The "none of your business" attitude, let me explain something. Most of the time, issues like this are only brought up out of anger towards Blacks. Anytime that is the main tone, there is no trust. Why discuss things like this if you feel said person looks down on you?

And how is Blacks being in last place in so many categories affecting you?
Exactly! These issues aren't discussed with sincerity. It's not about genuine concern, it's to indirectly and subtly let out whatever prejudices and racial hangups they may have.

Just as moderate muslims need to speak out against extremism, blacks in this country need to do the same. There are too many areas in this country where it is more or less seen as a badge of courage to be basically a thug. That crosses all racial boundaries. A thug is a thug irrespective of race, but sadly blacks seem to be cultivating more of the thug element than other races in this country. Right now blacks need to speak up against this violence and destruction. Let the "underclass" see that they are not respected or feared. Acceptance of this type of criminal behavior by peers will only lead to more of the same.

And until there is genuine concern and sincerity, there won't be trust. Until there are no feelings of racial hangups and people trying to vent their anger and prejudice, then the response will be "none of your business". It is a trust issue. There are Black people talking about these issues. It just isn't always discussed out in the open.
