Crash, what is the illegitemacy rate among African-Americans?
How about the murder rate?
Bottom line is racism is real, but it's not the major problem facing black America today.
As for the rest - black on black violent crime, drug use, etc - these are sociological conditions well-known to stem from conditions of crushing poverty.
Another way to look at it is that these things are what causes crushing poverty.
Let me ask you something? You ever lived in a minority dominated neighborhood? Ever hear gunshots in the street in front of your home? Ever counsel drug addicts and prostitutes in such neighborhoods and help them start a new life? Ever talked to young people in such neighborhoods about working hard to make it when they believe they can't because they've been told white America will keep them back? You ever really helped someone successfully from such a disadvantaged background succeed? Ever dealt with people from a hardcore criminal background change?
How much of poor, black America have you really seen?
I ask not because just seeing or knowing these things means one would be correct, but just to see if you are really aware of what goes on?
If you ask me, a huge problem is the illegitimacy rate....the lack of positive male leadership in the home.
