:mindblown: the purpose of the show is to make muthafukkas think twice about stealing a car. As long as the show has been on it's amazing people still break in cars. There is no logic behind stealing a car.

You'd think that. But I bet half of these kids have never seen the show or heard about bait cars. Some probably just see it as a quick come up.

In response to the purpose, I challenge you to think about how many people watch this show and leave thinking only black people steal cars. Next time they see a person dressed with baggy jeans and a cap on the street they could associate that person with car theft.

Nevertheless, I do agree the show does try to scare people into thinking twice about stealing cars. But I feel there's a lot more going on. Just my opinion though :manny:.

I seen a white guy steal a car with his son on the show. Bottom line is nikkas have to be smarter as do Mexicans and any other dumb muthafukka that want to steal somebody shyt. It's just that nikkas and Mexicans are the easiest ones to get with this shyt because their neighborhood teaches them this shyt is ok. Drop off a bait car at an HBCU and I doubt you get the same reaction. It's not about race as much as it's about morals and education. I have no remorse for a car thief, now if they were stealing food in order to survive then that's different.

I do agree with your point about education and morals. These kids need guidance - whether from teachers, siblings or parents.

But again I have to bring up white collar criminals. Why don't we ever see bait shows about them? Who are the people who usually do white collar crimes? They can steal money and hurt many people in the process - pretty much the same as a car thief. What about their morals, why aren't they displayed and shamed? I believe based on these points there is a larger agenda behind these shows. Your only seeing one type of body being criminalized, and it's a racialized one.

To solve these problems we need to go beyond blaming the kids. We need to educate the parents, give the kids viable jobs and education opportunities. Otherwise we just keep saying it's their fault and nothing is being done :manny:.

:to: i was hoping one of those nikkas would come around and be like :whoa: lets rethink how this affects our community type shyt

Not ONE kid showed a capacity to think critically....:to:

No sign of critical thought, empathy for the person they were stealing from, a sense of a moral code, common fukking sense, civic duty, a sense of pride....nothing. Just "I want everything"....:snoop: You'll end up with nothing you fukking brat.

If Black America is going to be "saved" we are going to need some serious changes....changes that I don't feel we have it in us to make. And when I say "us", I mean, blacks, whites, politicians, AMERICA.

We need more boarding schools.

We need year round education.

We need to start taking kids away from their fukking shytty parents before they become infected by this shytty, immoral, thoughtless attitude.

We need more fukking abortions...that's damn right I said it. I don't give a fukk about the ethical considerations either. They can put fukking morning-after pill dispensers in High School girls restrooms for all I care.

We could also use a creative/cultural revolution....I just mean the popular media that we consume. Hiphop/sports have failed us. Maybe it's time to give Tyrone a guitar or camcorder and make sure he actually uses them properly.

The real sad thing is that the women in that vid are or will be somebody's mother 1 day. The cycle is vicious brehs, teach the ignorant or put much distance between them and you.

Sheiiit...I'm willing to bet that there were at least half a dozen parents in this video ALREADY.

You'd think that. But I bet half of these kids have never seen the show or heard about bait cars. Some probably just see it as a quick come up.

As HARD as I am on these fukking hoodlums...I do agree with you on this.

The show is foul...even if it's honest.

The balance between truthfulness and social responsibility can be difficult to discern...but I can't imagine that a proud black person would cosign putting these images out there. If you're black...this show is putting you on blast, and I hate that, but that's just how it is. A black rocket scientist that works at NASA is, even if on a small level, being hurt by this shyt. Cac businessmen are don't give a fukk...it's just about money.

On an unrelated note...I find this type of police work to be extremely frustrating. Stop laying out carrots. Undercover narcs. Vice cops. Bait cars. All this shyt is counter-productive and by definition creates more crime.

I dunno...I do understand the logic, nab em under a scenario where you're in charge and in control without them knowing, be proactive, etc...but it's fukking demoralizing as shyt.

That's borderline entrapment. They took a car into the poorest area they could find with people who don't have shyt just to go after them for tearing it apart?:dahell: Kind of fukked up, imo.
