We have weapons of mass destruction in our hood , drugs , ak-47's, AIDS, poverty, why wont bush hlp the ghetto

a day to day battle , let the animals wipe themselves out

by the way i am a white man with a minimum wage job trying to raise a family in a poor white neihborhood for some reason everyone assumes it was a black question

Because you don't have oil, money, or political power. Politics have become a brotherhood of the wealthy and powerful and have little to do with the actual good of the people.

Just like the police are supposed to be "to serve and protect", we are all breaking down into "gangs" if you think about it....

The ultimate answer must come from within.

Your community needs to find a way to believe in itsself and produce solutions to your own problems.

Or you can take over all of the foreign aid charities or benifactors...just kidding.

Ask yourself this...why are there so many different organizations willing to help foriegn interests and not domestic ones? Why are the stars adopting overseas????

Why won't the ghetto help itself?

I totally agree with maribeth....People need to learn how to help themselves

Are there huge oil reserves in your ghetto? Well, there you go.

WMDs? Is someone in your hood cooking up some Sarin? Or making a nuke?

Drugs & AK-47s I'll grant, but WMDs? Let's not be ridiculous.

because the white man in charge is known not to help black people in the struggle.

well it all happens when people dont start feeling safe and they get weapons and then they start joining gangs

Bush didn't mess up the ghetto. You did. You did it by glorifying pimps, killers and drug pushers.

The wealthy and powerful only help each other. They can't fix what's always been our human plight because no-body has the answers. We have to do it on our own and forget the politicians. Starts with your neighbor, and love and peace grows, on and on until it engulfs an entire neighborhood. Esier said than done. We need new ideas. Politicians are still using old solutions which have time and again proven to be useless in the long run. Rome fell for the exact same reasons all great civilizations fall. The US is being bombarded on every front and will , like all other great countrise before it, disappear. You can se it happen every day. It is decaying from within due to politicians and their EGOs and ourselves for not standing up for ourselves and neighbors.

Because Al Sharpton and Jessa Jackson, your victimhood pimps are taking all of the money and paying off their mistress whores. Take it up with them and that lunatic Shabazz. Maybe if you got rid of them, some of that money would actually make it to your communities.

He wants the poor to stay poor and kill each other. that way the rich get richer.

kanye west answered your question!

Why can't hoodies quit looking for a freebie? Get off your crack asses, get off food stamps, and get a J-O-B.

You don't want the goverment in this because then you would have a marshal law thing like in iraqgoing on in the "ghetto" the best thing is to break the cycle example:
don't sell drugs or use them no supply no demand
no drugs no need for heavy weapons
no drugs no wild gangbangs no aids
no drugs people would go to work. what i mean is everyone wants to get paid alot right now. you can't make a grand a day at a mill or plant or store clerk. that is the answer break the cycle of something for nothing

The ghetto doesn't have oil under it, right?......If it did he'd just do what they always do...move everybody out and raze the community....let his buddies take OUR resources and then sell it back to us - gaining amazing profit.

I already see people saying that it is because the white man is trying to keep a black man down, when the person asking the question stated he is WHITE so stop with the racial angle.

I think you need to address your question to the politicians you voted for. The politicians I voted for don't want to contribute any additional tax money for this purpose. Funny all the Kerry supporters coming back to Bush for help. You have to be with the winning team to get the benefits. How politics works. Who gets what where and how?

George W. Bush claims to want to help the poor, but it's not true. He's always been about making the rich richer. There's not really much you can do, though. Unless you've suddenly gotten a fantastic job to where you can move out.

Alright, I bashed Bush a bit, but really there's not much he can do. No matter where you are, there's going to be drugs. Maybe not as many dealing, but they will always be near. If it's taken from one place, it will move to the next. It's like a cancer, it's too well developed to completely irradicate. (I think I deserve some applause because I thought up all of that and I'm only 14 years old)

Dude, the ghetto is the ghetto. It's not because of the damn president, so grow the hell up. It's because of the people IN THE GHETTO. I was raised poor, but I'm not poor now, and I didn't have to sell crack or whatever to do it. It's up to YOU to work, to improve your situation, and eventually get the hell out of the poverty cycle - and it's not Bush's fault if you haven't yet figured that out.

I wonder - What exactly do you expect the president to do? Are you old enough to remember all the failed government projects in the 70's? All the things Carter thought would "help the ghetto"?
