Have pity for them. They need the coats more than you do. These poor people don’t have access to any help.

Yeah, sure! Blame poors for the acts of lawless.

It's not the wealthy committing armed robbery.

It's not the poor either. These are crimes of opportunity.

Or crimes of malice.

I think we should be careful about throwing the word “crime” around before we analyze the full context under which each of these type of activities occur.
Many of these type of events I think we would all agree would fall into a “needs” category (i.e. people need a coat to survive but cannot afford one due to society’s exploitation). This should not be a crime.
What I think needs to be further explored is how many of these events are acts of empowerment - an oppressed individual seeking dignity and self-actualization against their oppressor. Not something I would classify as crime.
In the end I think we’d be left with a tiny fraction that could be considered truly criminal activity.

I’m going to assume this is sarcasm.

The problem is it very well may not be. People like this actually exist. Hence the situation we are in.

It’s funny yet sad that everyone knows this crime wave is driven by blacks but we can’t actually say so in public discourse.

You’re right but you probably just got this thread locked

+100000. Everyone thinks this but you can’t say it. Which means it’s probably true.

All these discussions about poverty, underdeveloped brains, etc. are all so dumb and even leftists secretly know it. There are plenty of poor white, poor Asian, and poor Hispanic communities and you don’t see anywhere near the same levels of crime.

Most poor people, regardless of race, are not violent criminals.

But a critical mass are violent in one group (we all know which) and not others.

And the difference is that of the groups you listed, only one came to this country treated as dehumanized property, forcibly separated from family, language, culture and continuity of human experience. Every other immigrant group arriving, despite the prejudices and hardships they faced, maintained some type of family structure and cultural continuity even while assimilating. The legacy of dehumanization (and the effects flowing from it) stay with us to this day. It is a testament to human resilience and endurance that the violent "critical mass", as you put it, is as small as it is.

And I am not trying to excuse violent criminals. The leftist progressive policies of DC have been a disaster. Violent people need to be confined, and we need better rehabilitation. But don't blame one group of people without recognizing the unique and horrific treatment of that group within the context of American history.

This isn’t really true. Look at the UK.

One important point people seem to forget is that a huge number of law abiding Blacks are the victims of crime that leftist progressive policies (and useless DC politicians) have enabled.

Most progressives are critical theorists so they view the poor as oppressed. To them, street crime is justice. That's why this won't be solved as long as leftists are in charge. We need good moderate liberals and conservatives to come in and implement solutions that work in the real world, not just the world of make-believe that progressives live in.

Leftists are getting robbed to and they are changing their tune. Funny how that happens.

My DH fought hard to keep affordable housing in Columbia Heights and U St. Rallied, walked, testified, organized, wrote, visited reps. He was robbed at gun point and beaten up by the people he organized for right on U St. He doesn’t try to help keep those projects anymore.

Did they ask for his help or is he a white knight?

Well he’s not white so there goes that racist trope

By this logic, all the Jewish immigrants fleeing the Holocaust would be also be committing crimes. Or was their experience not dehumanizing enough? Their families certainly weren’t left intact.

Different group. Different ignored motives and sordid history. Same evolutionary challenges.

It’s not all the blacks. It’s a small minority of them making the lives of everyone else a living hell. It’s the excuses 500 years later. It’s the lack of 2 parent households. Single moms trying to do everything and have to work so they can’t parent. It’s the schools and the parents who allow full days of disrespect and disruption instead of the education they need to learn how to be productive members our society. It’s the reforming curricula to teach blacks to hate their own neighbors so they can form a loyal voting block instead of atp focusing on the shared history, how everyone worked together to end slavery and segregation, the civil rights act. It’s the perfect crab boil trapping the innocent blacks and holding them back.

Foreign blacks don’t have these issues and if you notice they tend to separate almost completely from the American blacks and they are thriving. The American blacks, the culture is poisoned

JFC enough with this already.
