    Obviously Paris isn’t going to have a large black population as say Atlanta. But they have diverse demographics there compared to some rural towns in France I bet. The

    It’s no different than you bringing up a large city in California.

    You let a Parisian tell it, their country is overrun with black Africans now.

    That’s not actually a result of America being progressive, large cities will have diverse populations anywhere because a labor pool is needed to extract from. We can go to any city and find higher demographic diversity than non urban areas

    America writ large experiences this because it has a hold on the financial sector of many countries, so it is more economically stable for those who can afford to leave to migrate else out the global south. Usually their government is weak and not able to be strong and independent being tied down by IMF loans.

    Or their country was ravaged by war and they fled and started anew.

    Again, not unique to America and not even precisely for the good reasons you think.

    Whether good or bad, the degree of how many different people from different walks of like you can encounter in a major city is imo uniquely American. I grew up in Uptown, Chicago, probably one of if not the most diverse neighborhoods in the city. It’s been going through intense gentrification these last couple years unfortunately, but growing up you had poor people of all ethnicities, religions, and nationalities in that neighborhood. Poor white kids, poor black kids, poor Vietnamese kids, poor Pakistani kids, poor Korean kids, poor Ghanaian kids, poor Nigerian kids, poor Ethiopian kids, poor Indian kids etc. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the most diverse neighborhood in the city. Idk too many other places across the world that you’ll find that. Even in America to that degree.

    It’s even crazier because Chicago, to this day is still a heavily segregated city by design.

    This would be like making robbery illegal but then have no legal way for a person to make money

    Its correcting a "problem" that has no solution

    I also was shown that perspective in college classes

    basically the narrative that it was the people rising up together bolstered by social media

    Ok so keeping our homeless in a cycle of penal slavery is the better option than leaving them to rot on the street

    And there is truly nothing more we can desire or fight for other than the two options fed to us by the rickety old hands of some segregationist crackers

    just take a step back and think abt what ur doing

    all dude said was he doesn't want lil kids to have to walk through a field of dope fiends to get home from school. normal human reaction.

    why is ur response to imply dude is pro-slavery?

    How can you argue that we shouldn’t demonize normal people and then incorrectly characterize all homeless people as vagrants who are endangering children. The very fact you think about the kids and not the people who are literally suffering on the streets shows how much you’re dehumanizing them.

    Most homeless Americans have full time jobs and support entire families; homeless Americans are also 12 times more likely to be subject to violence than housed Americans, and all Americans are 5x as likely to experience assault from person they know than any stranger. A majority of homeless Americans do NOT struggle with substance abuse either.

    So if you say “we have to keep these people ‘off the streets’ (read: in prison) to keep our kids safe” you are the one who is antagonizing the normal individual who’s position in life is so s***ty that even a full time job can’t house them. that issue will then only become worse when their homelessness is criminalized and they’re thrown in prison then become felons who can’t make jobs anymore

    Once again, the guy above said that criminalizing homelessness and forcing all those people along with the massive amount of working class homeless people was the better option than “having kids see people shoot up on the street”

    Which is such an ignorant statement that there’s no point in defending it. The normal human reaction shouldn’t be “we need to jail them.”

    Please go and read the post dude

    Bro literally said penal slavery isn’t okay but it’s better than kids being forced to face the fact that there’s a homeless epidemic

    And I’m sure he’s posting an obtuse and disingenuous representation of the homeless population to justify that response
