You talking about the community or the police ?
You really think that being unprofessional and "punishing" the community by not doing your job is a way to gain the community trust and respect ???
Is it about being unprofessional or a community that wants to coddle and make excuses for criminals' behavior? If black lives matter, where are the mentors and men from among them who are sick of seeing THEIR young people turning to drugs, gangs, and crime? Is it easier to blame the cops than face criminal statistics? When will the real men begin to stand up for themselves, face some responsibility and accountability for their kids?
You guys sit around the pool hall or some other male bonding place taking bits and pieces of media driven hate and making it worse.
You don't question your sources or consider that most Black fathers take care of their kids even if they might not be married to the mothers at the time of birth. You just take the propaganda delivered to you on a silver platter and run with it because that is exactly what you want to hear. Many of you probably never have any kind of interaction with a Black person except in a work environment. That makes what Rush, Bill O'Reilly or Hannity say the hate monger's gospel. You are well indoctrinated...
This is not propoganda, and I frankly don't care if my view happens to be shared by O'Reilly and Hannity or not. It's rather hypocritical to concern yourself with cops that are going after those who commit the crime, and not look to those men who should be policing their own kids rather than abandoning the mom to raise them on their own because they are a bunch of lazy asses who don't care. You want me to believe black lives matter? ... than concern yourself with those kids within your own continuity and reach out to them instead of showing a blind eye to it. Man up and reach out and actually concern yourself with those youth in your own backyard and neighborhoods, stop making excuses to look for someone else to blame for what you are not willing to do.
The CDC has completed and disseminated a report that more than 72% of Black children are born out of wedlock.
And, as expected, those who hate Blacks are all over it. Assumptions abound ;and, the lowest social conditions of the 25% of Blacks who are poor are attributed to the entire community as a whole. The statistics do not tell the whole story.
The most important issue here is the false notion that Back fathers are absent and have abandoned the mothers of their children.
Yet, one study at least has found that notion to be spurious. In general
Black fathers do take responsibility and support their children. Many cohabit with the mothers and are even more available than many White married fathers.
Obviously you have made up your mind that Black children are all mired in poverty with only a welfare mother to look after them.
You are wrong! There are some, but everyplace I have gone in these United States, I have found that to be the exception rather than the rule. But even so, some single mothers are also employed and capable of taking care of their children without having to resort to welfare. And they usually have children fathered by men with jobs too.
Further,
the black birthrate has been declining for years.
"Unwed Black mothers" seems to be the major weapon in your pejorative arsenal which some ambiguous author has launched with extreme prejudice. What they forgot to mention was that many
Blacks marry AFTER the child is born. Or they cohabit.
This is what is bonkers. You think someone like me, pointing that out, is somehow "hating blacks". As if pointing out truth, is the same as being hateful. It's not.
But the entire reasons I point that stuff out, is because I want all people, including Blacks, to succeed.
The number one factor in determining long term success for children, is the quality of the home. Period. Every time they research indicators of the success of any individual child, the primary factors are quality of the home. Family.
Shacking up, is not being married. Cohabiting is not the same as having a married mother and father. It's not the same.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if you are "available". My father was not always available. But I saw what work ethic looks like. I saw what taking care of responsibilities looks like. I learned that being a man, means getting up and going to work, even if you don't feel like it. Even if you don't want to.
I had a friend that lived a few doors down, and his father was NEVER available. He was a lawyer, and worked until 8 PM every night. Now they went to movies now and then, and of course trips across the country, but his father was never home until late at night. His kids turned out very good. One is a high in computer programmer earning 6-figures, and the other is a university professor.
Now don't be a typical left wing jerk, and claim that I am saying that all black fathers are home all the time, and useless, teaching their kids nothing.
I am arguing against this implied claim that somehow because they are more available, that this is automatically good. I don't care how available they are.
When I was little kid.... maybe 7 or 8 years old... I shoplifted from a store. My parents bought me a video game, and I broke the disk. I happen to know they had that very game on display at the store. I went to the store, and swapped out the broken disk, with the good disk. My father found that disk, realized what I had done, grabbed me by the arm, dragged me to the store, called for the store manager, put me in the MIDDLE of the store... and said to EVERYONE.... "My son stole this from your store. If you want to call the police, that's fine, or you can make him work for you for free. Whatever you want to do".... I was TERRIFIED. I don't even remember what happened....
I never stole anything from anywhere ever again. I didn't need my father to be "available". He was gone before I woke up in the morning, and came home at 5:30 to 6 PM. What I needed was my father to teach me how to be a man, how to learn right from wrong.
Now when I see people going crazy, looting places, throwing rocks at police.... Clearly, no matter how 'available' or not the father was, the lessons on how to grow up into an adult, failed to get passed on.
That's true whether you are white, black, purple, orange, green, or blue with pointy ears.
By the way.... Asians in America have a lower chance relative to their population, than white people of getting into crime, or being shot by police, and have on average higher income levels than whites.
Is that racism against whites? No, I'm just speaking the truth. Time for you to stop making excuses, and just deal with it.
