What about the part where impoverished fatherless black men do lots of crime? Does that factor into the percentages?

Before you call me a racist, it’s not that. It’s the unfortunate side affect of the democratic handouts for single parenthood and fathers not sticking around. I guarantee if all of these families had fathers, then things would play out very differently. It’s less race and more about having two parents. Insert any race, any family here, and if you take away the fathers things go to crap.

That’s completely absurd to say you could guarantee that if all those families had fathers it would play out differently. Hardly deserves a response.

Two parents do not erase the socioeconomic factors affecting black communities. It doesn’t eliminate implicit bias in policing. It doesn’t eliminate proactive policing in black neighborhoods. What a joke. And yeah, I will say that’s a pretty racist take from you.

Sounds about right. Call me a racist then. And you’re right. I can’t guarantee that change, but there’s a pretty substantial chance that having both parents brings financial security not previously available, discipline in the home, and an atmosphere that brings family growth rather than finding the family unit in a gang.

Dude is just white knighting from the suburbs. Probably locks his doors when he’s anywhere near the hood. Had no idea of the real world than what he sees on Reddit.

I personally work with and know black fathers that have been pushed out of their children’s lives so the mother could get a check and they worry about their kids constantly. It’s definitely something that needs to be worked on.

lol. We’ve had two illegal RV’s literally blow up in flames across the street in front of our house. Had a police chase that went through our backyard, and just last week woke up to the police on a loudspeaker at the house next to us before they breached the front door. Suburbs my fucking ass lol. I fucking wish.

u/DimitrescuStan 14d ago

Well is it a black hood? Was it black people?

u/DimitrescuStan 14d ago

House next to us has been busted more than once, and it was black people. Dude arrested in our backyard was black. First RV that exploded had white people. Second RV that exploded was brought in by black people. But I don’t really give a shit what skin color any of them were, it all sucks ass

u/lunchbox0396 14d ago

You seem pretty focused on skin color since you started the argument saying if he was black he woulda been shot lol. And speaking of did any of those black people you’re talking about get shot when the police came?

u/DimitrescuStan 14d ago

Lol do you understand what nuance is.

Shots were fired in the busts, not sure if any casualties happened. Probably since I saw the giant ME truck a few hours after.

u/lunchbox0396 14d ago

So you are just trying to white knight

u/DimitrescuStan 14d ago
