A love letter to the Chicago Hood

[Operator 1,927]

If drug sellers only had to depend on the black community to make money, they would have been out of business a long time ago.

Are you saying that the black community wasn't able to financially support the drug industry?

Hey Janelle, AJ is just joshing with you. Save your rage for the ones who earn it.

Why me?

Not if you are looking at the big money makers. Not many middle class and rich blacks take drugs. The poorer communities only support some marijuana and crack. They cannot afford the cocaine, meth and other big bangers.

The argument in a nutshell:

"We, the people living in the hood, lack economic opportunity so we turn to crime to pay the bills. Give us your money nicely so we don't have to make it selling drugs to your kids."

no way, completely off base. more like this:

Stop trying to fight fire with fire, and start fighting it with the water of access and opportunity. The violence is the symptom, but poverty is the disease. Attack it with quality schools, health care for bodies and minds, jobs that pay living wages, public transit, open libraries, community centers, and policing strategies that don’t involve brutality.

Why me?

Cause he knows we can take it. Trust me, you'll know the ones who have venom in their hearts.

You know AJ is pulling our legs, I didn't want to waste this on him.

Umm Hmm Crack is cocaine

Just saying

Your post might be one of the more racist on VJ

Not many middle class and rich blacks take drugs...Is that opposed to whites that do?

Is everything about race to you guys

Crack is not the same as cocaine. Similar but they are not the same.

And I didn't mention white people at all, you did. Just saying.

When white people come from a jacked up, dysfunctional place, they just leave and only come back to visit Family,

Writing a love letter never comes to mind.
