2. 0:03recently the head of the black lives
3. 0:06matter chapter in new york his name is
4. 0:07hawk newsom made an assertion he said
5. 0:11poverty causes crime
6. 0:14and the problem is is that crime
7. 0:17is caused by poverty
8. 0:20what
9. 0:21you can't be serious man you cannot be
10. 0:24serious
11. 0:25in my first book the 10 things you can't
12. 0:27say in america i talked about crime you
13. 0:30know in 1960s
14. 0:32the area of california had the greatest
15. 0:34amount of crime
16. 0:35was an area that had
17. 0:38the lowest income
18. 0:40the highest unemployment rate
19. 0:42the highest proportion of families with
20. 0:43incomes under 4 000 a year the least
21. 0:47educational attainment the highest
22. 0:50tuberculosis rate and the highest
23. 0:52proportion of substandard housing you
24. 0:54know what area that was in california it
25. 0:57was right outside san francisco called
26. 0:59chinatown yet in the entire penal system
27. 1:02of the whole state of california there
28. 1:04were five people of chinese ancestry
29. 1:08behind bars i repeat five people of
30. 1:12chinese ancestry behind bars if poverty
31. 1:15causes crime it should have been full
32. 1:18of chinese americans
33. 1:19and there are many more problems with mr
34. 1:21newsome's assertion
35. 1:23take the 30s during the great depression
36. 1:26or the 40s or the 50s
37. 1:28when black poverty was high and
38. 1:30discrimination against blacks was high
39. 1:33in 1940 87 percent of blacks live below
40. 1:37the federally defined level of poverty
41. 1:39yet in the 1930s black homicide went
42. 1:42down the 1940s black homicide went down
43. 1:461950s black homicide went down you know
44. 1:49when it increased about 89 percent
45. 1:52the 1960s when lyndon johnson with the
46. 1:55best of intentions launched what he
47. 1:57called the war on poverty suddenly the
48. 2:00percentage of black kids being born into
49. 2:02the world without a father married to
50. 2:04the mother skyrocketed and as i've said
51. 2:06many times before
52. 2:08don't take elders word for it take
53. 2:10barack obama's word for it
54. 2:12the statistics that children who grow up
55. 2:14with a father are five times
56. 2:17more likely to live in poverty and
57. 2:19commit crime
58. 2:21they're nine times more likely to drop
59. 2:23out of school
60. 2:2420 times
61. 2:26more likely to end up in prison
62. 2:28mr newsome ought to be asking this
63. 2:30simple question why have we gone from
64. 2:32having 25 of blacks born outside of
65. 2:35wedlock in 1965 when lyndon johnson
66. 2:37launched his war to 70 today you cannot
67. 2:41blame that on poverty
68. 2:43here's another problem
69. 2:44the people who can least afford the
70. 2:48crime are the very people that people
71. 2:50like hawk newsom purports to care about
72. 2:53this is an article from the late great
73. 2:55economist walter williams it's called
74. 2:58unappreciated crime costs crime imposes
75. 3:02a hefty tax on the people who can least
76. 3:05afford it he's referring to the
77. 3:07law-abiding residents of black
78. 3:08neighborhoods because a lot of
79. 3:11businesses don't go into the inner city
80. 3:13because of crime because of theft
81. 3:15residents bear the time and the cost of
82. 3:17going outside their community do the
83. 3:19shopping quote the true villains are the
84. 3:22criminals who make some businesses
85. 3:24unprofitable by the way he writes these
86. 3:26are equal opportunity criminals
87. 3:29they will victimize a black-owned
88. 3:30business just said they would victimize
89. 3:32a white-owned business remember some of
90. 3:35the riots during the summers the
91. 3:37mostly peaceful riots victimizing black
92. 3:40businesses owner adrian alvarez and her
93. 3:42husband compelled to come to their
94. 3:44orange theory fitness franchise in the
95. 3:45early hours of sunday morning we weren't
96. 3:47necessarily trying to defend the
97. 3:49business but we wanted to go clean up we

102. 4:00johnston's reaction to this they broke
103. 4:02down like i said our gate that we had
104. 4:04this front door glass was smashed was
105. 4:06glass all over this floor it was just

152. 5:55walter williams continues in low crime
153. 5:57areas fedex ups and other delivery
154. 6:00companies routinely leave packages
155. 6:02containing valuable merchandise on the
156. 6:05doorstep if nobody's home that saves the
157. 6:07expense of re-delivery and saves
158. 6:09recipients the expense of having to go
159. 6:11and pick up the packages however in high
160. 6:14crime neighborhoods delivery companies
161. 6:16leaving packages at the door or
162. 6:18supermarkets leaving goods outside
163. 6:20unattended would be equivalent he writes
164. 6:23to economic suicide fearing robberies
165. 6:27taxi drivers including black drivers
166. 6:30often refuse to accept telephone calls
167. 6:32for home pickups and frequently passed
168. 6:35prospective black customers who hail
169. 6:37them on the street again
170. 6:39black cabbage and i've talked to them in
171. 6:40new york often will not pick up black
172. 6:43would-be riders because they fear crime
173. 6:46and they fear going to a neighborhood
174. 6:48where they can't get a affair back to
175. 6:50the area where they first were so for
176. 6:53all these reasons a lot of black cabbies
177. 6:56are not picking up prospective black
178. 6:57customers nothing to do with racism and
179. 7:00nothing to do with poverty walter
180. 7:02williams also writes about another
181. 7:04unappreciated cost
182. 7:06of crime
183. 7:07and that's home values
184. 7:09homes where there's a lot of crime will
185. 7:12appreciate less rapidly than homes where
186. 7:14there's no crime or will even face
187. 7:16depreciation and then when there's
188. 7:19people moving in middle class and upper
189. 7:21class moving in you have people like
190. 7:22spike lee condemning this
