Not every teenager/young adult is built the same. For the people in their mid 20s+ in here, what % of teenagers do you remember doing their own thing? Forget people in the hood, I went to a rich white kid high school, and all those kids were doing morally corrupt @#$@ non stop. I saw kids from well off families get caught up in the heavy drug scene within a year of joining.
I also don't think people are straight up excusing or condoning anything. The topic was clearly about whether someone who was involved in crime as a youth should be given a chance to make changes and become a positive person as an adult, and then you got dudes coming in here and basically saying Nipsey deserved to die.

Balance. We need to teach more compassion and care. 1 luv but keeping G at the same time. Laugh, love and break bread.
Too much elite thinking clouds our minds bruh.. Too much of anything is bad. Too much food-obesity, too much confidence-narcissism, too much money-greed,..etc..

Let me show you how a part of the west coast dealt with the Black problem post slavery... tell me about boot straps here..
The second exclusion law was enacted by the Territorial Legislature on September 21, 1849. This law specified that “it shall not be lawful for any negro or mulatto to enter into, or reside” in Oregon, with exceptions made for those who were already in the territory. The law targeted African American seamen who might be tempted to jump ship. The preamble to the law addressed a concern that African Americans might “intermix with Indians, instilling into their minds feelings of hostility toward the white race.'' The law was rescinded in 1854.

Bootstraps, right?
Black Defendants Get Longer Sentences From Republican-Appointed Judges, Study Finds
“Republican-appointed judges sentence black defendants to three more months than similar nonblacks and female defendants to two fewer months than similar males compared with Democratic-appointed judges,” the study found, adding, “These differences cannot be explained by other judge characteristics and grow substantially larger when judges are granted more discretion.”

The school systems have done an injustice to the whole country though its lies, the cover ups of its own historical racism. Cat's got degrees in stuff, but still don't know jack. This country was never built for Black people to survive. The few that slip through, is just for the look, just to show immigrants that America isn't as bad as the bad slaves say that it is.

Do you know how hard it is to find someone old enough to have had parents that were slaves?

Fools really chose a thread about the death of a dude that did tons of activism in his community to fight against the systemic forces that help push young black men down dangerous paths, to peddle some culture of poverty, pick yourselves up by the bootstraps nonsense.

It’s crazy seeing pics of Compton, Boyle Heights Huntington Park and Inglewood from the 1940’s. Places were white as can be. I don’t know the reason for the demographic switch. Assuming white flight following ww2, but looking at those old pics is a trip
