he problem with the Black inner cities is first and foremost a moral/cultural one. No plan to throw money at cities can succeed until the moral problem is fixed.
but liberals consider it racist to talk about ghetto issues such as the baby mama culture, the gang/drug culture, ghetto culture. Since it’s racist to discuss some of the moral/cultural failures, then that’s the end of discussion, and anyone who says anything is racist. That seems to be where we are at.
The truth is that the backbend expert mainstream media IS racist against blacks. This whole thing is racism against blacks. The bigotry of low expectations. The media does hand wringing as blacks destroy their cities, because they don’t expect decent behavior out of blacks angry at police brutality. The media would be horrified if white kids did this, or asians, or Hispanics. But blacks are pitied as if they could never act like mature adults.
Even if a black youth was tortured and killed by police, there are ways to address that grievance like adults. Blacks are not expected to behave like adults. They get away with behaving like toddlers or animals because of racism.
Society needs to be utterly disgusted at to stop this rioting any way necessary, exactly as they would if Russians invaded Baltimore and did equal destruction.
The way to fix cities is to demand adult, responsible behavior of everyone. Create homeless incarceration and insist that everyone have an address.* Get decent black leaders (they exist: Larry elder, Rev Jesse Peterman, etc) and shame black people into carefully creating their families, not breeding like squirrels. No free school lunches or breakfasts, low cost ones. No free daycare, low cost ones.
Remind everyone in the community:
1) do not have unprotected sex ever until you have a good job and are ready to support a child for 18 years
2) stay in school or teach yourself
3) learn a trade through school or apprenticing yourself to someone
4) get a job and do it well; don’t leave until you get another one
5) avoid intoxication
6) marry before having a baby
And you won’t be poor ever. Neither will your child.
It’s not that hard.
*homeless incarceration is akin to a poorhouse. They’d be locked in during dark hours and given food and bathrooms, Internet connection and phones to search for jobs, but it should not be pleasant. Any mentally ill or addicted should be put into mental health institutions until or unless they can function in society. If I were queen.
