You want the government to provide you with a great life and save you from societies ills but you ALSO want the freedom to do whatever you want. Which is it?
It isn't and most black people aren't poor. In fact, the black poverty rate in NYC 20.5% and lower than that of some other groups: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table...ST5Y2020.S1701

I'm curious why people fall for these same tired narratives, knowing that they aren't true. I dare say, it is quite lazy(at the very least), when this information is available to anyone that wants to look.

BTW, nationally, it is 22.1%: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table...ST5Y2020.S1701 So, almost 4 out of 5 black people aren't in poverty according to the most recent Census data. Let alone considering the "working poor".

The problem is concentrated(key word) poverty.

So, it is now confirmed that the guy responsible is a Black nationalist who was spewing bizarre conspiracy theories about 9/11, Fidel Castro, White people, "We wuz kings", and the Supreme Court. The government should be pressured to re-classify this as a terrorist attack. B/c what else would you describe what happened?

Terrorist attack. The mental health narrative has already started in the media well before the terrorist has been caught.

Homeland Security recently stated domestic/white supremacy is the the country's biggest threat.......
They'll want this story gone asap just like the Wisconsin parade attack.

The Left loves to say only White people can be mass shooters but goes to great lengths to reclassify shootings by Blacks as ordinary street crime. This has led to Black comedians and media pundits saying dumb stuff like only white people can be mass shooters. Instead, Blacks are #2 in the list of perpetrators but only b/c Whites make up a greater % of the population.

Mark Simone [WOR] said in his first hour that, if it is designated a terrorist attack, the feds will take over, and the NYPD would rather handle it.

You have immediate and extended family, friends, etc. Maybe this is the cause for some of the mental illnesses...the isolation, loneliness, etc.

Not that I think the Feds would do a much better job, but this is not a local/ordinary street crime. This is clearly an act of (domestic) terrorism, but of course not the kind the democrats kick and scream about daily. So it will quickly get swept under the rug.

He condemned Bloods/Crips for killing each other and it's a good thing that they're killing each other.

He also spoke about climate change and natural resources being depleted.

He mostly seems to rant about Black people and his disgust, but somehow we got here?
His youtube stuff is actually fairly "mild" since apparently his more inflammatory videos were being taken down by youtube, so his stuff about killing, such as his "kill whitey" video and other racist memes was on his Facebook instead.

As far as I can understand his "philosophy" (to put it mildly, since the guy is clearly mentally not there), is that he thinks that black people like bloods and crips, etc are "n*gers" (his words) who participate in white people's society and bring all of the black people down, so they deserve what they get. He thinks they should die along with whites, Asians, and Hispanics. He is like extreme extreme black nationalist. The stuff about climate change, resources, Putin/Ukraine, prisons, Patriot act, Abu Ghraib prison, etc I think its just his paranoia. Probably aggravated by too much of news/social media watching.

This is a second black nationalist terrorist out of Wisconsin in the past year (remember that guy who ran over the parade). Must be something in the water there.
