This is exactly the problem, it's not a race thing it's because of shitty drugthug culture. I would even hesitate to call this only a socioeconomic problem, because people from all walks of life can fall into that trap.

People see the 1% of the culture and assume that if they behave in the same manner they will also have a path to success, because let's face it, most people are inherently lazy unwilling to improve themselves. They turn to external sources to achieve for them rather than create value in themselves.

It's far more common in less wealthy communities because there is no support for your neighbor, it's a very "fuck you, I got mine" attitude that quickly changes to "He has it I deserve it", or "they have more so they can stand to lose more".

With very few social structures in place to deter the behavior and nothing encouraging or incentivizing the individual to become a productive member of society.

The solution isn't throwing money at the problem, it's building that social net and community so people have some place to turn when they need structure. That used to be the church, but a community run alternative would also be supremely beneficial to snuffing out that type of destructive culture.

Black culture before Great Society Act used to be cool! Business owners, jazz clubs etc. Pretty awesome.

Then Lyndon B Johnson passed Great Society act to pay mothers more if the father isn't in the home. I learned a lot from Candace Owens.

Every black person in America needs to see this.

In fact I'm gonna fire up my Twitter, and start dropping this on any black people I come across with TDS.

Just an FYI, while the sentiment is almost certainly true. That quote has never been verified. It's from a book published years after it was supposedly said.

Lebron is mentally challenged. Laura couldn't have been more right when she said shut up and dribble.

To be fair, those are probably the longest pants he can find.

End the social safety net.

In the old days, those who refused to work didn't eat. Education was the job of the family, not the government. Now they grow indignant and fat.

We gave them so much, but it will never be enough. Jesus warned against this in the "if you give a man a fish" story. They want more and will take what you worked hard to achieve because they believe you now owe it to them.

Their numbers have swelled because they able to reproduce even though they have and create nothing and are kept alive by medicine. They may now have 51% or more of the population...end game.

51% of murders. Not population.

Yep, it's the same reason we have the "homeless problem". It is 100% enabled, and the more it is enabled, the more homeless you will have. I recently red pilled a group of friends on this when they were discussing the homeless issue we have in our town and what to do about it. I asked them why the neighboring town of similar size and far lower economic status has essentially no homeless population while we have a plague of them. A couple of my friends got the correct answered immediately: "Because we cater to them."

Jesus gave people fish. He talked about giving your kid a snake instead of food. I may just be rusty but I'm not sure what you're referencing.

Don't throw your pearls before swine?

You can say its not a race thing, but you gotta look at the world. There are dirt poor white communities and dirt poor black communities in the US, they're not the same at all. Eastern Europe suffered under communism for generations, yet they are coming out strong. Meanwhile Africa suffered under colonialism, but the second that ended Africa began regressing to the fucking Bronze Age as fast as they could. Reality doesn't agree with your idealist assertion that this is not a race thing.

Poor white communities are safer than poor black communities. I know, because I lived in both.

It's safer to live and walkthrough a poor white community than a poor black community.

Meanwhile Africa suffered under colonialism

Is this actually true, though? I mean, sure, no one wants their territory to be occupied by foreigners. But the British actually improved things in their African colonies. And when they left, the colonies reverted to chaos.

That's a legit point. Colonialism brought food security, water security and sanitation. I worked in a post-colonial nation, and while the younger generation bought hard into the new nationalism, the older generation who actually fought the rid themselves of coloniamslm would very quietly and privately tell you that life was better under colonialism.

Meanwhile Africa suffered under colonialism

Who suffered Depended on who controlled the Colony. British and French Colonies excluding South Africa were comparatively better in regards to treatment of Natives. Other nations not so much. The Congo for example. Initially under control of Belgium’s monarch Leopold II via private entities was a humanitarian disaster. Forced Labor, Private Armies that terrorized and abused the natives at will.

Things improved when Belgium’s government directly annexed the Colony. But it still wasn’t a particularly great or Humane place.

I simply call it an IQ problem, you see it with whites too just not on a large scale. I can't imagine living in a country that was full of some of my lower IQ friends, i could see it turning into a stone age culture real quick if you put a few thousand 70iq people in the same region.

Now look at a map of it, and you will know why.

Overlay a map of GDP by nation on top of a map of avg IQ by nation.

Hint, they're the same.

I remember reading a story from a missionary to Africa. As soon as the missionaries left the African's ate the crops that weren't ready, then the seeds for the next season, then sold all the farming equipment they were given. Literally learned nothing, and no concept of preparing for the future. It sounds cruel, but the world really needs to allow Darwinism to run it's course.
