Some of y’all are out of touch with reality

Poor people who are really committing crimes to survive are usually doing non violent shyt. They just want to eat and have a place to live.
They’re not hurting anyone unless they feel they have no choice.

A lot of the people committing these violent crimes (especially the young ones) are literally using the money to buy designer clothes and other unimportant material shyt. They want a high end lifestyle that they can only afford by committing crimes and they’re gonna get what they want by any means.

Poverty has to be addressed, but the people that actually live in these areas want a more immediate fix. Unfortunately there is no immediate fix.

what does going into a Gucci Store and stealing items have anything to do with Poverty? :mjpls:
If you knew about people hooked on illegal money, you would understand. Once a person starts doing illegitimate things to survive, it usually, quickly goes from "surviving" to "trying to ball outta control".

Ace is the exception.
Mitch and Rico are the rule.

I advocate arresting and charging violent criminals. But you have to address the circumstances that are turning a lot of poor young Black males into criminals to begin with.
We can start by addressing the lack of fathers in homes. This falls on the women too, but they don’t want to hear that. We have accepted single parent households as normal in the black community. This contributes to poverty as well, because we have so many single income households, and a lot of the women get on government assistance, and don’t want to make too much to lose benefits. Their kids see this, go on to do the same thing, and it’s a never ending cycle, while expecting the government to create community centers, mentorship, etc.

Most Coli brehs don’t even want to date a single mom, yet black men are expected to mentor kids that are strangers, and let’s face it, are very rude, and disrespectful.

You’re right, but you’re wrong for a lot of these cases

These kids are doing this shyt to ball out the gate. They see other people doing it and getting a slap on the wrist or flat out getting away with it and they wanna do the same thing

This is not about survival

A lot of these kids ain’t even below the poverty line :dead:

Problem with this type of thinking is the numbers don't support this. Yall keep repeating this white supremist talking point.

Bad excuse. Jobs are available. Instead of carjacking folks should be out working.
Go on Indeed and tell me what jobs are available in those areas that will have them living decent enough to be worth it, Show me the GAINFUL employment they're "ignoring" to do crime.

Are you saying the numbers on black children out of wedlock are false? Are you saying we don’t have a fatherless child problem? Seeing your kid once a week, and calling isn’t being an active parent. The man needs to be in the home.

yes and yes. its just symptom not the main problem if that was the case we would have no mass murders are crimes in the era where there was both parents in the house.

Im confused, so what is your solution?
Why does he need to have a solution to point out something isn’t accurate? That’s the problem with a lot of people and how we got the war on drugs. This idea of doing “something” even if it isn’t clear what that is or what it will do.
