Can I ask you guys who suspect "racism" played a role an honest question and get an honest answer?
If "white racism" is the reason for the problems in places like Ferguson, then why do black people who live in white areas usually have enjoyable and crime-free lives, despite being surrounded by evil whites?
Shouldn't it be the opposite? Shouldn't we hear about blacks who wander into "enemy territory" like Oregon being gunned down by white supremacists? But that doesn't happen. They become accountants and buy a 4 bedroom.
It's obviously quite the opposite. These predominantly black areas lose touch with European-style civilization and start to regress into African norms. This "big man get stuff, small man obey" culture is of course incompatible with modern civilization, including law enforcement, so conflict occurs.
Of course admitting this puts the black male ego at stake, so it's much more convenient to just pretend whites "oppress" you, despite that every contact between European and African cultures has resulted in the degradation of the former and rapid advancement of the latter.
