As a result, violence, deaths, diseases, drugs, robbery, out-of-wed-lock births were at a all time high for black from the late 50's to early 90's. The police aren't doing their jobs and you know why. This is how all these damn stereotypes began.
True story. Earlier this year, while I was in a liqiuor store, there was a drug dealer screaming and yelling to himself because he misplace his drugs that he was going to sell that day inside the liqiuor store. He started to question himself how could have he lost his own drugs. Well, he had to point the finger at somebody, so he pointed the finger at some other drug dealers. So, the all the drug dealers started arguing over $100 worth of drugs for about 40 minutes to an hour. I went to another store to get some food because I knew a gun battle would break out soon. About half way home, I heard several gunshots. When I got home, there were about 10 swat cars sorounding off the liqiuor store. Now, someone called the police WHEN the drug dealers were arguing, but the police never arrived. Almost an hour of arguing and no police. Unforateuly, the drug dealers got away....somehow. The next day, someone else was selling drugs in that liqiuor store. Who's to blame for this? The police or the city?
Personally, dog fighting is a form of savagery compared to someone selling drugs to a crackhead or a random person on the street. The person that's buying the drugs made a choice to purchase the drugs in order to get a high or "buzz". The drug dealer is doing his/her job by supplying the drugs to inividuals that want drugs. After all, the person that chooses to be a drug dealer made their choice to be a loser in life. Blackwisdom, God created humans and he gave us to power to make important choices in life, whether they are right or wrong. But we learn from our mistakes. However, some of us do learn and there are those that don't learn at all.
If people want to stop the flow of drugs in their commiuties, they have to stand up and fight for want should be theirs. Complaining and bitchy isn't going to solve anything. If a person wants to overcome the pressures of the ghetto, that person must be strong minded enough to rise above than want is being offer to him/her from the ghetto.
Thanks.
