A fine example of Leftist Logic.
Yeah, makes me want to move there. (just a wee bit of sarcasm)
> A fine example of Leftist Logic.
Huh??? I don’t understand — how is it “Leftist Logic” for a community to take responsibility for its own outcomes and for individuals within that community to mobilize against crime? That’s just plain Good Citizenship.
The article says:
>> In the Ella Baker center, the communications strategy is very important. We see ourselves trying to bridge the different parts of Oakland. It’s up to all of us. Often times, when we hear about violence, we start to point fingers — is it the mayor’s fault, the police’s fault, the neighbor’s fault? But when you point at someone, three fingers point back at you. This is such a widespread crisis, it creates opportunities for us to think– what can I be doing that I’m not doing? Maybe there’s a kid across the street who’s struggling with Math. Talk to him, and teach him for two hours a week. If we all did 1 simple thing, it would make a difference.
How is that “Leftist???” It would be “Leftist” if they said “it’s the Gummint’s fault! They got to fix everything!”
This is a perfectly good CONSERVATIVE initiative, one that is well worth Conservatives supporting.
You do not have to accept Crime in your neighborhood. But if you do nothing, then Crime is the default situation.
