They have the freedom to choose and their choice is to loose . Shall our choices be forced upon them ?
It's all about the lack of family moral values among the black community that does not stress education and work. Instead they learn how to live on the public dole with welfare, medicaid, and section 8 housing while dealing drugs with guns on the side. Until the black community shows their young men the way to family moral values with work and education as the goal, nothing is gonna change and many of them will die or end up in prison the same as now.
"I'm about tapped out and a little short on sympathy for our brothers of color who still carelessly father children, pimp women and shoot each other."
Exactly. It isn't the rest of us that need to start caring to help, they themselves need to care before anything that is implemented can help.
First their parents have to ;;;care;;;.......then they have to ;;;;;care;;;;;;.
If Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was alive today and seen all what he fought for was being destroyed on a daily basis by his own people I could only imagine what he would say.
