I cannot believe someone is actually suggesting that poverty is the reason for lawlessness and murdering your own people. I cannot believe someone would actually trivialize the plight in many depressed neighborhoods by comparing them to the Ozark mountains and other communities, and then in the same breath say it's more the government's responsibility than the annointed black leaders......The same skin-shade hustlers who do take the time to whip us into an emotional frenzy to vote Democrat on election day and claim to represent us, but remain silent on real-life problems like the Dawson family that gave their lives to rid their neighborhood of drug dealers!!!
Sorry, but even I have my breaking point! Mr. Lofton and I have literally spelled out what goes on in these neighborhoods and how people like the Dawson family are ignored when say...., a Jesse Jackson can shake down a beer company for supposed discrimination practices and end up with beer distributorships for his sons!!
Since you want answers from us, how about stopping all this "BS" about racial profiling and how unfair it is that so many young blacks are in prison!!
How about actually demanding that people start respecting the lives and property of others and start forming neighborhood associations that actually work with law enforcement to weed out the human debris instead of blaming their misdeeds on poverty!!
How about taking a stand against the negative messages of the pop culture/Hip Hop lifestlyes promoted in music, movies, and videos, and teaching our kids some moral values!! The NAACP is trying to woo young blacks through the Hip Hop music culture, thus rubber-stamping this self-destructive lifestyle.
And how about stop making excuses period!! How about owning up to the responsibilities of citizenship instead of sitting on your hands and expecting government to solve your problems!! the government is not some autonomous entity separate from us......The government
is us!!
Government only works when the citizens are involved. We saw an example of that with the capture of the sniper. In the end, it was a citizen who spotted the car at the rest stop.
But how many citizens spot criminal activity in these poor neighborhoods and look the other way???
How many John Williams or Darrell Brooks are running free because nobody will call annonymous tip lines to turn them in??
So cut the crap! The troubles in inner-city black neighborhoods can be addressed when people like the Dawson family decide that they can no longer sit back while Rome burns!! It's everybodys problem no matter where you live..., even those who live in the Ozarks!!
