A. That's true--70 percent of black people do not live in those areas.
B. Even a lot of black people who do live in the hood are not hoods.
People concentrate on the hoods more than anyone else. Bad gets far more attention than good. Saying that Blacks are all about the payback is a farce. How many Blacks actually speak about "the payback". Maybe 1 percent of the population, and they scream louder than anyone else.

Well, to be fair, there IS a ton of pretense running through all discussions racial. In fact, almost everything is in code.
I appreciate the civility in your post. If we were to carry that thought out further, however, we get the notion that I can never have ideas or opinions about anything black because I am not black. And of course, you can not have ideas or opinions about anything white because you are not white.
I don't agree with that.
Doing this isn't "carrying out the thought", it's misunderstanding my post. Anyone can have an opinion or idea. It won't mean that their opinion or idea is accurate or justified. Someone making an overarching generalization falls into the this category. Especially when they have very little experience with what they're talking about...
i don't know what these posters who are constantly starting threads about perceived black injustice are hoping to accomplish here. they are not going to change one mind or do anything that achieves change. if they want to do that they need to go do it - not sit behind their computer and post to a message board.
same goes for voters. nothing is going to change by going back and forth on a message board among a limited group of people that can take time to post.

To be fair, nothing is being accomplished by posting on CD. CD is a place where white nationalist ideas are all over the place and people like me dismantle their ridiculous ideas...

Well, you can shoot the messenger all you want, if it makes you feel better about the sad truth in 2016.

Then simply don't read those threads, good God, man.
I would be willing to bet that far more black people are regular folks living the normal American life than are living in "the hood" protesting at a BLM event. The biggest injustice against black people has been carried out by the media who has portrayed the typical black person as a resident of a place like Detroit or Ferguson who hates the cops, carries a huge racial chip and dodges bullets when he/she steps out of the house.
The urge to push-back against the ignorance of the o.p. premise is understandable. I fear that in the rush to do that, however, an equally inaccurate portrayal of black America as a community that is doing 'just fine thank you' wants to establish itself. The black middle class is actually very small. Among minorities, blacks have an amazing number of super high achievers living above a middle class standard and a depressingly large number living below a middle class standard. There is much more balance between these groups in other minorities, and especially among whites where, although shrinking, the middle class is 50% of the total. No other racial group is missing 3 million of its men! Every other group of Americans has equal numbers of men and women. And the male attrition is ongoing. I would like to see a healthy obsession about black people develop in the hearts and minds of those very people who want to think that black people are just fine thank you. We ain't.
