And so THIS is why we still need DEI...

Quote:So, no, he didn’t call kids in urban sectors "born criminals"

Yes he did. I quoted it once and I'll quote it again. He's talking about kids brought up in urban housing areas--"in 2 years, in 10 years, they'll be hardcore criminals. They're born to be criminals." This is simply a dog whistle for the racist concept of the black "super predator".

"We took many people off the streets in Washington, DC. They’re hard core. They’re not going to be good in 10, in 20 years, in two years. They’re going to be criminals — they were born to be criminals, frankly, and they’re tough and mean, and they’ll cut your throat, and they won’t even think about it the next day. They won’t even remember that they did it. And we’re not going to have those people. Washington, DC is now a safe zone."

Off the streets (arrested). He's talking about hard core criminals.

Right moron. He WAS talking about urban children, just not all of them. The pronoun "all" is crucial here. And in fact he was talking about all urban children.

Illiterate shitbag. The context was adult criminals who had already been arrested. You know, specific people, judged by their individual actions. Hence not "all" of anything.

He's talking about urban kids who turn into hardcore criminals. Hence: "They’re not going to be good in 10, in 20 years, in two years. They’re going to be criminals — they were born to be criminals".

That whole statement is referring to being born and being young and then in 2 yrs, 10 yrs or 20 yrs becoming criminals. Simple English here. You don't talk about people who are already criminals becoming criminals over the years. You're talking about kids born in urban inner cities. Black kids. Hence the governor of Maryland's heated response. And no, Washington DC is not now a "SafeZone" by any stretch. lol

Illiterate shitbag. He's obviously saying that such bad, career criminals will still be criminals 2-20 years from now. They are not rehabilitating, as they are repeat offenders.

"Born to be criminals"..meaning they weren't criminals originally, when they were kids growing up in the urban sectors. It's the whole racist and debunked myth of the black super predator summoned back up from the 90's, which you can Google on your own. I'm not here to fill in your abysmal historical ignorance.

Apparently you're ignorant of all the risk factors for criminality, many of which obviously existing in anyone who becomes a habitual, career criminal.
With enough risk factors, it would be increasingly difficult to avoid a life of crime, at some point nigh impossible.

Pretty sure the one predictor for becoming a criminal ISN'T being born in urban sectors. But hell, if the FOO (fat orange overlord) says so, then who are we to argue?
