[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There are tons, tons, of programs. Can Muriel herself and the city council require that parents give a fk about their kids and are ensuring they actually go to class? Schools are open. Even before the pandemic truancy was a major issue. Stop laying the blame on external forces. Maybe people should a) move to somewhere affordable. 2) if they choose to stay and accept subsidized housing that they stop shooting people or if they have kids, that they ensure their kids go to class and are not out on the streets.

The culture of NO personal accountability leads to the perpetuation of multi-generational poverty every single bit as much as systemic racism.  Both can be true at the same time.  But DC politicians are only willing to talk about the latter and not the former. [/quote]

+1.

When is Muriel going to speak the entire truth: As long as young black men are being raised in fatherless homes, with 15 - 18 year old uneducated mothers who may have multiple children with other men, and in homes in which substance abuse is rampant, these kids don't have a chance. Their lives are not valued except as a source of increased government benefits. No "programs" are going to fix that. The fact that they have such easy access to guns is a failure on society, I agree, but without value of life and education in the heart of the community, guns are only part of the problem.[/quote]

Agree with this PP ^^^
This is never addressed. Why not?[/quote]
