cabrini was a failure, chicago inner city is unmanageable, fifty years of democrat leadership isn't working and the media hides it.
No surprise, most inner cities are a problem. It comes with poverty. Desperate people do desperate things.
I disagree.
I think it comes from a dysfunctional culture, and poverty is a byproduct of that dysfunction.
I disagree that you are disagreeing. I think your point is part of the equation.
Many ethnic groups came to this country poor and landed in desperate ghettos - but they found their way out. What I find different is the culture of slavery from which American Blacks descend. That yoke didn't just disappear in 1865. Life hardly changed for blacks immediately after they were "freed". And it lingers.
I think there are fewer racist in this day- but I also think the issue is alive and ugly.
Right you are--and there are racists in EVERY ethnic group but there are fewer than in the past. Militant actions by racist organizations (BLM) bent on dividing Americans do no service to the anti-racism movement.
I agree that there's a lot of race on race, the Hatfields and the McCoys. I also agree that thing have moved and are moving in the right direction.
As for BLM, I'm not going to defend everything they do, but they have legitimate gripes. George Floyd was murdered in cold blood, on film.
It's so sad that so few people are open to both the broad imperfection of the species and the goodness that is in the majority of hearts.
Yes, George Floyd was murdered on film. And the cop who murdered him and the useless dolts who stood around and allowed it lost their jobs and were charged with crimes.
So how is that a point? The national stats don't support that cops are murdering backs. Far more blacks murder cops than the other way around and cops don't kill blacks in excess of the proportional interactions with cops.
I LOVE video tape for that reason. No doubt. Let's go after cops when they murder someone no matter what color they are.
But the crisis mode created by the Democrat party and BLM which is a Democrat political advocate not a social justice group does far more harm to our country than good. Anyone paying attention would see that
