The Black community continues to be held hostage by the scum of the community..Too many black people don't value black lives.

[Will Ross]

Bruh. He got shot at a Roscoes in the hood. Not on Rodeo Drive. Knock it off. How can you say it’s not about poverty? How many wealthy suburban black kids do you hear about actually robbing and killing people? It’s not by chance the highest crime rates are always in poorest areas with the lowest education levels. You sound white too. Gtfoh

The vast majority of guys that rob want quick easy money.
Most poor people don't commit crime.

 

[staticshock]

Ok number one there is no black community.

2: we are held hostage by white supremacy 1st and foremost.

3. This gang shyt street shyt whatever is out of control because the OG’s got locked up for life during the previous crime bill.

4. Crack

5. Unwed single moms.

6. Poverty

7. Poor schools and antiquated teaching methods.

8. Social media is demonic

Stop it. It’s 2022. People have plenty of chances to better themselves via college, trade school, an apprenticeship, the military or just getting a 9-5 & stacking your bread.

Oh so now this shyt only happens in the hood? Explain Pop Smokes murder

Nah I didn’t say it only happens in the hood. He said it has nothing to do with poverty and I pointed out that he was in the hood while it happened then stated criminality and poverty are directly correlated across the board for every race in every country.

Pop Smoke mistakenly posted his address on an IG video he made. The shooters admitted to this. So they drove up there and robbed/shot him. They were not wealthy suburban kids who were bored and decided to go rob somebody. They were from the hood and found a lick. My point stands.

I didn’t say most poor people commit crime. Read it again. I said the highest crime rates are in the poorest neighborhoods across the board. Wherever you go. To ignore that fact is ignorant but go head breh.

 

[Dynamite James]

Generations of ignorance is what’s keeping this cycle going.

Nothing gonna change until material conditions change.

ok breh. calling me african while complaining about the circumstances in the US saying that i don’t understand. there’s a million programs and ways to make a way for yourself that don’t even exist over there. i get the poverty=criminality thing but there’s is also a problem of a lack of spiritual guidance. people are just too weak willed. i just had a dear friend who got killed.

there’s this psychosis going on where we can’t just be accountable and disciplined.


this is beyond arguing. im a rambling african c00n

I didn’t call you a rambling African c00n. I don’t support that FBA vs whatever the fukk bullshyt either for the record.

I’m not attempting to say that because the odds are stacked against us we should just give up and allow criminals to do whatever they want. I’m only trying to get the point across that the problem in our community is nuanced and a good place to start in getting us out isn’t faith it’s finances. We as a people have been blocked from those finances for generations so it’s not surprising we’re here.

I think this group we in can’t be compared to other cultures or communities because we didn’t create it
It’s a bunch of people forced to mate and forced to live under certain cultural and political conditions outside are control
Those conditions were passed down to what we have know so I don’t really consider it organic, it’s more artificial

that still doesnt negate that there is a community

all these things you listing and words to describe them like "organic" is all arbitrary standards you have. None of this proves or shows that there is no "community"

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

Dude got killed in a restaurant because of poverty and outside forces?

We still doing surface level thinking stuff. Fwiw crime is at all time lows nationally so I’m not sure why y’all keep pushing hysteria on here.

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

The majority of these killers are not poor and they aren't taking hits for money, they just killing to kill. It's one big game to these kids.

Show me the receipts on this. Unless you have proof I’m not remotely interested in some off hand opinions. Once again y’all are just parroting right wing propaganda that paints us as naturally violent people

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Stop it. It’s 2022. People have plenty of chances to better themselves via college, trade school, an apprenticeship, the military or just getting a 9-5 & stacking your bread.

Do you know how many people literally have no clue about any of the above? Y’all underestimate how down bad some people are.

Sadly this is also a side-effect of Black adults born in the 1940s-1960s not following up momentum from the civil rights movement and building an economic base. Instead of keeping and building businesses in the Black community (group economics), most of the best and brightest went to work for Corporate America. Solid economic base = more stable families = less of this nonsense. RIP PNB.

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

Typical deflecting. Just bring up Fox News or CAC. That’ll do the job

You hold the same uneducated propaganda opinions they do. Shoe fits

 

[DatBoiHawk]

And to think. Charleston white gets a lot of shyt because that’s what he’s trying to do

You are just as bad as nap. You are a product of the suburbs….I don’t take you seriously and don’t value your opinion. You are a tool.
