Actually, if Black criminals were to perpetrate crimes against Whites, they are far more likely to do the time than if they were to victimize other Black people. You paint it as to say "Black people are the scourge of America and only non-Blacks are affected by this". Most of the "carnage", as in dead bodies, are Black victims who got murdered. And this occurred in ghettos. Sounds mainly like an inner city problem.
My major problem is that people don't discuss the causes of such violence and don't offer solutions. I try and discuss the problems and offer solutions. What I've seen on here is "Blacks are a problem and need to be avoided". Considering that I'm Black, I have alot to lose.
I admire your persistence but the people you are speaking to are beyond help.

I keep trying because I feel like I need to educate some people. I also try to get to the bottom of how many people are thinking. I can sort of tell, but said persons won't come out and say it.
or ghetto families duking it out at their child's bus stop...
I've never lived in the ghetto, for that reason, I have never seen what happened in Cleveland. The closest I came to living in a ghetto was a sketchy apartment complex in Marietta,GA. Even there I never saw families fight at the bus stop. I've seen violence between college students and from young people.
And anyone pointing out an embarrassing fact is automatically labeled racist in order to try to shut them up. I get how this works now.
Just watch a movie from the 1950's and see how much more polite society was compared to today. And then imagine society 50 years from now from what you're seeing.
I see heavily guarded gated cities for the rich and slums for the poor in the future.

Actually, it is the reason people point things about. Many cases, some people point certain things out as a way to justify their own prejudice against Blacks, to support their agenda of "Blacks are savages, avoid them". If that is the reason some people are pointing some things out, then there is a problem. I care about WHY a person says certain things.

Green mariner, a question I have for you I think is in order here. We discussed how blacks just leave the urban environment instead of stay and fix it (I believe you told me this is what you or your family did), so my question is, isn't that "black flight"? And if so, how do you feel about how the Twin Cities has fared in the last several decades with "white flight," and how areas like mine that were predominately white now are predominately minority. Do you consider "white flight" racist, and if so, is "black flight" okay with you? Clearly it is happening right here in the TC, and I'll be frank right now and say that when I start a family I absolutely am gone in a second, and refuse to raise them (particularly daughters) on the East Side when that time comes.
I'm interested in your take on this.
