I'm not afraid of poor blacks. Poor people aren't evil, my family lives paycheck to paycheck. Then again, as I understand it, there are/were whole neighborhoods in NOLA where the cops wouldn't even respond to because the gangs were so violent. I'm not stupid, the ghettos are no joke and no place to be for a white perosn in most circumstances.
But that's exactly my point: The poverty that forces the ghetto existence, gives rise to the ghetto mentality. And the poverty in the ghetto is due largely to institutional racism in this country. You can deny it exists, and it is a painful reality, but it's a problem that we haven't dealt with during the civil rights struggle, only swept aside into the streets of cities like NOLA.
There are countless factors at play here sure, and apathy is widely apparent among the afflicted, the poor people of every race. It appears sometimes that people just want to live a criminal life, or a violent life. I can guarantee that these men didn't start life as sociopathic babies.
Don't ever accept the argument that "these people are different, they aren't willing to work hard, they aren't willing to sacrifice, they're taking all our tax money), etc etc.
Those are discriminatory and prejudiced attitudes that mask the reality that we're all being hoodwinked. A trillion in Iraq and we're taught to blame the welfare moms?
