That's not what I see, but your view is valid. We can agree to disagree.

Now is the time for young black men to take over 2 industries.

The police force, AND the military. Both industries need more people. Both can provide upgrade in pay. Both can start working in as little as 6 months.

Get trained, get skills, and get a direct foothold in sectors that will ALWAYS have work


I actually agreee with this.

https://www.axios.com/2019/10/09/upward-mobility-gap-race-black-white-men

The fastest-growing cities in the U.S. may be adding lots of jobs for well-off people, but many have low rates of upward mobility for lower-income kids growing up there. And it's especially bleak for black males, according to Raj Chetty, Harvard economics professor and director of Opportunity Insights, a research and policy organization.

Why it matters: The extent of racial disparities and economic mobility "is so extreme in the U.S. that it's almost like they're two Americas," Chetty said about the maps above.

  • The places that have the very highest rates of mobility for black men, like Boston, actually have lower rates of upward mobility than the very worst places of upward mobility for white men, like Charlotte.
  • Chetty's research showed that job growth and investment happening in Charlotte and Atlanta, for example, aren't creating opportunities evenly, and black male youths are disproportionately being left behind.
What they did: The researchers analyzed outcomes of about 4 million families that moved across neighborhoods and tracked the outcomes of children of low-income parents over 30 years.

What they found: Childhood environments are stronger indicators of upward mobility than where individuals go to college or move as young adults.

  • Moving to a better neighborhood at a very young age correlated with much stronger upward mobility as adults. In fact, every extra year of exposure to better childhood environments improved outcomes.
Downward mobility is also critical. White men from affluent families are likely to stay affluent as adults. But black men from affluent backgrounds are nearly just as likely to end up in the bottom tier of the income distribution than the top tier.

"If you think of achieving the American dream as climbing an income ladder for white Americans, it’s more like being on a treadmill for black Americans. Even after you've made the climb up in one generation, there are tremendous structural forces that tend to push you back down in the next generation and you have to make the climb again."
— Raj Chetty, speaking at the Results for America Summit in Washington, D.C.

Thats a fact ?

According to the OPD, since Jan. 1, violent crime is up 15% over the same period last year:
  • Property crime has increased 28%.
  • Homicides so far in 2023 are down 13% compared to 2022.
  • Burglaries are up 41%.
  • Vehicle thefts have increased 50%.

Ok :skip:


p*ssy ass posters come on here and will tell you lies straight to your face with such conviction :laff:
It’s the fact that multiple posters said the same dumb shyt and when checked on it never even came back :dead:

Narratives are more important than reality

For those who asked questions about SOLUTIONS. Let's examine what the current public safety reality is. There was a public safety town hall held in Oakland last week.
ScuZd.jpg

Alameda County District Attorney and Oakland Police Dept. Captain Clay Burch were there to answer questions.

Below is an article about the meeting, as well as the full two hour video. The specific facts on the ground about the public safety climate are laid out by the residents and the law enforcement leaders of that area. This public safety reality is what prompted the NAACP letter in OP.


Timestamp

2- 29 minute remarks from the DA Price about the policies of her office
29:15 host asks question about a recent high profile crime/arrest
29:45 Capt. Burch addresses the question and Q&A and audience comments start




Read through the doc and it predictably went nowhere…

-DA is a former foster child/at risk youth that turned her life around

-9 teenagers that allegedly participated in 35 robberies were released because their wasn’t enough proof, video was insufficient to identify and charge. DA refutes claims that she had them freed.

-Residents want consequences for criminals and police accountability and are outraged.

-Police say they are very short staffed with little street police presence at any given time and cannot pursue robbers because of protocol and past instances where innocent bystanders were hurt or killed in the pursuit of criminals. NAACP letter states the city is short 500 police officers.

-DA finishes by urging community to volunteer and involve themselves in community organizations which would piss me off as a resident because the most at risk youth, the ones doing the robbing and shooting, typically are not involved in organizations like the PAL or Boys & Girls Club and residents are too busy working their jobs and raising their own children in the midst of all this to get “involved” which is vague within itself.

Above the fray.

.
Glad that you and some others read article and/or watched the meeting. As you pointed out, the meeting went nowhere and the community and law enforcement leaders are at an impasse.

Residents are not going to sit around being guinea pigs for the D.A.'s policies for much longer, though. "In theory" and "in practice" are two different things, and they are suffering from the effects of these policies in practice.

*And yes, the District Attorney told a roomfull of residents who attended a public safety meeting that they should volunteer at Community/Social services organizations. And she said it with a straight face.

So do the docs on how black people fair in the justice system. Which makes threads like this funny. We have evidence of what can happen if we give cops/system even more power, yet you got some here wanting to repeat 94 again.:why:
So what do you want then? Because as I said, Oakland and the Bay Area in general is no where near a police state or a strict “law and order” community. So you want it to be lighter on crime, or is your answer to say “Oakland isn’t that bad” And just ignore reality? Im
In Oakland everyday.

I don't like this shyt where "crime" means "black crime" or is a codeword for black people. The NAACP telling people "it's not racist to speak out about crime" and implying that all the crime in a metropolitan area is black people is some bullshyt. THOSE OTHER GROUPS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES TOO.
The part that we can’t seem to wrap our heads around is that it’s our people doing THE MAJORITY of the crime. Yes, every group of people has troublemakers but our group has the overwhelming majority.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the NAACP, the police, the media, actual studies, data, your own eyes…for some reason we just cannot grasp that it’s our people doing most of this shyt out here.

It’s truly up to us to stop this shyt. How, idk, but it’s up to us, at this point.
