Poor kids who live in suppressed neighborhoods have little opportunities. White or black, it doesn't matter. But I don't know any white neighborhoods that are suppressed.

But some of you are bound and determined to believe things that confirm your predisposed notions no matter what the truth is.

I guess I can then say 'these particular blacks' are racist since they think all blacks look a like?

Yeah, isn't it terrible how some neighborhoods have no opportunity? Aren't there building codes that require that? What are people thinking when they construct these opportunity-free streets and houses in the first place? smh...

I also lived about 7 years as an adult in a neighborhood that was 80% or more black. Even went through a race riot on the wrong side of the police lines.

And You?
I've experienced urban living demographics weighted more heavily black, but for maybe 8.5 years. But my experiences in both white and black urban settings and white suburban settings is that I can count on just one hand the number of times fists have been thrown at me (or on one occasion a kitchen knife held to my neck) by people who weren't black.

Someone needs to declare martial Law in the black community. Things are getting out of hand.

We all know this even if some don't want to admit it.

Yes, good grades are considered a "white thing" but only if conservative media influences your thinking...

It's funny how some people like to make small one offs like this the black norm. But it's not going to work, because we're not going to allow you to paint our narrative.
