And once again you expose yourself as a judgmental, first class ***.
Poverty does indeed lead to crime...but it doesn't create it. I grew up poor as dirt. I didn't rob or steal. Millions grow up poor and aren't criminals. But poverty is a culprit and needs to be addressed. When I say stop the damned criminal activity, it entails fixing the problem of violence. And that is a multi-faceted problem. Jobs, poverty, eliminate welfare which has destroyed the black community, education. In order to stop the violence, many things need to be done. There's nothing religious about that. You want to make excuses for the black community. There are "some" to be made. But when you see millions of poor people who aren't criminal, the argument becomes a weak one. This is a fact - if the crime lowers so too will the encounters with the police. No arguing that.
And **** you and your stupid stereotypes AGAIN. Stop saying Conservatives don't want to solve and throwing out these baseless inaccurate statements. I don't live in a Conservative bubble. I work and live with the Right and the Left. You still refuse to acknowledge my personal work doing just this...trying to solve some of these problems on a personal level. My family has taken a young African American man under our wing for the past 5 years. Clothed him, bought his family furniture, paid medical bills, taken him to hospitals, fed him, have had him sleep hundreds of nights in our home, and are now helping this young man who just got himself incarcerated. I'll be visiting him Wednesday night at the detention center. My fellow coaches, one of whom is conservative, now houses a young African American man who lives with his white family. They did this to get him out of his cancerous environment, provide him proper family structure, and get him into a proper school. I saw the boy three weeks ago when we were all together. Amazing how a family unit can turn a young man's life around.
The problem is the culture. It's welfare. It's poverty. It's the lack of the family unit (70+% of African American kids being born to unwed mothers). It's a million things. And thank God there are people out there, like my friend and I, that bypass all this SJW bullshit, roll up our sleeves and actually work to help.
There are countless Conservatives around the country that help out daily. Studies show Conservatives are far more charitable with their personal time and money than Liberals. Look it up if you doubt.
But by all means, keep marching to the beat of your warped drum. Keep on living in this fantasy hate-filled world where HuffPo tells you Conservatives are racist and you repeat the thoughts like a parrot. Keep on making an *** out of yourself by repeating these baseless stereotypes.
