Placing the blame on black vs. White opportunities in the usa may be accurate.

But here in Toronto its just not true.

I grew up in the poorest areas of the GTA. Ive witnessed black youth take advantage of the opportunities i should have.

Ive also watched black youths conpletely pass them up, as i have done, yet im not a criminal/ never ever been convicted or suspected of a crime.

I been paying taxes and working hard for over 10 yrs. They can so the same. Im not going to evwn get into how lazy some black people are.

Offseason discussion goes right to racism like clockwork

We are talkig about the states for the most part

also statistically speaking blacks live in worse neighbour hoods make up the bulk of the poor and tend to be poorer than the poor they are compared too.

Remeber you arent encountering racist cops, ei offices and teachers making it that much more challenging to take the little oppurtunity they have.

Im not saying there no fault on the gangs.

You cant just go kill people because your dad went to jail. Its wrong and its fucked. But if we keep saying thatts just the way those blacks are it wont stop.

There are systemic causes we could invest in solving and it would see a reduction in crime.

Whitey be keeping me down.

Also you can say there are similar opportunities because they have every capability to apply at the same places as you but if we're acknowledging racism, who do you think has a better chance making the short list - James Smith or LeQu'on Cabness?

I read it "fell off during the struggle" which sounds even more fishy.



Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin' with Pirus, only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street when gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!

Yeah I had read "fell off" as well but it sounded like they were never recording in the first place..

chicago is nothing but black on black crime

i havent heard of a riot or protest in forever either

they dont care about that

and what about the poor white kids that suffer the same fate in the south (mostly) and midwest?

and the mexican kids that get pulled out of school when their migrant family has to go to the next set of fields to pick

I didnt say crime is exclusive to blacks.... But non-whites are more disadvantaged then whites.

Not just due to current racism but due to the economic positions they were disproportionately put into by historic racism.

The Mexicans get to eat authentic Mexican food all the time. I have no sympathy.
