Fair enough. I'm just giving my viewpoint from the personal interactions with black people in my area. That's basically what I've gathered from most of them

It's most likely different causes in different areas of the country though. Regardless, I think the war on drugs is complete bullshite and it cost the taxpayer too much money to fight. Just legalize and regulate everything except hardcore drugs like Meth and Heroine and get these non violent offenders out of prison.

Legalize weed and all these "criminal drug dealers" are all of a sudden working taxpayers selling a product in the free market

Here's my opinion, and if you disagree with it then whatever.

The crimes for minorities, blacks in particular, is astonishing. Use whatever excuse you want, but it is a fact.

I personally think that it's the US government's policies as a whole over the course of several generations that are at fault, in many different ways.

In the south in particular, you had a much higher employment rate if blacks up until the 60s vs today. Albiet, the jobs were shitty, but nonetheless they were working at a much higher rate. In the 60s, we saw all the civil rights movements and the government mandated social reforms. All of these things did a great deal of good in granting blacks rights that they had before been denied, but they also brought about a sense of entitlement. Many realized that they could not work and gain better wages than they did beforehand, and that morphed into a culture that was more damaging than was forseen.

Today after a couple of generations of this lifestyle,young blacks have increasingly become bitter towards the treatment seen during the pre-civil rights era and want no part of what they see as respectable American lifestyle as deemed by their White superiors. It all goes back to bitterness over the past, which whites as a whole are much to blame.


It discourages me knowing the advantages blacks have these days with employment, scholarship, etc, and knowing that they are in large part going to waste.

This obviously doesn't go for all blacks, many are living full potential lives. I just hope the problem can get batter during my lifetime, and hopefully political leaders find a solution, because over the last 50 years it has gradually gotten worse.

Solid post. I agree 100%.

Political leaders don't want a solution, because they really don't care about them. They want to keep them on the welfare plantation and continue to race bait and use false propaganda in order to steal their votes.

Nothing will change until the black community itself addresses it's own problems and fixes them. Politicians and Government will not fix the problems. The only thing gov't is good at is creating more problems.

I'm hoping that improvements in education and the dying off of the generation that lived during the Civil Rights era will lead to faster healing and more productive generations in the future that don't base everything on race.

I too think it's a combination of things..before i get started, let me add:

I am not scared of black people, or hispanics, or any race, nor do i think any less of them.

I think that there is a huge problem with the "ghetto" culture--or culture that idolizes drugs,violence, money at any cost etc. Are there socioeconomic factors involved? You bet your arse there are. Blacks, among other races, have had it especially hard in America and aren't seen kindly in the eyes of prosecutors most of the time. Many black children don't have a father figure to teach them how to behave in society and you will see deviance in these poor urban black children just as you will see it in the poor rural white children who don't have a father figure or come from a broken home. They are habitual offenders both as a product of generations of dysfunction and a culture they idolize which keeps them in the same place they are or worse.

In the end, it's all about responsibility of the individual. Yes, there are many socioeconomic factors and many that can be attributed to race. But in today's world, both white and black, regardless of where you came from--you are the one who reaches a point of deciding whether to make a future for yourself or fall back into the same bad habits as your friends or relatives. That's it.
