>> This country has failed the young black males in Chicago and Detroit and Cleveland. Their stats are beyond disturbing. And frankly, I don't know what the solution is.

The solutions aren't that complicated, but you'd never understand them.

The first thing you have to do is to end the welfare state, which supplies money to the neighborhoods and allows dope dealers to have markets and enables 19-year old males to get by without working. As long as our government continues to flood these areas with taxpayer dollars, we are enabling the behavior that leaves them with nothing to do but engage in gang violence.

The first thing we should never have done is created a Constitution that permitted slavery. The second thing we shouldn't have done is allowed the level of institutionalized discrimination that existed in this country until 50 years ago. And the third thing we shouldn't have done is let the South keep blacks in abject poverty forcing them to migrate en mass to northern cities. The 4th thing we shouldn't have done is created public housing projects that looked like jails and stuck them in there. The 5th thing we shouldn't have done is urban and freeway renewal aka Negro renewal, decimating what little neighborhoods blacks had. The 6th thing we shouldn't have done is allowed the incredible proliferation of guns in this country.

And now, dude, the solutions are extremely complicated and will take 1-2 generations to unravel if we find the right solutions.
