Having a perfect white Alabama racist moment with Eddie Glaude on city safety.

(5,211 posts)I was so angry and kept waiting for normal voices to intervene. Im not an Eddie Glaude fan but Joe treated him poorly. And then he capped it off by calling him condescending to the citizens of Washington, followed by calling him my friend. No, Eddie, Joe is not your friend. I kept waiting for Eddie to leave.

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.

Yes, his racism emerges not infrequently. His refusal to let the Chicago mayor make clear in what context more police could be useful (community policing, etc, but only with concurrent efforts to deal with the social issues that are at an explosive level, including lack of housing, cost of food, and essentials, lack of opportunities)...
Yes, Eddie Glaud is a Princeton academic, but he is also a black man with prior experience, which infuriated Scab. So, that lived experience was not something the little disgusting Joe Scab was going to let him express.
Will Joe be part of MSNOW?
