Did cats from Chicago come down to DC to steal iPads?
, I suggested Mother and Son violence? Once again, please comb through my post once again, instead of trying to marginalize my message to something I never said. 
At the heart of some of America's most complex crisis are discussions being had reshaping our paradigm about how we see things. My mans suggest us taking back our communities, is it the correct answer? Maybe not, but it does engender discussion as to how we can solve issues that are plaguing our communities today. We think of the Black Panther party and they're pledge towards improving our communities back in the 60's - 70's, at the core of their existence was a comprehensive plan aimed towards social welfare, and polictal empowerment. What were the Black Panther party? An organized Militia, in addition to an unconventional approach to a highly complex problem the time.
...but all you see Mother vs. Son violence.
I never said it was. I guess i didn't transition smoothly. They didn't let me hang out with gang members AND they didn't like low income folks.... Not necessarily because they were poor or black but because of the "this is life. this is all we know. why you wanna better yourself? You a sellout.." attitude that comes with it. poor people and poor mindsets will poison your children's future and the community. if white people ever discovered that they don't really hate black people... but that they hate the culture of poverty maybe they would try to be more inclusive rather than exclusive and some problems would get solved. but they'd rather watch bill o'rielly and blame the victims
Thank you.
Like I said in my first post. Parents are the most important part of this equation. Without them.. nothing changes. But what's going to be the catalyst for parental involvement? You need to understand why parents are not engaged. you can't just cross gentrification off the list of reasons we see this happening.
