CBSlocal ^ | May 16. 2014 | Wendy Tokuda

In the inner city, a health problem is making it harder for young people to learn. The Centers for Disease Control said 30 percent of inner city kids suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The CDC said these children often live in virtual war zones. Doctors at Harvard said they actually suffer from a more complex form of PTSD that some call “hood disease.”

Unlike soldiers, children in the inner city never leave the combat zone. They often experience trauma, repeatedly.

Oakland is a big commie ‘RAT utopia, isn’t it? How can this be possible? Those yoots should be the happiest yoots in the country!

I can see it. Kids who want to learn in school and succeed in life don't have much of a chance, living in combat conditions. The gov will just throw more money to the teachers and that's not the answer.

One would THINK that after all these years of communist control that Oaktown...aka Oakland would be an utter utopia.

The right communists haven’t been given the chance to run the place yet apparently.

Hood Disease...thats not even a very imaginative name.

The PTB don’t dare point to the real solution..given the current trend towards “separation of church and state”!

So what they are saying is because the parents are irresponsible from liberal programs that pay them to be irresponsible so they get more money, plopping out one baby after another to get that bigger welfare check then allowing those kids to stay up all hours of the night, joining gangs, robbing, killing, raping, generally running amok without any supervision, it’s not the parents fault or the fault of the liberal program. It’s because of hood disease, and of course the word “disease” is put in there so it qualifies as a disability. So in other words we have to pay to put out a fire while paying to start a fire.

The program is already in place. Look for many more youths signing up for Social Security Disability.

WORD!

More Studies will be required....as will the Tax Money to FUND THEM

Special Hood Disease Conferences will be held in all appropriate locations..

White People who have been beaten to a pulp for daring to walk or drive through the hood will doubtless be Ineligible for any FUNDING!

Were Barack Hussien Obama...The Magic Negro not the POTUS...this “disease” would never have been “discovered”

No excuse. Make an effort to clean out the trash using bait, stings or whatever it takes. Lock up every violent punk no matter what age and start with 10 year minimums.

No more coddling the thugs.
