The country has failed them? Maybe the schools that passed them although illiterate. The courts that coddled them and the parents that never told them no. A welfare system that just keep spending on young girls who get pregnant so they can have their own apartment and watch what they want on TV etc etc etc

>> 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. These shootings stem primarily from drug violence -- easily more than half will have some drug involvement. You cannot stop drug abuse from the supply side, as we know. But you CAN control demand if buyers have no access to money. The essence is this: The most important solution to the violence problem is to end the drug problem. The most important solution to the drug problem is to stop enabling the behavior by giving the users money; stopping the enablement serves the dual purpose of taking away the money and requiring the users to work instead of to spend their time doing productive things. Pretty straightforward, if you can grasp it.
