I am so sick and tired of the black victim-hood/entitlement society. If they look in the mirror, they would see the true cause of their problems, but they choose to blame whitey. If they took responsibility for their own actions, there probably wouldn’t be too many problems, but they refuse and the libs feed that line to them. They can call us all racists, but they will not like the outcome of “Cowboys and ferals”
While in the Air Force....I came to work with a guy who grew up in 1960s New Orleans. Bad environment, even then. Around age sixteen...his mom got an uncle who was in the Air Force to come and talk to him long and hard about going into the service. Around mid-70s....he joins and leaves New Orleans.
In the early 90s when we were chatting over this episode in his life, he admits that he occasionally goes back to New Orleans, and finds that almost all of the guys he grew up with....are either in prison, accustomed to weekly stays in the county jail, or making a marginal income at some local job. Half had a serious drug issue....most had serious drinking issues.
His outlook on life was that these couple of hours that the uncle spent on leaving New Orleans and joining the military....were well spent, and made him into the success he was. Military paid for his education....he had a two-year degree. He had an occupation that was going to pay off as he retired. He had no bills. And he had avoided the whole drug trail that existed in New Orleans.
This is virtually the only path left these days to escape the urban maze of dead-ends. If you stay....you end up a loser.
