What would happen if Umar Johnson's strategy was implemented FOR GOOD!!!!???

[KingFreeman]

When kids and even older folks physically see only certain detrimental avenues to getting success, clout, etc., they will follow them. If more kids knew that you can amass wealth by staying in school and getting certain degrees, or trades, and more importantly, can see role models like them doing the same, they follow that instead.

At this point, it's institutional and cultural. Large segments of the community aren't interested in real education from a young age, and it shows. You have 30, 40 year olds who never progress past the teenage stage because they literally have never personally seen, heard, or spoken to any quantity of black professionals.

Lots of amazing points made in this thread. Will respond to a bunch in a few

Criminals & drug dealers destroy the lives of a community

And yet criminals and drug dealers live in every community

I bet a lot of you live in a nice suburban area, have you been around drugs?

Speaking of drugs black people traditionally leave the harder stuff alone and it's the white boys who do what we called white boy drugs like coke, meth/etc. Lil Wayne paved the way for the youth of today (20s) to try more of that stuff out. Regardless, we have to handle our own affairs and it's possible if the community in question is committed to change. The hardest criminals in our community that are in prison often change once they practice Islam. So it's possible...

Crime in our communities would plummet if some of the older and more respected people took an approach of zero tolerance toward street hustling and illegal activities.

A lot of guys are in the positions they are in due to limited opportunities and if you could somehow give them the opportunity then “maybe” they would choose a different path. That would work for some….

There are others that it would not work for and you’d have a decision to make on them. Some of y’all are really saying you’d be cool with population control basically another form of eugenics.

Be careful because the same issues you want to filter out can be used to filter you out.

I hear you. It needs to be said that a lot of dudes made poor decisions in their youth that directly limited the opportunities available to them. Either by laughing their way through school or by taking shortcuts to earning quick cash & having a jail record.

 

[Premeditated]

the only people who would properly implement this are pro black ex military dudes

like a few hundred Mychal Johnson type.

you can't expect elders and regular black folks to all of a sudden have the balls do something they've of this magnitude they've never done in their life.
