“I’d say the reason the crack epidemic hit the black community first is because the black community is hugely invested in crime.”
Interesting post. A lot is said about the problems in slums, especially black ones. Is there a solution?
“Is there a solution?”
Sure. A massive culture change starting with doing away with permanent welfare and fatherless children. Blacks were doing great until LBJ’s “Great Society.” Their divorce rate was below that of whites. Their incarceration percentage mirrored their percentage of the overall population, about 17%. (It’s usually about 90% today.) When he signed the legislation and with MLK standing behind him LBJ said, “We’ll have these n***ers voting for us for the next hundred years.” So this decline was a Democratic party policy.
If you’re paying women to have babies and not be married that’s what you get.
Over 70% of black babies are born to a single mom. Time to fix that, and that is the solution.
