Jim Crow were "Fringe Personal Stories" ?

 

Strawman argument and double posting?

 

LOL at Jim Crow being a strawman considering the subject at hand...amazing.

 

His grandparents, not the policy.

Maybe you should work on that reading comprehension and ease up on the ADD.

 

His grandparents were affected by the policy, the only reason he brings it up is to remind some people (because some people need reminders apparently) that the fight for civil rights wasn't too long ago.

Maybe you should work up on reading comprehension and understanding the context here.

 

Each and every single individual who grew up in the era were affected the exact same way as his grandparents? No?

Then that falls under anecdotal evidence and meaningless fringe story, according to the standards set by the "experts" in this thread.

Learn some context before you troll.

 

How am I trolling?

Look, amaru was simply reminding Bigtexxx of that era by bringing that up because Bigtexxx said he was dealing with issues in the present. So amaru reminds him that he knows people STILL living that went through that era, so that it's still very present.

It's not anecdotal evidence, it's history. History that is recent and quite relevant.

Cmoak was saying that he had to work hard and that hard work can get you out of being poor and that white people can also be poor and down on their luck and I don't know anyone in this thread (certainly not me) that denies that as well.

 

We know you're focused merely on solutions and not the past by your very solution oriented, weekly Obama threads. But please, present your solutions to the problem you have yet to identify or provide a root cause of. The rap music!

 

People know what some of the solutions are. They just choose not to implement them. It starts with money. There's your 1st solution.

Example- you have economic stats on areas. So, you have an economically disadvantaged area. You give the teachers in that area an extra stipend for teaching in those schools- and you make it really worthwhile. You'll start getting better teachers in those schools. Then, you allot extra funding to schools in disadvantaged areas. And I mean extra, extra funding. B/C from my experience as a sub, the more well-off the area, the better condition of the schools, the more technology, etc.

It starts with that- b/c, as some who have money would say, why should we give more money to a poor community- we worked hard for our money- many of them are poor b/c they choose to be...etc.

But that doesn't apply to schools- kids can't help the situation they are born into. You make schools in the disadvantaged areas the absolute best built, most modernized, most technologically-driven in a city (or at least up to the standards of others), and there's where you start to balance things out a bit.
