If blacks don't like the crime in THEIR neighborhood, THEY need to do something about it. If they want me to, Put me in charge and I'll be more than happy, but shit would get real in a hurry. If I am in charge, I have a very strict ZERO tolerance policy.
OK.

Edit: FTR, you didn’t specify “neighborhood” in your previous b.s., you said blacks, in general. I live in a neighborhood of military, active and retired. My immediate neighbors are black and we get along very well. They are not responsible for the knuckleheads in Miami or elsewhere.

WTF? Are you out denouncing bad white people? I’m not talking about on here but out doing what you think black people should be doing?

There are black people on the web and in the media, speaking up. But probably not devoting their lives to appeasing crazy white people that believe they are responsible for all blacks.

Do you know who Thomas Sowell is? How about the Hodge twins or Candice Owens? When you reach their level of denouncement of the current b.s., you’ll have my attention.

Business is down 80%

Mitch Novick, the owner of the Sherbrooke Hotel, said the city seems safer.
“The streets are depleted,” he said.
The city will close nine of its parking garages and all of the city’s parking lots beginning Thursday morning through Monday morning for the next two weekends
Between Thursday and Sunday, parking fees have tripled and public garages remained closed. The city plans to repeat these measures next weekend as well.
The city will close nine of its parking garages and all of the city’s parking lots beginning Thursday morning through Monday morning for the next two weekends

"It's an extreme example of trying to price people out of a market — what behavioral economists might call friction," said David Neal, founder of Catalyst Behavioral Sciences in Miami.

There are exemptions. According to the City of Miami Beach, residents and employees of nearby businesses will still be able to use the closed parking garages using 'proper identification.' The garages and lots will be open for the last two weekends in March but charge a flat $30. It's usually $2 an hour. And getting towed in South Beach for nonresidents will cost more than $500.
They will just go elsewhere, hope it's not here.

All four of those people are black. Candace Owens says things about "the black community" and people listen to her BECAUSE she is black. If I went public and said the same things, I would be treated as a vile, black-hating racist.

This is more or less Aero's point, there are things blacks can do to improve the "black experience in America" that whites simply can't.

Not only that but the good black people Dan mentions having experience with more than likely voted for, and will continue to support, the same political leaders perpetuating the problems that plague the black community.

Let me try to take another stab at getting you up to speed. If my neighbor three houses down is a KKK member and has rallies at his house, you're damn right I'm going to do what I can to run him off or shut it down. Might be covert, might be overt, but I'm not looking the other way. Same for a crack house.

Are you seeing any light here? Any notion of the message I am trying to convey? Does that make me responsible for every KKK house or every crack house? NO. I am telling you blacks in the hood don't think this way. BLM burning stores aren't the bad guy, crack dealer Demetrius isn't the bad guy. Somehow whitey and the Po-Po are the bad guys.

Yes, when I see news where some criminal is killed or arrested for their crime I am glad, I don't start talking about how he was turning his life around, I don't wonder what they looked like in their elementary picture.
Where are these "black people speaking up"? where? I have seen the people you mentioned so 4 black Americans ....out of 13% of the entire population population.
nice appempt, but 99% of black Americans will side based upon race.

Not necessarily. I play golf with a couple of black guys. Good human beings, family men, both have professional jobs and live in the suburbs raising their kids. They have decent game too. Both are Trump supporters. I'd put them in their late 50's - early 60's.

No doubt there are black Trump supporters. But a majority of the law-abiding good ones not only don't speak out against the problematic ones, but they still pull the lever for the Democrats in every election. If you enable the enablers, then you're at fault too.

I too have/had a few very decent black friends. Do to normal health reasons most are no longer with us.

Unfortunately good blacks many times consider themselves as a minority of a minority. This statement came out of discussions only very good friends can have.

Ok but there isn’t a requirement to do so because someone is black. And even if all the “good black people” mentioned how “the black community” could improve, it would never approach the leverage “free government money” exerts.

The problem isn’t “the black community”, it’s “the welfare community”. We’ve had over 60 years, nearly three generations, of government replacing natural selection. No shit things are getting worse.

Funny, I didn’t hear you speaking up when this dude murdered his own kids in my town.

Apparently “you side” with white parents murdering their own children? Shame on you.

Keep moving the goalposts, Sport. You’re starting to look like you know what you’re talking about. Go back and look at your initial posts, nothing in there about “three houses down”.
