Yeah, they really should look into food stamps - http://bit.ly/PKgg4B

They should also look into the failed drug war that has rendered these cities into effective grounds for gangs and violence...the same drug war perpetuated by the corrupted state's policies.

They should also look into the failing schools that don't provide quality education which later translates into limited opportunities...which later translates into limited employment and drives mothers and fathers to turn to crime to put food on the table.

It's a policy issue, not simply an individual issue. Would you not say that the realities that people are born into dictate individual opinion and action?

I brought into conversation because it's relevant regarding the initial comment of police distrust.

Some privilege is earned, you're right...and in other cases, you're born with it. Or better yet, born without it and always in a constant chase to "earn" it.

Abolish the privilege: end institutional racism (before you jump on it, that also means put an end to welfare/prison traps and race-based affirmative action; that sh!t only acts as a hindrance)

So racism is gone and you're colorblind, right? How rosy of a reality. Next thing you're going to tell me to do is to pull myself by my bootstraps and get out and vote, right? http://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo Cause that has worked well out so well.

F*ck Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. They're used as ploys to bring stupidity into the equation which later prompts people like you to hate them, later preventing any legitimate criticism of race and power.

Also, there are people of color who are sick of this type of behavior if by that you mean violence on our streets. And lo and behold, some of them correctly identify the very root of the problem yet when they do, they're written off by bigots who buy and support the state-sponsored narrative.

That source doesn't prove your initial claim of folks being fat @sses and watching Maury and Jerry Springer. You've proved nothing, my fine chap, and have actually rendered yourself useless in this debate. http://youtu.be/Y0Rjn6W9jYk :*

It's not about the racist white people; it's about the institutions that systematically and disproportionately target those who aren't white. It seems that you have a problem with me bringing up race, except that it's a necessity when addressing bigoted viewpoints such as the one that you hold.

I've addressed the issue, my man. Keep ignoring reality and everything will be dandy...you know, until it's not.

I'll keep waiting for a source on that Maury and Jerry Springer accusation.

Also, it should be said that the police provide minimal help in these neighborhoods other than ensuring that black and latino youth are either scared to come out or behind bars. I'm sure that it's totally their fault that their skin color isn't white and also their fault that they have lived lives in which they didn't have the same opportunities as their middle and upper-class counterparts. Try walking out the door with a target on your head for the simple reason that your skin color isn't the same as those that largely make and enforce the law.

Oh, your precious tax dollars. Perhaps you wouldn't be so worried about your tax dollars if your politicians and administrators weren't throwing them away at private interests who work in junction to ensure that these neighborhoods remain distraught, creating a perfect environment for future felons (or shall I say, customers for the GEO group, CCA, and ALEC).
