[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not murdering anyone. Neither are my neighbors.

If every person in Baltimore could just do that, and THAT alone, this problem would be solved.

Don't preach to me. I grew up poor AF in southwestern VA in a little squalid mining town you've never even heard of. Everyone was I knew was poor. But we didn't kill each other. [/quote]

And this is why you're not an expert at solving the problems of inner cities.  Don't have any actual ideas that might work in the real world?  Then no need to spit out your holier-than-thou commentary.[/quote]

Do you have any solutions? People have been trying to fix the inner cities of Baltimore for 50 years now. No success whatsoever. If anything it’s gotten worse. The only solution I see from the liberals is to just throw more money after bad, and I’m a liberal saying this.

Actually, we do know what possible solutions could be that could do something meaningful but we won’t do it because it requires turning large parts of Baltimore into a military state. And we don’t do that in America. So there is really no solution that we can accept and tolerate. [/quote]

DP  The solution isn't more policing but a fundamental change in culture....which is very difficult to achieve.  [b]The toxic masculinity of the black culture[/b], which has been written about extensively by black scholars, is the root of much of the evil that happens in Baltimore.  You can throw all the money you want at better schools, workforce training, etc. but it will all come to naught of the culture doesn't change.  [/quote]

This is a load of crap.  That isn't "black culture," that's poor/lower socioeconomic culture.  If it were "black culture," middle class and UMC black people would be behaving like that. You're ignorant as hell and likely get your perception of black people from TV...SMH[/quote]

One can then wonder why poor whites do not quite behave in the same way? Poor white neighborhoods can be just as riddled with drugs but are rarely, if ever, as violent.

Let's call it poor/lower socioeconomic black culture. [/quote]
