These poor kids are just pawns in an evil game of Keep em stupid.

I had an interesting interaction yesterday.

I was pumping gas at a station in Baltimore. Two young men came running up to the pumps from the street and grabbed two window washing squeegies and headed back to the road.

Like an idiot, I called them out. They came back and seemed genuinely perplexed as to why it was wrong to take the property of the gas station that was there for customers to use. They wanted to wash windows on the street corners. I told them several times to put them back and go buy their own at the Home Depot down the street.

The concept of actually purchasing something seemed absolutely foreign.

Last night, the Police Commissioner was on TV whining about the crime problem among young black teens and telling parents to control their kids.

It’s a lost cause. My experience showed me (once again) that since urban kids have never been habilitated, they can not be rehabilitated.

Government makes a pitiful father.

The 8 years of Obama have devastated the Black Community.

Yes. As did the "Great Society", which destroyed the Black nuclear family.

Are you talking about forced busing? I seem to remember what a failure that concept was in the 70’s

“They are not going to get real solutions until they are willing to face up to the real problems.”

They can’t. To do so would be racist.

“Our public education system is real mess.”

By design.

The school’s motto? “Ignore the obvious.”

Those schools must be run by right wing racists.

Clearly. ;)

And they must also be homophobes, transgenderphobes, ad infinitum. /s

And scrolling down the page I found this gem:

PROJECT BALTIMORE: Illiterate at 66. This has been going on for the last 60 years - since the unions took over the teaching "industry" in the United States.

And who's in charge of the unions? DEMONcrats (communists and socialists), of course. Just keeping blacks ignorant and "on the plantation" like they did in the days of slavery. The difference - instead of making them work and providing them sustenance, the "slave masters" now let them sit on their asses and give them a check every month - all at the taxpayer's expense.

Spent a good part of my younger days trying to help lift kids out of the ghetto and it breaks your heart

I can only imagine how hard that must have been. These young men need fathers who are married to their mothers.

God Bless you for your efforts, FRiend. You will be rewarded in the afterlife, I believe.

I think it was the other way around where the whites were bused. This is the blacks bused from crappy schools to superior schools. It will work better this time around. White were sent to crappy schools which is why that didn’t work. This is opposite and will work.

Well, that was brave, cyclotic. :)

But you never know; perhaps your message sunk in and will change a life, or lives, for the better. You were doing the Lord's work.

All the best, FRiend. Julie

They need math to calculate the mark up and profit on their street drug business. Bet they can’t read cursive, either. They will be eligible to vote soon if they’re not in prison. Yet, black leaders like Jesse Jackson and the Black Caucus spend their time with slapping down whitey and demanding Trump’s impeachment. Third world politics never help their own.

I think Thomas Sowell said something to the effect that only in the wet dreams of a KKK Grand Wizard could millions of black children be held down economically to the level that Democrats hold them down.

But until the soccer moms start to care about these kids, nothing will change...so nothing will change.

Years of Democrat governing since “The Great Society” have devastated the black community and destroyed the black family core.

“Strangely Maryland is the number 1 state in Education in the entire United States so there are so incredibly great schools. Why not send some of the students to Montgomery and Anne Arundel or Howard country where the schools are top notch. Howard county is a phenomenal district and it is not that far from Baltimore. Surely they can do a better job helping these kids then the schools in Baltimore. Can you imagine how much higher Maryland would be if they could get rid of Baltimore? It would leave the rest of the states even further in the dust.

https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best-school-districts/s/maryland/

Get these kids out of Baltimore Schools and into one of the fantastic districts that are turning out the best of the best in America.”

LOL. And proceed to destroy those schools....

Do you think it would? I would think it would raise the kids up and not drag everyone else down. I guess I am naive on this matter. The problem is they have to do something to change this. They grow up and become a problem for police to deal with. One of the best ways to get kids out of crime and poverty is education. Nobody seems to come up with good answers. Perhaps we need to be bold and do something crazy.

The problem started at home. There’s no father figure. Mama brings in a new “uncle” every other week who beats the kids when he’s not servicing mama or getting high. By the time the school gets them, they’re nothing but rabid animals with no hope of ever changing. Any parent worth their beans would have packed up and moved out of the hell hole. No, I don’t want to hear, “but, but we can’t move!” Horse hockey. There’s government freebies all across the nation.
