This article reaches a whole new level of weird, trying to blame the effect and not the cause.

I think they are saying abandoned cars are “culprits” contributing to crime.

I think they’re trying to say without actually saying it that it’s not people who annoy you.

It’s true. Some neighborhoods are worse than others, but there are abandoned cars everywhere here.
To: Jeff Chandler
So . . . who’s the culprit?I'm sure it's not the little darlings they love so much.

I never heard “abandoned vehicles” as a euphemism for black people before, but I learn something new every day.

For years now, Oakland has been battling an onslaught of burned, stripped and abandoned vehicles that have made certain parts of the city feel like a scene from a John Carpenter sci-fi epicToday, it's "Escape from Oakland."
Tomorrow, it's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."

Car thieves don’t destroy neighborhoods, stolen cars do.

“My kids have never walked down my block,” community organizer Keisha Henderson said. “We’re in jail in our own communities.” The dim utopia which hasn't changed much in my lifetime. This could have been said of the American urban ghetto 50 plus years ago. Maybe a slight glimmer when Giuliani had the broken windows policy going but I can't recall anything else positive.

Until blacks themselves take matters into their own hands and demand that their culture and communities fix themselves, nothing is going to change.
Whites are not able to fix the problems. More money being poured into them isn’t going to help. The problem is not an external one, but an internal one, one of the heart.
Those good, decent, hard working blacks need to hold accountable the ones who aren’t and ignore the protests and accusations of being an Uncle Tom and acting white, etc.
Democrats don’t want to help the blacks and besides, what with the blacks rejecting anything white people do except take their money, they will reject the help of whites.
If blacks don’t like the situation they are in, it’s up to them to fix it because they are the only ones who can.
Quit blaming others and take responsibility for your own lives. We can’t help what happens to us but we can help how we respond to it.

It certainly does not seem likely short of some kind of overwhelming Divine Intervention.
There is only one other solution to a problem like that, and that is not going to happen.
