Well the poorest produce the most offspring so they can get higher welfare benefits. Something you look familiar with. 👍

@@Gold3n8oY3 No, I don’t agree to the welfare angle…wrong. The poorest do in fact have more babies and those with the highest education have the least.

The high crime epidemic begins with a poor family foundation. Broken homes created by deadbeat dad, teenage pregnancies, abuse in the home. But in the black community there is this perpetual scapegoating of single mothers being blamed for everything. No one ever points at the deadbeat dads who abandoned their children especially their boys. They’d get caught up in bad influences by awful role models. In this case the boy followed his criminal uncle. His family have a history of incarceration. It’s choice to continue a destructive generational pattern

Here's how it works. Mandatory minimums, lock up the father. Son grows up without father. Father can never get a job as a felon so he reoffends. Mothers get welfare money from the state. The taxpayers lose because government ass holes can't actually do something positive to attempt to remedy the situation, cops get the brunt of the blame.

“These young men don’t have the familial structure necessary to promote a positive outcome “ Sooooo is it not obvious that these young men fathers were taken from them and many sentenced to mandatory minimums for non violent crimes far lengthier than many who have committed heinous crimes and made a plea. Guess what, these young men, some who already have young ones of their own, then grow up as well as these young men turn into old men behind bars. Prisons need to be turned into rehabilitation centers instead of small unhygienic cells with barbaric guards and criminals who teach each other to be better criminals. Not preparing them once out, many having gotten locked up before graduating, sending them out with no trade, knowledge of financial stability and slapped on regulations that prevent them from making money legally in order to progress as a serving citizen in the community. They are sent out with what they learned inside. This is so frustrating.

Not all black males that are in prison are there because they committed a crime. Like any other race some do commit crimes but the system is also set up to unjustly imprison black males as well. This society is designed to oppress and tear down people of color and if you aren't strong you will fall in the trap of crime, drugs and even death. The oppression is in the job market, on the job, housing, the judicial system, the way they're treated by police and in their daily lives. This is no excuse for the crimes but a symptom. I was raised in a single parent home by my mom along with 4 other siblings and I never been in trouble with the law.

Most guards just watch the fights then after the fights they come in. Very racist blacks. My charge was armed robbery. I stayed in D4 C-POD they call it "the hood" Which was ran by the bloods gang, their set was called shine. After I started winning most the fights when they jumped me they got along with me really well after I broke some noses and jaws. Especially when they found out I was raised by blood gang members when I was in a group home from a small child to a grown man. I'm a country boy rock and roll white boy but I was raised by blood gang members every since I was a toddler in foster care in Charlotte NC. ❤️
