Why do you think I don't understand? I even pointed out what you just said in this very thread.
I just typed and deleted a couple of thousand words about why reparations isn't the answer but this issue wasn't over 159 years ago. Honestly, I don't think anyone who thinks that's the time frame can be reached.
You have a Masters. Try and figure out why there's so much crime in the black community.
If I misunderstood your post, I apologize.
I could lay it out in thousands of words, or I can give you a quick run down in five words
1.
Crumbling families. Inner city has a serious issue of not having fathers and mothers live with each other and those same fathers and mothers have children with others creating a fucked yo web of family with no stability. Because of this fucked yo family structure, kids seek out a second family in the form of
gangs, which are violent criminal orgs.
2.
Poor education. Shitty school systems with shittier students that have no support at home or someone making them do homework.
3. Due to crumbling family with only one income(or none) and lack of education,
Poverty is a huge driving factor in crime.
4.
Generational trauma. Due to growing up poor in crime ridden shitholes with everyday violence, poor family structure, life has little meaning and being desensitized to violence makes one more likely to use it. A
culture of crime sprouts from this fertile earth.
5.
Untreated mental illness. Due to all of the above factors, mental illness and criminals go hand in hand. I’m not talking about schizophrenia or something like that, but the generational trauma causes depression and anxiety, and when untreated, creates a volatile mix with fertile ground for criminal undertakings.
6. Bonus.
Lack of options. Due to poor education, generational trauma making one a tough fit for the working world, and growing up poor in a broken family unit, the option of working in Walmart for $9/hour or selling drugs for $1000/day/week, the risks seem worth it. However, to protect your profits and drug turf, you and your gang have to use violence to protect what’s yours and attack your enemies in an endless cycle of violence
Note: this doesn’t just apply to black people, but white and Hispanic as well. Also, this took me five mins to think up and type. I could go into great detail with stats and everything else like I was writing a response to one of my masters’ tests, but that does take a good bit of time and probably, you’re the only one that would read it
