Liberal whites and liberal blacks cant get credit for cheering that woman on for stopping her son from getting stupid. I don't give one shit about the title of the thread. If you agree "take responsibility" is part of it, then CONDITIONS MATTER. Blacks understand this, those who over simplify it blaming them, even when blacks themselves are not excusing crime, is the fucking issue.
That mother in interviews afterwords said, she doesn't want her son involved in gangs or crime or riots. That still does not change that economics lead to those conditions, for the same reason Somalians get desperate to the point of kidnapping. NO ONE IS EXCUSING IT. Just like you understand why hurricanes happen doesn't mean you want a hurricane affecting you.
Poverty will always produce destructive conditions and at this point in our history, in America blacks are hurt worse by poverty. You want poverty and race issues to go away, than accept our history first.
It is no different than physics, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Elevate the economy of blacks is not a handout, it is an investment. But again, the longer the pay gap explodes the worse it will divide us on issues of class and race. Accepting a problem is not excuse making.
