Ask Rudi. He cleaned up New York between left administrations that increase it.

One of the more powerful tools that took down the gun violence was “stop and frisk”. We all are happy with it getting on an Airplane or into a Federal building. But somehow it was made not OK in crime ridden illegal gun violence neighborhoods.

“ The violent crime rate dropped by 56 percent during the eight years he served as mayor. Murder, down nearly two-thirds. Robbery, down 67 percent. Aggravated assault, down 28 percent.”

Instead Biden invites the families of OD’d criminals to dinner at the White House.

Besides the esteemed Dr. Carson, check out the lives of Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell. These two men came up from poverty in the era before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, yet they succeeded beyond anyone's expectations.

Another problem that has a relatively simple solution, and has been propagated by Drs. Williams and Sowell is the following for young black men:

Graduate from high school.
Get a job and establish ones self financially.
THEN get married and have children.

The largest number of these problems arises because of the lack of the nuclear family. Yes, there are exceptions, but the primary cause is the lack of parenting by either a father or mother, preferably both.

This question was asked on the internet:
Why do black men shoot other black men in the inner cities, and these are the many reasons:

• Unemployed or stuck in a low wage hard work job where his contributions are unrecognized
• Lives with his mother and has little control over his home environment
• Has a child but no custody and a bad relationship with his baby mama
• Been profiled and harassed by the police
• Observes community members driving nice cars
• Rejected for better jobs
• Feels unable to change his life status and is insignificant in the world
• Seeks to overcome feelings of impotence
• Often immature,
• lacking self-identity
• Little life happiness
• thrill seeker often brags and talks about his toughness and ‘hood status.
• Wants to make a real name for himself
• Will recklessly escalate a situation
• Too often black men suffer an inferiority complex.
• Society vilifies and criminalizes black men on a daily basis.
• American culture is based upon the notion that black people and specifically black men are less intelligent, completely unpredictable, beast like, lazy etc., etc.
• Black men internalize this notion and are conditioned to see little value when they look in the mirror.
• Beset by internal angst and torment.
• Unresolved pain combined with poverty, ignorance, oppression, violent police, violent neighborhoods, etc.
• The symptoms of an inferiority complex include a high sensitivity to criticism, perceiving others as a threat, jealousy, a lack of dreams.

The daily feeling of isolation, powerlessness and impotence is like being a prisoner of war. One reason black men grab their genitals is to stress their vitality. Men who have been literally stripped of the ability to display their manhood – great jobs, big houses, educational attainment and all the other accoutrements of modern society- are literally killing others to express their power in life.
