Every decent person would save young black from the thug life if we could, but we don’t know how.

Actually, we do. Most of the crime and violence is driven by out-of-wedlock births by poor women. One factor is obviously welfare subsidies for being an out-of-wedlock mother.

But the main cause is that there are no marriageable young men, and the main cause of that is there are no jobs for "unskilled" young black men that pay enough to support a household. The same is increasingly true in former white working class areas, which is why you see the same phenomenon of high out-of-wedlock births, crime and drugs spreading to white areas as well.

What's the solution? Halt immigration and tariff imports to the point that more business must be done in the US to operate. Basically, raise the portion of national income going to labor back to what it was in the late 1960s, only this time with black males having an equal chance to share in it.

You know, Trump's policies.

I agree that welfare and the loss of good blue collar jobs wrecked the black family, but I don’t think the political will to reverse those trends exists, not among the powerful. Restarting factories wouldn’t be easy, we have lost so much know how, ie machinists. And if we did have the factories and the jobs open, do people brought up for three generations of resentment and dysfunction have it in them to go to work and marry?

Let’s start there but it is not going to be easy at any step. Hard to put broken things together again.

There are no marriageable young men because lower-class young women prefer exciting thugs to guys in stable, but low-income, jobs. Because welfare allows them to.

If young men saw that getting skilled and getting a job was the only way to have a woman date him, then they would be more likely to strive to get job skills.
