  1. How do you stop it with little access to quality education and housing?
  2. The culture is shaped by the environment they were raised in.
  3. It’s not the governments job at all. But think about it: In the early 20th century, Black people were generally limited to mediocre jobs due to barriers to entry like limited education. In part due to policies like redlining, they were prohibited from getting mortgages in certain parts of cities and were limited to the slums. Now, when you’re stuck renting a derelict old house and working at the smelting yard for minimum wage, you’re not going to be able to leave anything behind you. Thus, your kids won’t have much. Black schools were historically worse than white ones, so the cycle continued. When you have no hope for the future, it’s easy to turn to living in the moment, riding with gangs and whatnot. About 8% of America’s millionaires are Black. Only 1% of Black Americans with a high school degree are projected to become millionaires. Even with a masters degree, they’re still the lowest chance of becoming a millionaire. https://balancingeverything.com/millionaire-statistics/ There’s no reason not to keep working on removing barriers to success.
  4. Yes, and that should be commended. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work hard to remove the obstacles. Yes but much of that wealth is from athletics, music, movies, etc. Where is the generational wealth tied into homes, trust funds, college degrees, and so forth?
  5. I am not justifying it. It’s just part of my job to analyze neighborhoods and the outcomes of living in squalor
  6. Certainly, but don’t such environments foster more crime? When you’re starving, addicted to drugs, and have zero hope for the future, you do stupid things.
  7. I’m sure glad we gutted the FBI so we have no resources to catch this person in a timely manner. Thanks, Elon.
  8. Why do you think this is? Inherent mental deficiencies, or a product of poverty and shattered communities owning to decades of disinvestment and racial prejudice through the late 20th century?
  9. Scott Adams said we “can’t live with black people” anymore and got pissed that there were consequences for such rhetoric.
  10. Wasn’t the Catholic school shooter “detrans” or something? Their political beliefs were also all over creation
  11. I never said that. I am disagreeing that Kirk was some “kumbaya” moderate who only wanted honest debate.
  12. Disingenuous . He called for much worse than that. And no, he didn’t want to debate it for real. He was a meme years ago.
  13. He called for gay people to be stoned, man. It takes two to tango
  14. No I did not, I called for people to resist illegal ICE activity as they did in Rochester a couple days ago.
  15. You know, if people here wanted to have an actual discussion, I’m fine with it. It’s impossible to do so when posts I make get me called a “Marxist,” “commie,” “ pssy” or any of the other wonderful words I’ve gotten.
  16. Odd comment. No, I do not want you dead. That’s ridiculous. Paranoia is not going to help settle things.
  17. https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1965964294484562066?s=46&t=RLsRhQJBb5vROsgfJWkwSw Im so glad DOGE made the government more efficient.
  18. Why are you guys so angry about simply repeating Kirk’s words?
