What could be done to curve the violence in black communities?

[Mdizzle9000]

its the rap music, which causes the brain damage

with the hippin and the hoppin and the bippin and the boppin

It starts at home with the family with love and belonging. If they don't have that, they have a "I don't care", "They don't care about me" mindset and they raise hell.

tough question

i think it might be the food we eat

that shit gives us high blood pressure which in turn causes bad attitudes which causes a nigga or female to snap which in turn causes a nigga to get his ass beat or get killed

its the fried chicken and kool aid

What about spoiled suburban black kids who try they hardest to be hood? What makes them violent?

vasectamies and tube tyings

Man I came out of a 2 parent household (pops was a mailman moms a school teacher) very afrocentric, took trips everywhere, gang of love, never was hungry we all got cars @ 16 and my baby brother still ended up being a thug and doing time, so it's the individual mindset couple with drugs, music and materialism

bill cosby in the simpsons right?

 

[aneed123]

raise kids right. put more money in the black community cuz socioeconomic status is a big factor. and hold the youth accountable for their fuck ups early

 

[ineedpussy]

i know the answer but i dont want people to take credit for my thoughts. and also

foodstamps

 

[Bwoahmizzee]

by getting to the roots of the problems

what are people fighting for? what are people dying over?

it's not a fluke that most of the crime happens where the poverty is

which brings us to why are people poor which in turn makes us look at the education system

 

[Darius]

oh i don't know maybe toughen up the court system so dudes with 11 mmisdemeanors and 2 felonies in the last 3 years aren't just walking around the streets.

 

[ineedpussy]

man yall make it so difficult. its easy to curve crime in black communities.

 

[Chef_Taylor]

these young fools now dont want peace they want beef

"What are some of the things they are doing in your neighborhoods to stop the violence? Maybe some of the ideas could serve as a useful tool in your community."

It's not up to "them" anymore. They've done all they could. It's up to the people that live in the low income n-hoods to do something. It starts with the parents and trickles down to the family, teachers and so on. It's about us holding each other accountable for our actions. It's amazing what people do when there's little to no consequences. We would need to up the ante on foolish behavior.

 

[Bwoahmizzee]

alot of these young niggas aren't looking at the future they are looking at the right now

everybody got something to die for but what are you willing to live for?

hmmmmmmmmmmm?

sig worthy

yeah I said it

 

[kzzl]

won't happen. just get outta that bitch alive and uncaged.

 

[Chef_Taylor]

sadly most black people hate to see another blk person come up...instead of giving props or appreciating what that person has worked for they talk down about them like they're better than everybody else. I can't stand those types of people.

 

[king hassan]

What cracks me up is the nigga living in shitty conditions but spend all his money on bullshit like clothes, a ragedy ass car with big ass rims and weed

 

[CollegeBoi12]

We need to hold each other accountable

Instead of pointing the finger at someone else (white people, other black folks) look at yourself and see what can you do to be part of the solution
