It seems to me that many of the issues aren't due to blanket racism as much as the odds of finding oneself suddenly thrust into a violent situation that causes many of the issues we are seeing. We all know what is meant by good neighborhoods, good schools etc. And the reverse. If one looks at the most violent cities in the nation, they all have one thing in common, and unlike many I'm not sure it can be directly laid on the feet of Democrat leadership, although they do seem to exacerbate the issue by tossing out excuses such as poverty and oppression due to unearned racism.
The majority of peoples do not want to be around so much anger and violence. If we could solve that, many of these issues would go away. But it's become the talking point to blame innocent people based on the color of their skin, and instead of giving handups the solution is to destroy everything the innocent people have so all will be equally screwed.
When I was younger I ran as a teen with mostly black and Mexican kids. They were tougher than most of the white kids I knew, and I appreciated their anger at that time for the most part as I was angry as well. I had a lot of respect for their toughness due to my anger. Even as an adult, when I've worked at various places in between being self employed, I still tend to gravitate more towards those groups. I also have close family that is black as well.
The part that is bothering me is that violence doesn't have to be the norm. The black people I have associated with as an adult do not behave like that, and for the most part choose not to live in black majority areas where this level of violence is normalized. They want no part of any of that either. It's not a racial issue per se, it's a violence issue.
This current climate that is being whipped into a frenzy by Democrat leadership and main steam media is beginning to frighten me. It is creating real racists in more white people. Creating an anger and hatred in people who before were at most simply wary. It frightens me for the black people I love, who in no way shape or form fits this violent mob we see being whipped up in these poor black areas.
This is where I grow exasperated. Love is the answer, but what to do when so many are angry and hateful and simply want blood in the streets? I refuse to lay down and acquiesce to their ignorant hatred of myself and the foundations of my people. I'm the first to agree many things need to change, systems devised to keep us ALL down. But as long as they are pointing hate filled mobs at society who aren't in control and are simply trying their best to make a life for themselves and loved ones successfully, these mobs leave the majority with no choice but to choose the side of structure and order, no matter how corrupt it is.
No justice, no peace = me and my loved ones blood running in the street pretty much insures I can't be an ally.
