    There are so many factors of why kids join gangs.

    In a upper middle class suburban neighborhood the annoying trouble maker who talked back to the teacher would be disciplined by faculty staff and that behavior wouldn't ruin their fire lives. While that same behavior in a poor urban school will have resource officers arrest you and now you have an arrest record and now you are encouraged to not engage in polite society as you've already been pegged as someone who isn't going to do things like go to college because you gotta check "yes" to the applications that ask if you've ever been arrested.

    So urban youths are getting arrested for talking back to the teacher thereby dashing their college aspirations.

    If for whatever reason Target decides to close stores in Chicago its 100% not because of crime but because of low sales.... Just wanted to clear that up before anyone jumps to conclusions...

    @rocketsjudoka @AroundTheWorld

    come on breh
    The media will not vilify Black people
    Doesn’t matter if it’s crime
    Look when the ‘anti Asian’ stuff happened during the pandemic, they mentioned it was mainly Black criminals from Oakland going to San Francisco to rob elderly asians cause they knew the elderly only carry cash.
    And that there’s lots of racial tension in California
    Even though the media wants to portray it as ‘not racist’
    It’s very racist and segregated by class and race. Didn’t you guys watch ANY of those gangster movies in the 90s?
    Menace to society ? Killing the Korean store owner for fun ?

    Wokeness is racism
