@TheCockyWoods @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 You’re ignoring history and how it unfolded. Those who sold others were often captured themselves. Tribal wars, just like the conflicts among your own ancestors, led to murder, captivity, and slavery. Stop being ignorant. This is my final response.

@K3Ingram @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 I completely agree. In communities where over 400 people are murdered each month, the National Guard should step in to arrest criminals, similar to the approach taken by the Venezuelan government. My final comment.

@OfficialFBRpt @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 You clearly don’t understand Black communities. I don’t even vote, so elections aren’t the issue. Many poor Black people lack bank accounts, life insurance, and health insurance, yet will still spend money on $300 shoes. I’m done responding to your ignorance.

@ahb1311 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Where are your statistics and black people have historically been through more trauma than any other race no argument.

@Pewterschmi @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Obviously you haven’t….pull up the statistics on any continent, country, or city.Poor people with poor values result to criminal and/or violent behavior.

@antonanton50 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 It’s not about playing the victim. Claiming only Black Republicans succeed is misguided. Success depends on values, character, and financial literacy, not political party.

@wadade84793 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Please stop with the unfounded statistics. It’s long been known that Black communities have adapted to make the most of limited resources. The real issue arises when drugs and violence are introduced, pushing communities to a breaking point.

@maxfeynman @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 In poverty-stricken areas, survival often takes precedence over values. When you’re struggling to feed yourself or your family, it’s difficult to prioritize anything else. It’s a harsh reality many face, and addressing these conditions is key to breaking the cycle.

@Fluxzzii @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 You’re right….no single person can instantly solve a global or national problem. Change takes time, collective effort, and systemic shifts. Acknowledging the issue is a step, but it’s the sustained actions of many that lead to real change.

@TheCockyWoods @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 You’re right… those who profit from music and media control what gets promoted (non-black people), and the audience sustains it (non-black people). The real influence comes from those in power behind the scenes (non-black people).

@Martin99024813 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Exactly. Without proper guidance on how to act and react, individuals can resort to destructive behaviors. Poverty, illiteracy, and lost values create an environment where these actions become more common, further perpetuating the cycle.

@e49a762eab80469 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 You’re right; the Stanford Prison Experiment, Abu Ghraib, and various military instances show how environment can influence behavior. While it’s proven that certain conditions can lead to unethical actions, not everyone is influenced by them.

@Jarlofbwcshire @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Thanks, you just became dumb by responding.

@K3Ingram @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 I agree….. but, it’s not just about the shoes. The root issue is a lack of values and financial literacy, not merely having money to buy designer items. Many involved in street money lack the knowledge to manage it effectively, and gang culture exacerbates the problem.

@420kid0000 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 You’re right events since 1895 have shaped values, wealth, and lives. Despite rights being stripped and returned, judgment persists. Historically, Black Americans thrived more in some ways before segregation ended, despite racism.

@OfficialFBRpt @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Imagine committing crimes for $300 shoes while knowing no one with a bank account. Many can’t relate to that reality. Financial stability isn’t just about money, and handguns are often stolen or funneled into communities.

@ahb1311 @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 I’m not saying all poor people behave this way, but crime exists across all groups, not just among Black people. If you choose to believe otherwise, that’s your perspective.

@vileclo @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 It was more than just about shoes it was a gang feud that happened while they were buying shoes. But if you prefer that narrative, carry on.

@SeanHarwick @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 Can you provide evidence for that claim? Wealth alone doesn’t determine character values are crucial. However, survival often forces people to abandon those values when faced with desperate circumstances.

@amj_says @MKEBucks91 @qstyle_245 I agree with you. However, when fathers are forced out due to government assistance requirements or face unjust incarceration, it undermines the stability needed for two-parent households. Addressing these systemic barriers is crucial for meaningful change.
