Quote:Well, the stop and frisk policy in New York comes to mind as far as certain groups being stopped for no good reason other than the color of thier skin.  There are studies that show that there is racial profiling done by police.  And I'm tellin' ya, if you started pullin' over & searching white kids (18-27) at random, the amount of drup busts in that demographic would also increase.

 

You're right though, it's a very complex issue.  The idea of rehabilitating communities starts with the youth in those communities.  They need better schools, better opportunities, better outcomes.  They need investment in thier communities as well, in terms of economic investment.  This may be something that takes several generations to correct, hell it took several generations to devolve into what we have here.
