The Teen Early Warning System

... or TEWS, for short.

Dig this.

CHICAGO - A pressing issue for the Chicago Police Department and its incoming leadership is the downtown teen takeovers, as another gathering has been advertised on social media for this weekend.

But churches and community groups are now stepping up, in partnership with police, to curb the youth rioting.

Community organizations are now doing their part to help stop the teen takeovers that happened last weekend in Chicago.

A new idea on the table is an Amber Alert-like system to let parents know these gatherings are happening.

Those darn teens! Something's got to be done about them. But wait, something is being done.

Meanwhile, Chicago churches are coming together on Saturday – when another large teen gathering is planned – to walk Michigan Avenue. Their goal is to round up 500 men to send a message to the youth.

"Black men owe it to our younger counterparts to say this is not the way, and that we grew up in some of the same conditions, oftentimes, but again, for whatever reason, by the grace of God, we will be given alternatives and when we listened, we found out that our worth was not in violence and negative things," said Bishop Horace Smith, Apostolic Faith Church.

What's the half-life of a euphemism? It looks like those "teens" have more in common than just their age.

Murder victims in Chicago, by race.

Oh, right. That's what it is.

The previous mayor was black. The new mayor is black. There are blacks all throughout the power structure in Chicago. Every single alderman is a Democrat.

At some point in time, you need to realize that your foundational assumptions about the world are wrong. The critical race theory construct has failed its practical application test. You've gotten to the point where you can text "Chicago Kids" to 21000 and be subscribed to a black alert system so you get warnings when too many blacks gather in downtown Chicago. Thinking that's a solution while clinging to CRT is absolutely demented.

Bonus Take: The TEWS is fine if you have no fixed assets in the affected area, but what if you do have some, such as a store or a house? Do you secure your building and hide in a safe room?

If your worldview worked, it wouldn't be giving you results like this. Either the racists are right and segregation is the only answer or the traditional Christians are right and our current moral system is a trainwreck. The TEWS isn't a long-term answer to anything. In any case, the progressive model of reality is a joke.

According to statistics I recently saw, about 46% of all murders in the US occur in just 1% of the counties -- that is, in Democrat-run cities. And (if I recall correctly), something above 60% of all murders in the US occur in just 3% of the counties; again, generally Democrat-run cities.

And, as bad as the *old* (*) Democratic Party anti-black racism was, most black Americans still had better lives in those days than today.


(*) in contrast to the *new* Democratic Party anti-white racism
