Lolwut? Who was talking about attacks though? There was some violence but most of the racism was through denial of opportunity. Why in the fuck are you comparing the situation in a third world country to race relations in the US? Just because they both involve dark skinned people? So logical. Completely different circumstances. I never said black people don't have any responsibility. There's no denying a lot of the sorry state of black communities is due to generations of racism and oppression though. Seriously go read a book it isn't debatable. So generations of enforced poverty through denial of jobs, education, funding for schools, social programs, social hazing, police profiling, you don't think ANY of that has a lasting effect on a community?
It's magically all good because things are relatively equal now? That shows a profound lack of understanding of how psychology works. Seriously. Completely fucking up a group of people does lasting damage that doesn't magically go away. You mentioned Natives, why do you think they're the way they are? They just feel like being assholes? The hundreds of years of racism and oppression don't have anything to do with the high rate of drug and alcohol abuse that natives are dealing with? That's entirely because they're just crappy people? You show a serious lack of thought. Negative treatment for generations absolutely contributes to a negative feedback loop that can heavily damage a community.
I think the more significant point is, at this point, you're going to have to help yourself. There are a plethora of social programs available, welfare, scholarships, academic assistance, job placement assistance, etc, etc, but none of those programs can actually solve any problems for black people, they're designed to help them help themselves. Life is hard, being "successful" is hard, you can get some help, but ultimately you're the captain of your own ship. There is no government program that can force someone to make mostly good choices.
On a related point, giving someone a couple hundred dollars a week as a method to help them improve their lot in life is quite literally one of the worst ideas western democracy has ever produced. Any sort of welfare program should have the ultimate aim of helping someone become self sufficient, not floating them in squalor from week to week.
How about you give someone housing, food, child care, health care, etc., for 5 years, while you provide them with an extensive education on being....an electrician, a plumber, tech support, accounting, office manager, etc, etc, whatever. So that they can actually have a good life, make some good money and be a productive part of society. It will be much cheaper in the long run, and actually improve "quality of life".
Not all of this is directed at you MIke, or meant to be adversarial.
