And exactly what is ghetto? I drive by rural Kansas towns that look like what people call ghettos and where kids are bullied but nothing gets done.

A ghetto is a poor urban area where primarily a minority group lives. It has a definition that you can look up.

More dumb white racism.

IQ2 prefers his dumb black racism.

What I call ghetto is unkempt yards/terraces/balconies/porches/etc. Several of the apartments in that complex have crap piled up outside them. The entire complex is an eyesore and is frequented by the cops of Baltimore County. They had one tennant a few years ago that went on a killing spree and set his apartment on fire afterwards. There's a run down liquor store not far from it (maybe a couple of blocks) that you see several of the residents walking to quite frequently. Like I said in another reply, I know that area well since I drive thru it often.

The problem with our country is that too many people do not ask why. They just assume. Why have some people lost hope? We don't ask that, especially those on the right. The arrogance on the right has people assuming that people just want to live that way.

Have you ever heard a kid who said they want to live in subsidized housing on welfare when they grow up? And let's stop blaming them for their choices alone, because it is the choices of many that create these situations.

I will use this example once again:

“I can say for sure that happens because I did it. Before retirement, I was an Engineer. For the last 20 years of my career, I was a Manager and Director and I hired hundreds of people. I reviewed well over a thousand resumes for all kinds of positions. Everything from Secretaries to Engineering Managers. Both Salary and Hourly. I always culled out the resumes with Black Ethnic names. Never shortlisted anybody with a Black Ethnic name. Never hired them.”

This is done by millions of whites in millions of jobs. How many people have ended up in subsidized housing drawing welfare because of people doing things like what you see above?

Men and women of all races have turned to selling drugs and prostitution because they had bills and could not get jobs in time to pay them. Some faced racism, and some sexism. Yet to the arrogant right who apparently live on Easy Street, none f these things can happen, it's just that people are lazy. We need get out of this self-centered thinking that just because I do, everybody does or can. Each of us who has "succeeded" has done so because somewhere somebody gave us a chance. None of us have EVER lifted ourselves up by our own bootstraps. It's time some Americans faced this reality. So because we have been blessed, it is our job to share our blessings instead of hoarding them.

And like I said, I drive through rural towns that look exactly like what you describe. But it is ironic that the UCR shows that the types of crime being committed in the video this guy posted from Twitter is done by whites against whites more than it is by blacks against whites by a multitude. Yet we keep seeing these tweets as if they are common daily occurrences. But what they actually are is race-baiting.

 

[westwall]

A white person bypassing all the white-on-white crime in America to post a tweet bout back kids committing a crime is white racism. Baltimore black attorneys, judges, and juries have put blacks in prison for crimes they commit and are not trying to get Congress to release a man who murdered an unarmed citizen as whites are trying to do for Chauvin. White crimes against blacks are committed daily and not covered by anyone. So stop the fake white victimhood.

Awwwwwww, look at you deflecting away.

Where you are. Anyplace people who think like you do congregate, there is a ghetto.

Who do you believe should start making progress?

There are three types of people in this world.

1. Get things done yourself
2. Waiting for someone to get things done for you
3. Wishing something gets done for you

I can tell you the first type has a better future than the second and third. If blacks don't want the perpetual cycle to pass from one generation to the next in terms of hopelessness, take the initiative and make the change. Tell black youths to behave in public. Try those for starters.
