4. I woke up early this morning and made the mistake of listening on Tune IN - Lots of whitesplaining to a black man

JFC. I lived in NYC during " Giuliani time" - the times that people love to quote as proof that over policing black neighborhoods solves crime. Joe quoted this time during his whitesplaining. Its BS.
You know what else happened during that time? Bill Clinton. A better economy. More jobs. New businesses. I went to college during that time as a young single mother because of programs in place to pay for daycare while I went to college. Many others took advantage of programs to go back to school. Less opportunity, less jobs, = more poverty = more crime. Eddie is not wrong. Sending more police is not the answer.
