People like Mike have no solutions and furthermore based on personal experience they won't support ideas from people in those communities financially in order for change to be created. You have presented a holistic look, but Mike wants to talk about unwed births and fatherless homes.
The problem is economic development. If teens in the hood had the availability of retail jobs that exist in the suburbs you would not have the dominance of drug sales and the crime that goes with it. But instead of understanding that, we see lectures about how black men are irresponsible and black women are sluts.
But whose fault is that? Besides the laughable notion that someone is going to work a minimum wage job when they can make much more money selling drugs, why won't companies open those retail outlets in those poor neighborhoods?
So until whites like mike learn to listen he is going to use the deaths of black children to spew racist filth and will dismiss expert knowledge of what black communities need from members in those black communities. Almost 300,000 blacks died last year from hypertension. Hypertension caused by stress. Stress caused by living with racism. That stress along with access to gun is a factor relative to inner city violence. But Mike can't see that because it doesn't fit his paternalistic belief that he can preach to black people about how we should live. He dismisses the 600 blacks who die each day from that hypertension and has demanded to see death certificates proving death being caused by racism because he's obtuse. For some reason people who think like him believe that racism is no big thing, it causes no physical or psychological harm.
First, bullshit on the 300K numbers.
Facts About Hypertension | cdc.gov
Learn statistics and other facts about hypertension (high blood pressure) in the United States.
www.cdc.gov
- High blood pressure was a primary or contributing cause of death for 516,955 people in the United States in 2019.
Secondly, if blacks have a higher incidence of hypertension, it has a LOT more to do with diet. But we can't talk about that without being called "racist".
He has dissed studies as leftist propaganda because they don't fit his narrative. But if he is going to create a thread about black deaths, those are black deaths. But those deaths don't fit his racist assumptions.
This is nothing more than a white racist baith thread and it should be treated as such.
Not at all.
If a cop kills a Laquan McDonald or a George Floyd, he is held to account. Even if the victim was doing something stupid to contribute to the incident, it's pretty much a career killer.
If a hoodlum kills a Serenity Broughton, nobody saw nothing. Nobody reports it. There aren't demonstrations at city hall demanding justice. The only reason why we even have one of the three people who killed her was because he was dumb enough to threaten the girl's uncle on Facebook.
