Throwing cash at the problem perpetuates the problem.Your solution is custom-made for the Demo politicians who have for decades been complicit in the disintegration of America's black families. You want society to provide funding and to force deadbeat dads to help carry the load. Millions of us grew up running the streets (or working) for summer entertainment and our dads didn't have to be forced to do the right thing when it came to support. Society can't fix what is killing black kids by throwing more cash at the problems. People tend to change when they hit rock bottom ... I guess black America just hasn't gotten there yet.
First of all, cash hasn't been thrown at the problem since the Reagan years with gov. cuts. And if you look at the data, just about all programs aimed for inner city youth have all but diminished, that is fact....including welfare and other social programs that have been diluted or cut. Meanwhile defense spending has soared.....4 trillion since Reagan and counting.......And if you look at the data, you'd see the surge of youth violence and black homicide actually escalated during these times, with summer job programs and activities cut.
Bottom line, the youth we keep wanting to ignored and wish away, will be the criminals we will all fear today and beyond. Think about it!!
I agree with your bottom line ... that babies born into today's single-parent families (67% of America's black kids) are tomorrow's violent criminals and if you sincerely want to see an end to the carnage in our black communities, get busy convincing those kids that birthing babies into that environment is child abuse and self-destructive.
I did notice you forgot to post the sources of your "facts" but we have had many Democrat presidents and legislatures in the past 35 years. Blaming Reagan is just more of the same "victimhood" that attempts to pin it all on Whitey.
The fact is we as a nation have expended vast resources in a futile attempt to have a positive impact on people who seemingly laugh at our effort and consider us fools for even trying.
If you look at FACTS.....you would notice that during the economic boom of the 1990's, during the Clinton years, the crime rate actually dropped. As a matter of record, it hadn't been as low since the Kennedy years. One can only assume it was because of JOBS and opportunities. Had nothing to do with government aide, our economy simply had JOBS.
And don't keep blaming me, because Reagan was a white guy....with this blame YT crap
You can assume that but you would be wrong and the opportunities are out there but we lack the skills to fill them. Most decreases in crime have been a function of demographics. As the baby-boomers - those born between 1946 and 1960 - aged, their criminal activities diminished.
Agreed, however you can not blame a generation such as yours, who's middle class grew from labored jobs in manufacturing, where "skills" only required a high school
diploma and two good pair of hands......on Today's economy that requires degree's...which is accessible to those with money. Again, if we keep ignoring the underbelly of this nations woes, as predicted...the US in 25 years will mimic a 3rd world country....and its coming fast and we're already there with our infrastructure neglect
