I post this often—but since it is never discussed anywhere it is worth reposting.

I call it the “grandma issue”.

Grandma is a sweet black lady. Everybody likes grandma. She is friendly and helpful to her neighbors and has a smile for everybody. She qualifies for her section 8 voucher and moves into the complex.

At some point grandma’s daughter gets arrested—usually for drug-related offenses and the court orders the kids to be removed from the home.

Grandma—being the wonderful person she is—steps in and rescues the kids. They move in with her.

At least one of them is a teenager—boy or girl.

That teenager then invites friends to visit.

Then the neighborhood is suddenly facing break-ins and other crimes they have never seen before....

Rinse and repeat—thousands and thousands of times.

Madison, that’s the problem. Home of a liberal woke university cranking out woke graduates. DemocRATS the bunch of ‘em.

Yep, sadly, these older grandmothers are enabling the bad behavior and downward spiral in the lives of the grandchildren.

They want to be helpful, but those kids really need some form of tough love, not enabling.
