Ricky Smiley says “get the hoodlums out” of our community

[EBK String]

How about raising boys that are not your sons to be men of integrity through community involvement?

This won’t fix itself we have to all step up.

And hiw will we do that while working multiple bullshyt jobs trying to make ends meet and supporting our own families?

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

People need a lane into jobs that pay enough to buy a home and support families. But manufacturing is not coming back anytime soon and education isn't going to improve either.

IMO one thing we can do right now is address the music. kids are getting teardrop tattoos on their faces now because of these rappers; Gang culture, including the violence, is normalized now .

 

[Sterling Archer]

Facts, every other other group can bytch about the government and call on the gov to do more to enact change, but black folks who are the worst off are always told to fend for ourselves all the while being marginalized

Black people ask police to stop killing us and these nikkas walk off the job.
That should tell you everything you need to know.

 

[EBK String]

Maybe nothing, not snitching hasn’t solved anything either.

If black people don't snitch how is it millions of black men have been to prison? You nikkas just say shyt.

You do you mean when you say this specifically? Are you talking about neighborhood watch?

You know who the criminals are, you know who the at risk youth are.

If the corner nikka gets to him before you, who could be a positive influence, whose fault is that? More black men can take it on themselves to become mentors, especially if you know there's no man in the house. It doesn't take a whole lot, a few men can coordinate and work one block at a time. People always act like you need multimillion dollar organizations.

If the wait is gonna be on white people to act right, a lot more people gonna die.

an hour a week is going to overcome concentrated poverty, school to prison pipeline and the decimation of the family structure?

Hard to do when black men are getting targeted for prison slavery and have no money because of economic racism.

all facts

white supremacy doesn't stop you from having decency esp for your own people

Black people who are attacking the system can't do it while they are under siege at home. Get on code or get the fukk out.

Exactly. get on code or get the fukk out of the way. All skin folk ain’t my kinfolk and that goes for these self hating killer c00ns.

It’s better than no time at all

back in the day much more men stepped up

 

[Jekyll]

You can both fight white supremacy and address problems within your own community. I promise you can.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Again black men are already the most incarcerated group on Earth. Where are they going to go that they aren't already going? unless you are talking about mass extermination

when your fukkery is getting innocent people and esp kids hurt and killed. Nope, fukk dem nikkaz

fukk DEM nikkaZ.

Now locking nikkaz up for decades and shyt over non violent crimes, which far too many brothers are in the joint for, is another story. That's some bullshyt on another level.

But this shyt? Nah.

I'm really tired of this narrative ...

White supremacy is the reason we have crime in our communities

you have to heal the wound and deal with the infection 1st before u get rid of the fever

Both can be right though
