    METHOD TO THE MADNESS

    Lets see for as far as I can remember,most of America’s inner city communities have always suffered from some sort of “Plague”.In the 60′s & 70′s it was the Heroin epidemic,which caused serious addiction & death from overdoses.This went on until a certain element of America’s society started to be effected by this “Plague”.Which led to solutions & action to address the problem.Then there was the 80′s and the epidemic of Crack Cocaine & the HIV virus.This caused major damage to most of Americas inner-city communities of color.This drug left families in shambles,also the increase of the prison population.Violence & Death began to escalate,communities began to crumble.The HIV virus was spreading like a wild fire amongst those who were crack addicts,gay & bisexual.Crack addicted children were being born at a enormous rate,resulting with children growing up with mental issues. Today they are the parents of the troubled youth & young adults who are shooting each other down.The HIV virus was also being spread by intravenous drug use.Most of all once again the incarceration & death of African American males & females began to increase. Again it wasn’t until a certain element of Americas society began to be effected by this inner city “Plague”,were solutions & actions taken to prevent & stop it.Now there’s the 90′s to present day.Hold on a second,Drugs & Disease seem to have been the weapons used in inner city communities of Americas,which I believe was a form of “Genocide” to reduce the populations of color in the communities at large.Now where was I,oh yeah the 90′s to present day.”Gun Violence” the new and effective weapon,which is promoted by various sources.Guns readily available to youth & young adults for self inflicted Genocide.With no end insight to this “Plague” the death toll & prison population has grown a greater level as a result of this. That certain element of America’s society,that I mentioned before,is not being effected by this Plague.Is there a pattern here or is it just me? “Gone are the days of flooding the inner city neighborhoods with drugs to control the population.Just make guns available to those who have no value for life and are willing kill their own.This Method is working,the Madness is those who are largely effected by it are allowing to……NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!
