lets take it the other direction and look at it as a pathogen that needs wiping out.
Neither police issue nor health issue . . . it is a spiritual issue.
Was heroin really ever considered a ‘black drug’? I always that that was crack. Or maybe he’s going back before my time.
anarchists don’t care about your laws
Crime is a criminal issue, regardless of what these criminals tell us.
don’t have police, or let police handle crimes (brutalize people were his words).
Just have American gubmint give people jobs, that will solve the root problem of systemic inequality.
blah blah blah.
“You must invest in people, you must give people jobs.”
$20 to $25 trillion and counting. How much “investment” is enough?
I never had a job “given” to me. I worked my tail off getting an education, learning skills, entering an industry at the bottom, and mastering that industry so I was a solid contributor. Job offers come from such skills. Jobs aren’t just “evening” away.
the people didn’t invest in themselves
They pissed away their time that was supposed to be used studying and learning
they pissed it away because THEY AND THEIR PEERS said that would be “acting white”
they instead wasted their educational years on sex, rap, hip hop, cars, games, bling, guns, and being pissed the world wasn’t handing them everything they wanted, and they learned to start blaming everyone else for their failings and inadequacies and why they feel those inner bad feelings like they can’t do anything, realizing they are dumb because they cant hide it that they pissed away their time to learn and now they are going to be behind others for a very long time
Who has the Black population been sucking up to and VOTING for, for the last 50 years?? Did the Black Population Really Believe they were all going to get FREE Everything?? How come the VAST MAJORITY of the Democrat Parenthood Abortion Centers are placed By Democrats in Black Neighborhoods??
And what happens when the person is given a job and they refuse to accept it?
Does Newsome think the pimp or drug dealer is going to give up their lucrative enterprise for a menial job?
>>Look at the causes of why people are committing crimes. They are desperate. They’re poor. They’re undereducated
They’re uneducated because urban blacks view education as “acting white”. Because of that they live off welfare and crime. The rest of us can’t solve Black problems. No amount of money is going to fix them.
>The same way we looked at heroin addiction when it was only black people as ‘tough on drugs, war on crime.’ We have — and when it became white people, we looked at it as a public health crisis, as something that needs to be treated.
Dion was on heroin in the early 60s
So was Dr. John
So was Dee Dee Ramone
white rock stars were dying on it by the late 60s and early 70s
Man with the Golden Arm starred Frank Sinatra as a junkie musician and was made in the 50s.
I don’t know when William S. Burroughs started shooting up but one of his earliest books was Junkie and was published as a paperback in the 1950s.
I’m sure there were WWII vets who came back addicted or who self-medicated after PTSD etc.
So his history is false.
Opiods are killing upwards of 100,000 a year in America including rock stars like Prince and Tom Petty.
But somehow it’s racist to point out that drugs are bad, m’kay.
Jobs are for suckers.
‘it is a spiritual issue’
The problem is that the only morals that many black and whites have is: anything goes so long as you don’t get caught.
The crime is getting caught.
Black people also have a problem with the government overstepping its bounds. The biggest manifestation of that is policing. (end quote)
Black people are libertarians? Why they keep voting for politicians with the promise of most gubmint hand-outs?
LOL - they are desperate, they are poor. LOL
Those are true because of the black culture that you refuse to change. Black culture disdains education and puts tremendous negative peer pressure on any black child who is even attempting to get an education.
Black culture values single mothers with many children from different dead-beat sperm donors who then do absolutely nothing to raise their children. Blacks culture endorses gansterism. Black culture endorses the crime culture. Black culture endorses immorality. Black culture endorses the drug scene. If blacks are poor and desperate, it is their own fault.
I’m pretty sure it isn’t a health issue until the bullet hole appears...
>>>> You look at how this country is beholden to corporations and people feel betrayed. <<<<
Mr. Newsome sprinkles a bit of truth into his thinking, yet he proposes strange stratagem that “if US ‘doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system’”.
They are not going to follow the established routes within the system, they are making demands that we are required to meet right away, or else there will be “otherwise...” threats.
It is a moral issue. Read the ten commandments.
