re: Black violence in America - Mississippi shootings

Considering Karmelo Anthony is likely going to prison today, and he has a father and is middle class (they live higher on the hog than I do for damn sure)... I don't think fixing "family and income" is going to move the needle as much as you'd hope.

Nope it's cultural... and thug gangsta hip hop culture is now mainstream culture for the majority of blacks, regardless of income. It's become their proud "black" identity.

Mississippi actually is in the top 3rd of education in the nation now.

No way they're not fudging those numbers. No friggin' way.

It's not hard to improve drastically when the idiots in blue states are trying to drag down education in the name of "diversity and inclusion". I dare say pretty much no where in MS had roughly 41% of high school students in the district earn below a 1.0 grade point average like in Baltimore.

It typically takes more than two generations to escape severe socioeconomic dysfunction. I would be surprised if his parents are two generations removed from it.

What does this mean?

How is kid A, raised by a wealthy two parent household, surrounded by other similarly positioned kids any different than kid B that's in the same boat but his grandparents were poorer?

ou can blame a lot of things, but Roe v Wade isn't one of them.

Then you can argue with this observation from a woman (St. Teresa of Calcutta) who knew full well the horror of "disposable humanity" since she and her nuns ministry involved picking up the maggot infested dying people left on the streets of Calcutta to rot.

Nothing more crucial to the civility of a culture than the respect for the dignity of the human person. Certainly our Founding Fathers understood that and it played a key role in the drafting of our Bill of Rights. But I digress.

I shall always remember (you should too) what Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said at that National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. in 1994. With pro-choice President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton looking on Mother Teresa just decimated your argument when she said.........

"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love one another, but to use any violence to get what they want. For if a mother can kill her own child, there is nothing left to prevent people from killing each other" - Mother Teresa of Calcutta -1994

I repeat Democrat Social Welfare policy has destroyed the nuclear family, and created the Culture of Death that now hangs over our culture like the plague.

But thank you for your response to my post.

Abortion kills babies, divides and destroys nations

I was using shorthand.

Being poor isn’t socioeconomic dysfunction. Being poor, living on welfare, in a single parent home and fostering criminal mindsets is.

Obviously, this issue is not going away as there doesn’t seem to be much appetite to address the root causes.

The root cause is already dead, but his monster may live forever.

Will America ever be able to curb black violence?

We could but people no longer have the stomach for what it would take to do it

Perhaps, but this will not fix the dependence on welfare or the drain on society

the issue is one of welfare culture and judicial malfeasance by leftists who enacted social justice inspired policing and sentencing.

Agree. You cure the symptoms through incarceration and the disease by addressing the welfare culture that created them.

The easiest solution is to lock up anyone with a stupid name before they can commit a crime. It's harsh but effective. We've given blacks plenty of time to improve, and all they've done is proven they are incapable. They've shown repeatedly that they can't handle living in a civilized society, so they should be treated as such.

It's insane that we allow such a small group to negatively impact society in this way. We need to recognize that not everyone deserves or can handle freedom. We waste so many resources on people that will never contribute. Stop giving them chances. They will never change, and it's time to accept the ugly truth.

This stupidity has to end.
