Your OP is a generalization about all people belonging to a certain ethnicity. Even if it's tongue in cheek, it's racist.

I been in most of the lower 48 states. I've been in a lot of the larger cities in those states. I've also been in many smaller areas, with fewer jobs and opportunities.

I don't think blacks are necessarily bad. But when a community becomes say, 80+% black, it turns into a low key war zone.
Houses and apartments with no windows, drugs all over the place, robberies etc.

I don't WANT it to be this way, it just seems that it is. If it was one or two locations, I might be able to blame it on the locations or the job market.
I've seen it over and over, all across this country.

I've seen poor, white communities as well. At least from what I've seen, whites generally don't tear up the places they live in.
Personally, I've never understood, why anyone, of any race would tear up their own homes.

There's poor communities all over. I've come to the conclusion, backed by observation, that if you tear up your own community, you'll NEVER get ahead in this world.

I think part of the problem is that various races tend to gather in communities of like race. When this happens, the people living there only get one viewpoint, which may not be for the best.
There are plenty of well to do blacks in the US. Generally they come from mixed race communities.

Sometimes, in a bad area, someone does make it out, and sometimes they make it big. Sometimes they go back to where they grew up and dump money into the community.
It lasts for a while, but it generally devolves back into a slum and it doesn't take too long for that to happen.



This is just what I've seen. I didn't read it anywhere, I didn't take anyone's word for it... I just observed.

Haha look at this white guy talking about blacks, reported for racism. Better luck next time bucko

Would you rather I used the incorrect term African American? :/

You need to spend more time with rural whites then. Just because you're sheltered doesn't mean they aren't rocking and rolling in the trailer parks and hollars.

Real talk.

Id prefer if you stopped having white privilege

the OP isn't necessarily about the people. this discussion is also for the general problem that impoverish areas are also highly african american. for example, are we not funding enough schools/recreation centers there? are we really not training police properly? are we really not giving them a fair opportunity to succeed?


the issue is that with problems like this, there are MANY factors, but the world is afraid to talk about these issues and create potential solution in fear of being labeled racist

this has been my general observation as well

absolutely 100% true, the issue is the amount though

what ive been finding is that the extremely impoverished white community is pretty much identical to the extremely impoverished black community, minus most of the violence

that does not exist

lol ur a meme

Blacks are not inherently violent, but are easily trained to engage in criminality. They see criminals as successful. Just a sad case of monkey see, monkey do.
