I know what you're saying. Believe me though, there's no way for you or I to understand the problem fully. I've only recently begun to understand the extent of it myself. The anger among these people is great, you often don't want to be the lone white face in these areas, I understand where you're coming from.
It's just sad, because we can't tackle a problem if we can't come face the root causes. As painful as it may be to accept, this problem has it's roots in white America. The sooner we all face that, the sooner we may be able to do something about it.
".... That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained."
– Haile Selassie, fmr emperor of Ethiopia, at the United Nations in 1963
