Reply #134: "insensitivity"? Please tell me how recognizing that violent crime rates in the black community is [View All]

seven times that of the white community and most of it is black on black crime is insensitive?

How insensitive is my opinion that solutions pushed by white problem solvers for the "war on inner-city violent crime" are obviously not working and that black leaders need to take charge and white supporters follow for a change.

IMO, the most insensitive attitude is to fail to ignore my observations stated above on violent crime in inner cities and keep pushing the same old crime prevention programs that have never worked and show little promise of ever working.

To do otherwise would lend support to failed federal policies like Bush's failed war in Iraq as well as the subject war against violent crime in inner cities.

Note, a military commander uses different strategies and tactics for different combat engagements, e.g. ground assault on desert terrain with tanks versus unconventional guerrilla operations in the mountains of Afghanistan.

For that basic reason, it seems unlikely that law enforcement methods that are very effective in Cheyenne, Wyoming would work in Detroit, Michigan. Of course I could be wrong. :shrug:

My experience has convinced me if you can't solve a problem after using the same methods for several decades, then it's time to try something different which probably means putting someone else in charge of the project.

Of course that's my opinion and I see you and I disagree.

That's life in the Democratic party.
