Eliminate poverty and bad education at the very least. Keeping unemployment relatively low is a necessity as well.
you nikkas still believe it’s about poverty/education? 
And no, I’m not saying anyone is inherently violent. So I don’t want to be quoted with people putting words in my mouth.

Sometimes we have these conversations and comments like this feel like people don't really think of causes and solutions or maybe it's just frustration.
Poverty/Education have huge part to play alongside other issues but it is layered and humans are complex.
Real conversations about how we as Black people can navigate having to deal with the criminal and dangerous members of society and avoid the cycle turning into a permanent underclass are needed but...
I think this thread and line of thinking can go down a slippery slope if we aren't careful. Not saying you or anyone in particular but it very quickly turn classist and almost eugenic like. Why are you talking about Eliminating Black men? Why are we ignoring the very clear barriers to attainment that our Men face?
Acknowledging this does not negate our own personal accountabilities or that we need to make strong cultural changes either.
Another point to support your comment.

Low (reported) income =/= poverty.
I hate that stance. These folks have A/C, transportation, stable shelter, telecommunications (phone/social media), not starving and have adequate clothing.

Idk if
Ja morant is a gah damn pookie. Zion Williams got pookie tendencies
Hell umar got pookie behaviors with him having two b*stard kids, one with a stripper
Idk if it’s entirely related to poverty. Some pookies got money but still act like a damn fool…boosie, nba young boy, king von, ja morant… to me it’s more of a cultural thing.

I mean its worth a shot, isnt it? We’ve never really gone all in on the social services and education angle. If it doesnt work then we can go back to warehousing “pookies” in prisons and homeless shelters. But i suspect that giving “pookies” resources will help
In my family we have a “pookie” character out in San Diego and im not even kidding when i say that his life changed dramatically once he found himself a Red headed PAWG. He mooched resources off of her for a few months and came out that relationship talking about starting bussinesses and sht. Now imagine if breh had some education on top of all of that

What would be your solution?

I have a “pookie” in my family. He wasn’t economically, or educationally disadvantaged. Dude is just a smart-dumb knucklehead that’s always just trying to get over, under or around something or someone.
This nikka was all state in basketball as a junior had offers from big 10, big 12 schools and dropped out of school a month into his senior year.
Won’t get a job at a pizza place because it’s “beneath” him.
