Truth. It can stop if we get rid of the gangsters in the ghettos with their illegal guns. We don’t need more cops, just higher rent and taxes to price you out of your dwellings and force you to leave since you refuse to get an education and find jobs.

Man it's like you just hate people and thinking.

If you deprive people from a legal means of housing and feeding themselves, they will house and feed themselves in less legal ways.

Why is it so expensive to live in a city like Nashville?

The same reason it's expensive to live anywhere in the U.S. now. Corporations own all the property.

Or some of you will realize that you need to get an education and a job and help the others learn. The ones that don’t learn should be sent to a remote part of Alaska and provided survival manuals that they need to figure out how to use to build a civil society. Their will be sentries ala Escape from LA/NY and these criminals can either choose to live in peace or chaos. Drones will televise for entertainment.

Oh yeah it's so easy to get an education right? That's like free right? Be quiet with your psycho rambling, go to Alaska yourself.

Ever hear of public primary and high school. It’s free. You just need to make the kids show up so that they don’t end up being criminals.

Yeah sure every school is equally well funded enough to stop kids from doing crimes. Crimes never occurr at schools.

Communities should have cultures that value education and shame kids for trashing the school. This doesn’t happen in other non-ghetto areas. Kids just go to school and learn like civilized people.

This doesn’t happen in other non-ghetto areas.

Except in the suburbs where kids are homeschooled the "Christian" way. But I guess it's okay with them. Can't imagine white it's different to you.

I know someone who was homeschooled atheist and became a doctor. Not sure what your point is. The parents cared about their education and raised them well.

Oh, well that definitely means all that unregulated anti-science Christian homeschooling prepares kids for the real world. There is also a huge problem with abuse and neglect in homeschooling. But they're suburban and white so somehow it's different.

There are problems with anything. I’m not saying that’s the answer for everyone, but it’s better a lot of times than having disengaged parents. On the positive part of that spectrum, I’ve seen a fairly dumb kid, who was getting in with the wrong crowd be pulled from school by his parents and homeschooled such that he is now a doctor.

I showed you a link that talks about the giant problem of abuse and neglect in homeschool and your response is "there are problems with anything?"

And then you said-

I’m not saying that’s the answer for everyone, but it’s better a lot of times than having disengaged parents.

Which makes you think you didn't even look at the link. The whole point is that lots of homeschoolers do have disengaged parents.

In most states, homeschooling is entirely unregulated. I have no idea why you think it's a good solution for any but a very small number of children. Your anecdotal example doesn't change that.

My point is that engaged parents work. Homeschooling aside. Your seem fixated on that, but it wasn’t the main topic. You are diverting the conversation with a false dichotomy.

"you need to get an education"

Maybe you should listen to your own recommendations first before commenting

What a witty remark? I have an MBA and am more qualified to talk about socioeconomic circumstances than most. I’m done though with allowing people to play the systemic oppression card. At some point, people need to work on improving their culture from anti-education and anti-work to pro-education and driven. Black people want to make it all about their oppression, but my people went through the same bullshit including a holocaust and came here with nothing. They weren’t allowed in anyone’s clubs and were barred from many neighborhoods, but we valued education and hard work.
