"Many - if not most - of the residents of inner city slum areas were raised by single mothers who had them very young without the means to support them. They turned to drugs and gangs. They never graduated high school. In short, they never had a chance. There is not much the government can do to fix this. " Here are some things the government could do to help fix this. 1. Stop locking up black men at a rate higher then white men and higher than any other country locks up its citizens. 2. Provide free or subsidized daycare and pre-k like most rich modern countries do. 3. Build trust with minority communities by listening to them and supporting them, not using policies like stop and frisk which alienates them. 4. Provide free/subsidized health and family planning services instead of doing tings like trying to defund planned parenthood. 5. Stop being so fucking racist.
