With all the protests in the news, white America continues to show it's truest colors. The big 'lie' we have all been forced to deal with over the last 60 years, is that white people have changed.
We have been lied to. White America is as racist as it ever was!
The response to Black Lives Matter, from white America has been "What about black on black crime?". But, we know from attempting to talk to white people About that issue, that they do not really Care about that issue. Black people have been working to reduce crime in black neighborhoods for decades.
However the 'problems' that lead To black on black crime, are often systemic. Translation, white people create nearly all the problems that black communities have, which contribute significantly to black on black crime.
But, White America will never admit to that; because they're just as racist as ever.
White people today are literally NO different from white people 100 years ago. The only thing that has changed, are laws. Where it used to be illegal for white women to marry black men, they can legally do it now. Unfortunately in too many cases, those relationships are not based on anything real, other than outward attraction.
Too often the white woman is preying on the black man; or vice versa; and the black man and woman, still remain powerless to fend them off. As white culture is very aggressive and often starts altercations with others. Then when others defend themselves, or fight back, white culture routinely finds fault with the ones they've attacked instead of themselves.
That is very problematic and difficult to 'live with' - as white culture has proven throughout 100's of years. Nothing has changed.
How come white people don't want better police? Because it would show that white people are the aggressors. It would mean white people have to change something about themselves, and that's never been their goal. The view that most white people have of themselves, & their ancestors is that they are heroic and brave.
Any evidence or suggestion that they are neither immediately triggers their ego. So the mere suggestion that white people are responsible for black on black crime goes in one ear and out the other.
Noisy did an excellent documentary about a year ago, that examines the city of Compton. In this documentary an excellent point is made about 'black on black crime' near the end of the clip below. It comes from a psychologist Dr. Jorja Leap, who studies these topics, who is also white. She is unlike most white people who simply talk directly out of their ass.
From the top of this interview, the conversation is about how blacks have to 'avoid' what's already in their environment. Well, unfortunately white people never stop to ask how those conditions got there. Crime is linked directly to Poverty, and Compton has been oppressed economically for decades.
If white people wanted to do anything about black on black crime white people would address Poverty. White people have always wanted to keep black people poor in the history of this nation. The moment slavery ended, white people began working on how to keep blacks down. That's the true legacy of this nation....
The frustration of 'being held down' often causes people to have outbursts. Sometimes, these outbursts will be violent, and may end the lives of others. When you don't care about your own life, you will have little value for another persons' life. That's what white culture has always done though; Dehumanize black life.
White culture dehumanizes black life through several different methods, including under funding Schools. By not educating black kids, they help ensure these black kids will not grow up to have high self esteem. The influx of Hispanics into the nation had also, until very recently, been welcomed by white culture.
Instead of hiring blacks, white people began hiring Hispanics. Now to get a job you have to be bi-lingual, but black people didn't create that situation . White people did, out of their desire to keep blacks down. They decided to life another race up, which, is why you'll often see Hispanics with 'racist, white culture rooted' ideas about blacks.
So, you don't have money, or an education, and you cannot get a job.
You're out here trying to compete, to live - to find a mate, have and raise kids. Meanwhile so are others in the same boat as you; and a fight is bound to break out. When it does, white people who created the situation act shocked.....
To make this problem even worse, there are white police preying on black communities. So much of what black people go through causes them to 'self medicate', through drug use or drinking. Naturally, poor choices are sure to follow from that 'aswell' -
"When (white) people find out I work here, the First question is always AREn't You Scared" (showcasing the mentality of white America; they fear black people, black neighborhoods, and yet have so much to say about black people; that is often uninformed.) - What is here is a vibrant, marginalized, troubled, interesting community - How have they been Marginalized? - Dr. Leap continues .... Well, Poverty is the great marginalizer, let's begin with that. Thees areas have always been low income, under resourced, poor areas.
Did you all get that?
Who created these conditions for black people and have worked to keep them there? White people have, that's who. When the conditions they put blacks in, lead to black on black crime... whites pin that directly on black people. Alone.
When cops murder blacks, a totally unrelated subject, whites bring up black on black crime. They suggest that since blacks kill one another, that they are dangerous, should be feared and shot by police. For some reason, white people do not want blacks to have the same rights that they have.
But that's always been who white people are.... they have not changed. There have always been a SMALL percentage who aren't like the rest; the majority of white people hate non-whites, and just are not good decent people. NO matter how much they pat one another on the back, they're just not.
White people are always 'standing in the way' of black people. They should be thankful that blacks are not nearly as violent as they say we are. Or else, black people might organize and work together to literally remove white people from the planet.
But, black people are always looking for peaceful solutions.
Even in protests, where riots break out and buildings are burned - it's an attack on property not persons. White people love to quote Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. but avoid what he said about riots. He said riots are the language of the unheard. He said when people attack buildings, the buildings 'represent the white power structure'....
Naturally this is why white people get upset at the buildings being burned down. Not the black life that was taken by a police officer who was 'supposed' to protect and serve. Because those protests, are against the white power structure. The Police are one of the biggest symbols of white power. White people seem to take glee in the blacks that police have murdered.
It's one less N*gger for them to worry about; one extra space a white person can fill.....
I wish I could do something to change how white people are - but only white people can do that. As they continue to be who they've always been, the same people who stole land from Natives, the doubt is high.... they may never change.
Meanwhile, even though blacks did not put themselves in that position I hope they find a way out. Blacks most likely will be peaceful about it, and white people will get violent and angry. It's what always happens.... that's the problem with White America .... and Black on Black crime.
White people don't talk about this - When they killed 300 black people and burned a town in America. All because black people were doing well.
