So find a way, or make excuses and languish in the 'hood.

That is one broad brush you like to paint with Drover.

That doesn't even make any sense. Painting with a broad brush requires actually making a characterization. Such as assuming people in the 'hood lack the industriousness to figure a way out.

Well, you are the one stating that anybody that wants to make it out can. They will 'figure it out' I believe is the way you stated it.

So yes, it does make sense.

"Anyone who wants to make it out can" is not painting with a broad brush. It's a statement about a specific sub-group, which is pretty much the opposite of a broad brush. Making excuses for the whole lot, on the other hand, is painting with a broad brush.

Here's the video of the kid being killed in Roseland.

Out of all the fools fighting, the innocent one had to die.

errgghh
..and people wonder why Chicago is segregated. Who the hell wants to be around this level of collosal ignorance?

As Muhammad Ali said at a speech he gave while in exile from Boxing during the late 60s, "the problem is not in the PLACE, it is in the PEOPLE. The PEOPLE make the ghetto." This is a prime example.

This comes as Obama is going to ask that the Olympics be held in Chicago. Maybe he'll introduce some new events like "dodge bullet" or "2x4 head slam".

How ridiculous do you sound. What do you find comical about a subset of people that are so incredibly angry and oppressed that all they can do is kill each other. How sad that you can sit up high and make judgement without having solutions.
