adding that there, with a "but" of contra-position, makes no senseThe drug war is bullshyt but inner cities in the 90's were reaching the point of noreturn.

it's a non-sequitur that equivocates and excuses the drug war that you are calling bullshyt
as if you are saying, "what else could they have done?"
As if the drug war was some sort of attempt to bring them back from the point of no return
when we all know it was not,
when one idea has little to do with the other
for one: crime was going down, when the drug war started
for two: drug war started before there was a drug epidemic in the black communities
The way to help the inner cities the inner cities then would have been through jobs programs (and not jail jobs), College programs, Safe Parks, safe libraries, good after school programs etc., ie the only way that has ever worked when trying to help struggling communities.

prove it and prove its relevanceI don't think you understand the economics of the situation.

irrelevant; but then again, where are you speaking from but retrospect?It's fun to talk about in retrospect though.
what difference would that make?What major metropolitan are did you grow up in the 70's ,80's, or 90's?

Because government statistics like poverty and unemployment rates do not include incarcerated people.

You just shytted on @tmonster and called dude an out of touch elitist liberalIf the city, state, and fed government don't have ample tax revenue how do you expect these programs to exist?
It's not just about drugs, its about violence, homelessness, the erosion of tax base, blighted neighborhoods and the list goes on.
If you don't have any experience with the state of things how can you judge them?
If I lived in suburbia or and affluent area how can appreciate how bad things were for the life of city people in this period? I honestly don't think someone can.
I frankly don't think an organic change would have resulted in the turnaround in affected communities that we currently have today. In NYC alone in the past the majority of neighborhoods were essentially slums.

what does that even mean? so what?Nikkas quickly forget it was the black community leaders pushing the hardest for it, crack era was![]()
