No Mr. President, we do not need to invest more money into the infrastructure.
We’ve put tons of money into ‘education, job training, etc.’ and while I agree we have to stop the pipeline of school to prison...we have to stop treating this whole community of people as victims.
Lincoln didn’t free the slaves to treat them as victims. He freed them in recognition of their God given Rights as human beings. He freed them to let them pursue their happiness, not victimization.
Yeas ago a teacher said to me, “You don’t have to live this way.” Those simple straight forward words, along with a trust in God, have made all the difference.
No Mr. President, the right words for right now are to tell the youth of urban communities, they and they alone have the ability to choose their path in life. Free them from this foul ideology of victimhood. What holds them back from taking advantage of the opportunities in front of them isn’t a lack of investment, it is the lack of having their own American Dream.
