But the fact that these agencies are NOT putting these trucks in White neighborhoods is even more reason to work internally to see what can be done to keep people out of prison.
I think in many conversations, for some reason it always goes back to the White population.
Examples:
Person A: "50% of Black gay men have HIV/AIDS. That's concerning - what can we do to.."
Person B: "HOL UP! What about the White gay men? Let's talk about THEM!"
Person A: "Normalization of crime and materialism through hip-hop is something that clearly affects Blacks the most. I'm wondering wha..."
Person B: "HOL THE FUCK UP! What about White people doe?! They shoot up schools and stuff!"
Person A: "There's not enough Black businesses. We need more money circulating in our community if we want to reall..."
Person B: "Now HOL UP. I dunno a way to tie this to White people but Imma find a damn way. Just shut up and gimme a minute".
I get it, but these trucks are being thrown into Black communities. What's causing people in this neighborhood to take the bait and what can be done to stop it is I what I feel should be top priority for discussion.
I mean the story is out we are very disenfranchised but only a criminal mind would seek this truck out in truth
and if you cant wait till they kill wait till they steal
i mean i can understand need
ur shoes are run down and has holes in them
yeah steal some damn shoes
u hungry steal some damn food
urbaby is outta pampers
steal em
there is a difference from survival and criminality eventhough they can be the same things
like u said and other ppul have said their are services out here for these needs and if you dont seek them out or use or resources that isnt a licesnce to rob a truck of its high end goodies
this isnt the only bait or sting operation
its just one you know about via instagram or whatever
ppul get caught up in being bougie and maintaining some sort of lifestyle
my friends say oh no i cant stay at a shelter
or oh no i cannot ride the bus i need a ride everywhere
theres no justification for them squatting in someone elses home or stealing a car
