The moment local politicians stop being soft on crime is the moment that they loose votes.   Bowser has to pacify her supports or risk loosing her mayoral seat.  If you are an AA mayor, or politician, then you must excuse lots of dysfunction in order to get votes or maintain your seat.  Folks will come after Bowser if she attempts to address crime.  Unfortunately, she is caught between a rock and a hard place.  Address crime and people especially AAs will not like her.   Don't address crime and folks will scream that she is enforcing white supremacy policies to keep AAs down.  Every politician especially Democrats know that in order to get and maintain the AA vote you most be soft on crime.  This is a realty that no one is going to touch with a ten foot pole.   It will be political suicide if any Democrat politician is not soft on crime.

I feel sorry for many AA and Democrat politicians because in order to do what you know is right will make you unpopular with AA voters.    Even if you are not a politician it is almost impossible to speak out against crimes in AA circles.  I am AA and when I speak out about the dysfunction that exist in urban areas mass opposition unfolds.     I have learned that in order to make peace you must go along with the status quo that white people are the cause of all of our problems including urban crime.  I think Bowser and many Democrat politicians just throw their hands up and just give up.  Being soft keeps AAs happy.   If you want to be an AA politician in America, then then you better toe the line period.  I don't blame Bowser.

Behind close doors she may want to get hard on crime, but the optics will not benefit her.  I know it is backwards.  Sometimes the urban AA community operates in a upside down Alice in Wonderland type of world where normal to everyone else is consider not normal to them. What is normalize in many urban areas across the country is only considered dysfunctional to outsiders who are looking in.   Crime is so normalize that it as become an identity for many urban AAs.  This is the only world that they know.  Even AAs like myself who are not accustomed to this thought process are shocked.  It is an eye opening experience.   The mental slavery that so many AAs in urban areas have is quite appalling to me.   They love politicians who are soft.   They feel like a soft politician can better relate to their struggle.   Bowser like many other politicians is doing what she has to do.  Good politicians must appease their flock not destroy it.

Why are people surprise about Bowser being soft?  Has anyone here ever a Democrat politician who was tough on crime?  The two just do not correlate with each other.      [/quote]

Is this for real? Honest question. [/quote]
