VIDEO: Bronx Man Gets Knocked Out, Then Robbed By Bystanders

@Mrs10 If you're interested in another big mover and shaker in the black community who offers real estate lessons on how to "buy back the block" to urban areas around the country, look up Jay Morrison. He's an up-and-coming real estate mogul, passing on his lessons to others like him that grew up in bad situations. His current mission is to rebuild Black Wall Street in Tulsa, OK. And he has a great shot at doing it.

@Mrs10 No worries, I don't get 100% bad vibes from you. You're one of the few on here who I honestly don't mind arguing/discussing with.

BLM does do plenty at the local level, but rarely is it covered in the news. The media jumped on them because it was sensational, and just as quickly, jumped off when they found nothing new to report on. But, BLM is not at all the most effective local tool for rebuilding black communities. I don't personally support BLM for my own reasons, but I do like how they have recently turned their attention to getting elected in local offices. All the protesting bullshit has gotten them nothing; someone finally learned that if you want to make changes, having a voice in the government is the way to go.

But much more importantly than BLM, and more direct to your question about addressing threats to black youth, there are community programs going on in all the areas that certain people love to bring up; Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, etc. But I'm certain no one here knows of programs in those cities where black tradesmen have been training the youth with skills like electrician, drywalling, paving, etc out of their own pockets and through donations. Those youth are starting to flip abandoned houses and sell them at very reasonable costs back to the neighborhood.

The reason this is not known and widely shared is to avoid raising attention of interlopers, and mainly the media. Specifically in and around Detroit, which for the most part the media has abandoned, they're going to have a field day when they realize that blacks, hispanics and muslims are working together on rebuilding certain sections on their own terms.

Here is a short article about a bunch of these programs that are flying under the radar. The house-flip training program is called Flip the Script, which also includes free suits from a neighborhood tailor for men and women to interview, job and skill rehabilitation for nonviolent ex-convicts and tradesman programs that will allow them to get jobs just about anywhere houses are being built:

I figured out the solution to getting rid of HCD. Annoy and badger him enough and he will block you. If I knew that's all it would take, I would have made more of an effort.

To punch a man who is walking down the road (even if there's bad blood between the two) is despicable. To step over/around his unconscious body and then to rob him is absolute deplorable. Hopefully they catch every single person on this video. And that they are shamed when this reaches social media. Every single person on here - the assaulter, the pickpockets, the passers-by should all be paying his medical bills. Of course, this is NYC, a liberal playground - they'll probably all be told to sin no more and the victim will be cited for jay-walking or loitering!

Hi_estComnDenomn said: @davidebrwn the serious answer is they finally learned that protesting isn't worth shit, and if you want to change things, you have to win public offices, which they have been doing. the non-serious answer is there is no police involvement. they protest police unjustly killing, not people getting knocked out.

@Hi_estComnDenomn Serious question about your non-serious answer. I honestly DO want to know the answer to this - not trying to bait you or just stir trouble. Does BLM, at a national or even local level, do any type of anti-violence/anti-crime campaigning to reduce black-on-black assaults/murders? A lot of us on here ask these questions but not quite so forthrightly or not always with respect so I'm posing them with both. Why does BLM (as a representative group with notoriety especially as anti-police) go again police but seemingly does NOT address one of the greatest threats to black youth, which is other black youth?

davidebrwn said: Where is BLM now? Why don't they care about this guy?

@davidebrwn His life doesn't really matter since it didn't involve white cops. Nor do the lives of any of the numerous non-white-cop-involved murders that happen on a daily/hourly basis.

@realDonaldTrump Is this what you had in mind with a block button? I got a script to work on my computer, but I haven't figured out how to get it to work on my phone yet. Thoughts?

@LEO0301 I know you will. I just wanted to see you say it. I've backed you into enough corners, and now that you've said it, there's no further need for us to interact. I'll block you now, take care Snowflake.

@Hi_estComnDenomn - awe, sweetie, are you feeling left out? I'll try to remember to use your moniker when whites commit crimes so you feel better about yourself. Nah, just kidding. I'll use the term whenever I personally feel it's appropriate.

@LEO0301 I'm not asking you to defend bad cops. I'm asking you to defend your definition. So you're saying lowest common denominator doesn't have to be black? Understood.

With that said, why haven't you referred to any of the numerous white mass shooters or cop killers as lowest common denominators before? I get it if you want to call bad people that in general, but you have only ever used it in a very specific sense.
