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. None of which have anything to do with solving the problem. NOT ONE OF YOUR POINTS IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE PROBLEMS. They are Dave. The fact that you don't see it is the crux of the problem. As I said, you'd never understand it. What don't I understand?
