    See my post at #6. It's not because they're black, it's because of socioeconomic status. You don't see black families in rich areas doing this. It's because the welfare state in poor urban areas has destroyed the black nuclear family and created economic complacency.

    So, I'm in Mayfair (where I grew up from 12 on) and get jumped by blacks, all I have to do is tell them "It's not because you're black, it's because of your socioeconomic status. You don't see black families in rich areas doing this. It's because the welfare state in poor urban areas has destroyed the black nuclear family and created economic complacency. I understand", and I'll be OK. Got it.
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    My point is you wouldn't be getting jumped if they were in bed early to wakeup for a $80k/year job. The explanation clearly isn't helping in the moment which you know. Not sure what you're actually getting at here.

    Is it just easier to say it's because they're black?

    I thought it was because black families in rich areas are really white supremacists with black skin, thus not really black...

    Telling the truth is NOT racist....it is merely the truth!

    An $80K a year job probably requires some effort and qualifications and must be earned, not just given out. Not impossible to attain, but requires some personal responsibility and hard work including staying in school and passing grades. Probably not going to happen with everyone getting a trophy mentality.

    The factors that influence the economics in the hood are numerous and not easy to fix. But I stand by my stance that this is, at its core, a socioeconomic issue.

    I agree.

    Anyone has the propensity to become an animal when your back is pinned to the wall.

    Pinned to the wall in what manner? No money to feed yourself or children. No money to pay for simple clothes for yourself or children. No money to pay rent?

    The overwhelming majority of the violence is not occurring because of the above reasons.

    Tons of money is thrown at issues in urban areas to no avail. Tons of money is thrown at public schools to no avail. It is not simply about economics. I remember growing up in poor areas that didn*t have violence.

    The majority of violence is not occurring because of Covid or the Oaks Gun Show like Mayor Kenney proposes. Nor because people can*t afford to buy food or sneakers.

    And since there is near zero prosecution or repercussion all stops have been pulled.
