There's approximately 1 million gang members in the US, 34% of which are black=340k, there are approximately 30k gun deaths per year, subtract accidental deaths and suicides=12k, so if each gang banger killed 1 person 12k people out of a population of 43 million black people.

Blacks commit 36% of the violent crime in the US but make up only 13% of the population. Blacks in England commit crimes at nearly 3 times the rate of their population rate. Why do blacks commit violent crimes at such a high rate?

Those actually killing other people, that doesn't account for repeat offenders, and mass shootings in drive-bys. So out of .5% a small percentage of that are violent criminals and a smaller amount are murders racking up bodies like navy seals. So your 13%=53% is a racist stat.

Blaming an entire population for the acts of a few degenerate individuals and trying to explain it away as a genetic disorder is akin to Leonardo DiCaprio in Django explaining how inferior black people are genetically. These issues are a combination of education and economic.

In order to solve the problem, try actually providing a solution by fixing education (school freedom) and economic opportunity (career opportunities, entrepreneur opportunities, trades) in order to keep fathers in homes. One of the first things black men do when economically...

stable is to be fathers and husband's. Example:

and many more. Opportunity brings economic success, that economic success brings generational change.

Talking points about fatherless homes and criminality as if black people need to be "told about ourselves" without providing a solution is exactly why we're not even an option. That tone is not taken with any other population we as conservatives try to reach.

Why? Because condescending to someone seldom inspires faith in our desire to help solve the problem. Furthermore, talking points like "Low taxation, deregulation, pro 2A, pro-life, etc" mean nothing without further explanation of what it actually looks like and it's impact.

There are many local community organizations nationwide trying to tackle gang violence, education and job opportunities which we conservatives should link up with and help, NOT with the motivation of getting a vote but solving the problem.

First, the federal government cannot make policy that can undo decades of local policy that destroys communities. We as conservatives should promote conscious hip-hop culture as a counter to the popular media narrative of thug-life culture.

Some of the very same people who are politically liberal exhibit socially conservative home values in regard to faith and day to day interaction.

The media took many of the productive black family shows off the air like Family Matters, The Jeffersons, The Cosbys and The Wayans Brothers. Recently some have reappeared focusing on family values but we disagree with them politically.

I see these cultural conservative shows as an opportunity in addition to the rise in school choice support and 2A support in the black community. If we recognize what is already present that we can work on together, then we can move the ball forward.

The music industry has had no problem pushing music that glorified black men killing other black men and prison culture, but that same industry does not promote white people killing other white people. Guess what, the music industry is not run by conservatives social or political

I spent time today at a vigil for a young black man with a promising future that had been shot recently in Manchester, NH. I was there with

and we were listening to a crowd of young adults and kids hurting and crying out for an end to gang violence in the city.

Despite the low crime rate of New Hampshire overall, Manchester has seen a spike in crime and gang activity. At the same time crime is rising, educational outcomes are dropping in the city, drug use and homelessness are rising as well.

I do feel the need to repeat that overall the state is doing great, which means local policy is setting up these kids for failure. This young man wasn't a gang member or criminal.

The average conservative is ready to reach out and solve these issues when presented with this reasoning and understanding of how to look at the issue and provide real solutions. The Party is entirely different, many federal and state representatives I've explained it to get it.

A message of inspiration in congruence with real solutions explained in depth will always yield better results than chastising people.

Local perception is what drives generalizations and stereotypes. Local perception is what drives narratives regarding a "white supremacist criminal justice system" as well. Living in a situation where things seem more prevalent leads to assumptions that they are in actuality.

LET ME BE COMPLETELY CLEAR, I AM A LONG LONG CONSERVATIVE!!!!! I'm running for office as a republican, conservative governance is conservation of the constitution, the republic and the unalienable rights of individuals to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The closest Republicans you can attach my method to is Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Thomas Sowell. I'm blunt and I don't tap dance for anyone.

Yes, I voted for Trump twice and unapologetically. No, I don't rock with Biden or democrat politicians and pundits. No, I don't rock universally with republican politicians and pundits. I don't agree or disagree with anyone universally. I'm an individual.

No, black people are NOT all ignorant, thugs, poor, uneducated, democrats, liberal and we don't need to be less black. No, white people are NOT all racist, bigoted, white supremacists, conservative, republicans, rich and do not need to be less white. America is not racist!!!

The blind worship of Barrack Obama or Donald Trump is the definition of fanboy politics. They are just men, NOT gods. Politicians are people and get things wrong, I don't defend positions, tactics or strategies I disagree with.
