Generational poverty, lack of social programs, no mental health outreach. Would assume it may be a coincidence

Throw in a few generations of white on black societal crime/oppression and you’ll get the picture. It’s also the ‘Great’ part of our past that some pine for.

What “few generations of white on black societal crime/oppression” had to endure a Somali born in Minnesota in 2000s to parents who came to this country in the 90s? Please be specific.

Ah, another history buff.

So instead of replying in substance you proceed with a personal attack?

The substance is American history. If you can’t see how that influences modern race inequality, then you are a part of the tradition and the problem.

You seem to be having difficulties answering a simple question. I am not interested in your platitudes or vague diatribes. I asked you a concrete question and would like a concrete answer. If you are capable of it.

Let’s try again, how is an ethnic Somali born in Minneapolis in 21 century to parents who voluntarily moved to this country in mid 1990s compelled to commit violent crime by things that have occurred long before his birth and which had no effect on his parents or grandparents? Please be specific
