re: Why do we have to pretend inner city kids are in hopeless situations?

They aren't in hopeless situations, but those kids oftentimes are at a major disadvantage.

Not b/c the white man, but b/c of the sins of their fathers.

That’s what you think. In reality these programs are being cut by billionaires.

My mother was one of those to "never give up." She helped a young man who was a teammate of my younger brother, when his family was experiencing a tragedy. The young man was dirt poor, lived in a shotgun shack and in the worst part of town. The neighbors were pretty racist and didnt appreciate it.

She took him in for a while when his brother died, gave him shoes to play basketball in and the young man graduated college and has a NBA Ring from his play with the Houston Rockets.

She was there for him when he graduated college. She walked the walk.

Not all are hopeless, but many are without intervention on the part of individuals, not collective society.

God bless your mom.

This makes me smile as an adoptive white parent of a black girl. There is always hope

These kids literally could join the military and be “out the hood” within weeks with full educational benefits and steady income with housing. They could have actually tried in school and had access to thousands of scholarships for any inner city kid who could learn to write his name.

Can't go acting all white like that. The other hoodrats will call him an Uncle Tom, which is the worst possible thing a hoodrat could be called.

Jail or Military. The Judge just needs to give them a choice. If they want to kill either way they might as well go do some "good killing."
