Try to keep any racial slurs to yourself and for once lets keep it civil.
The topic of today is one about crime-ridden neighborhoods and opinion that it is a racial problem.
Lets take the town i live in for example....the south-east side is notorious for the crime that goes there. Drug sales are rampant, murders occur often, police raids galore, houses are run-down, many are vacant, vandalism is CRAZY, gang signs everywhere. The racial demographic is insanely lopsided with the majority being black, minority poor white and even smaller minority being hispanics. The city councilmen who represent those 2 wards say the crime is not a racial problem but more of an economic problem that us rich white folk could solve if we offered them more jobs and some sort of assistance.
I say it is a racial problem. I think too many young african american men are tempted by the quick and seemingly endless cash that drugs readily offer. With that cash comes the perceived notion of power when viewed by males less fortunate. All too often, they are quick to pick up a gun to settle simple beefs when a simple fist fight like back in the day would solve the issue. Just drive through the hood and see how many of these run down dumps have Cadillacs sitting on 20+'' rims. I'd rather drive a bucket and feed my kids than ride on dubs trying to look good.
Tell me how i can help your community clean itself up, when you refuse to clean it up yourself. No community can be changed from the outside, it must start with its own residents. This means you must start with the problems....drug dealers and drug users, thieves, and vandals. Clean up your **** yards, take a little pride in your home. Demand more police patrols, turn people in when you know they are the cancer of your society. If businesses are running illegal operations, keep calling the police. If the police are as racial biased as you claim they are, they will gladly come clean up all the black offenders that are bringing your area down
