There are slightly more similarities with this situation and the Trayvon Martin incident as opposed to the Rittenhbouse comparison, but why is this comparison what you bring to the conversation? No thoughts on the case?
I thought it was an honest assessment of the argument I have seen in articles about how the squeegee work exists because these African-American youth lag in opportunity and employment due to systemic racism and a family structure fractured by slavery.
Right now there is real work for anyone who wants it. I certainly agree with a fractured family structure (though I don't necessarily track it back to slavery) - all the more reason to be frustrated with the blue team. That team has has tried to systematically dismantle the family unit for decades now. I written before and will say it again - among the African-American community I'd like to see a Manhattan Project on reestablishing family units and father figures. Well worth billions and billions in expenditure.
Ok, it looks like I was wrong. I looked through the articles and there was this, "Mayor Brandon Scott said the city would also send staff from the Mayor’s Office of African American Male Engagement, which is tasked with identifying the needs of and supporting young Black men, to squeegee intersections." But that is not representative of what I was claiming so I retract that statement.
Wait, what?
Who is saying this is excused by tracing its roots back to slavery?
Well tim basically did what you said.
You're likely to have a gun pulled on you if you did that. Maybe one of your windows broken or worse. Not smart to escalate things.
i think his post was in referencing the gun control thread. we good with property damage though. what service are these young guys providing that isn't free on my own volition?
