I really don’t care as much about the high murder rate of young black men as by young black men.

In New Orleans, 1 in.14 black.men will be murdered by the age of 35 at present rates. The converse is that roughly 1 in 14 black men will kill by that age. 7% of the black men are on the murderer track, 7% on the murdered track, and it’s actually higher because not everyone choosing the thug life kills or is killed, but the potential is there.

Likewise in Chicago. To speak of the young black men as victims is to ignore them as moral actors who.chose that life.

Our moral outrage belongs with the innocent victims, be they white, black, male, female, old, young.

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.
