I understand the anger you display in your posts now. I'm sorry the help you needed wasn't available.

What about those with autism?
We have it really bad.
Most people with mental illness can't hold down jobs or stay in a relationship.
That’s a good point. I think the unspoken assumption many people have is that crime rates are significantly higher for the black community - to the extent it even makes sense to consider Somalis interchangeable with Jamaicans - than for other communities. But we’ll never know because we can’t ask basic questions about the identities and backgrounds of criminals and victims. Discussing statistics about their ethnicity or family immigration history or single parent status would be considered unacceptable racism. And if we found that immigrants from country x and their descendants had a vastly higher crime rate than immigrants from country y, any suggestion that we limit immigration from the former would meet with hysterical denunciation. So...we form our opinions based on anecdote and here say because we’re denied serious data.When there is a mafia murder in Woodbridge or Hamilton nobody asks the Italian community what they are doing to stop the violence.
I wish I had one. But fixing shootings amongst our racialized youth isn't a spectator or amateur project. I hope the experts can do a better job than us, or certainly me. I'm from a different world compared to those two blocks south.So .... what is your solution?
