[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t need to talk about “cultural problems” in a community. We need to talk about public policies rooted in systemic racism that perpetuate cyclical poverty and feelings of hopelessness and indignity.

If UC and UMC white people are looking to blame someone, look in a mirror…[/quote]

Yeah, no it's not UMC white people who are murdering and carjacking in this city. This is just nonsense. Most poor people don't go around murdering and carjacking and assaulting either. Stop trying to blame "whiteness" for sociopathic behavior. For all races, one of the highest risk factors for criminal behavior is single parent family structure --and DC has one of the highest rates of single parent households. I'm all for arguments about better community policing, improving public education, and the like, but guess who is paying the highest taxes to fund those who don't work and don't give back to society and to whom most of those dollars are sent? The UC and UMC people (who are not all white, by the way) whom you are trying to pathologize here.

So the solution here is patriarchy? Is that what you are saying? Property crimes for things that can be easily replaced are not worth the future of our children spending years in jail due to a mistake they made as a kid. [/quote]

DC should give a new car to each 16 year old black. And if you continue to steal cars after that, then you go to jail and stay there. [/quote]
