Second, you don't really mean "Roxbury" residents. You make it obvious you're talking about Black people but you don't have the nurtz to come right out and say it.

Third, It's not "fickle" to consider that conditions in a community can change over a thirty year period. Intelligent, aware people would naturally observe the actual conditions as they are presently, compared to the past, and act accordingly. People who care about their community work to make the best of conditions where they live, and work to improve things they observe to be harmful to their community.

People who care about their community and their country work at making it better rather than work at race baiting, stereotyping, dogwhistleing, etc.

Personally, I regret ever coming here, being raised here, and that I didn't go back where I came from when I was young enough to do so. America is a degraded culture, founded on the genocide of native peoples, slavery, and Jim Crow. Too bad some of you can't raise your selves above that bacause you've become a pariah around the world. The whole world watched four police officers murder an unarmed man in cold blood and no one, not even North Korea, wants to see Americans coming.

Is North Korea really the country you want to compare us to? Millions have died in North Korea because of their government

I don't see a big push for Americans to emigrate to North Korea

Harder to condense histories than span a couple thousand years or more.

Not really. American history is waves of highly motivated immigrants who rapidly grew the economy. In 2020, the significant ones are Asian/Indian.

It’s both.
