I stand by that statement. I thought it was a straight forward observation. The conditions in some of this countries urban areas is horrendous. I didn't respond to comments because it looked like posters were trying to spin something else out of it. I am willing to modify the first sentence because I don't have data proving how things have worsened, as if it could get much worse.
But if you want data: Half the murders in this country are committed by an ethnic group representing six percent of the population, and if you eliminate the old and the very young from that population then half the murders in this country are committed by a group representing three percent of the population, half the murders in the country are being committed in less than one percent of the country's area, black urban ghetto regions. All this while we are witnessing paid pundits and news media trying to convince all that the biggest problem we face is gun toting whitie preying on innocent young black children. And of course the masses bought it because the blame and shame game is easy, entertaining and it pays.
The real civil rights atrocity in this country is this urban violence.
Millions of Americans are being denied the opportunities available in this
country because the current administration is more inclined to appease the
gangland culture causing these conditions to persist than oppose it, to the
point of enabling, endorsing, and encouraging it. They have instead focused
their activism on gun control directed at conservative and in comparison, low
crime regions of the country. We are on the verge of being forced to declare a
lost generation of people living in urban ghetto areas who, by no fault of their
own, are being forced to survive under these horrific conditions.
This
administration, with the aid of most civil rights attorneys, could make sweeping
changes to improve urban culture. Why aren't they? |
